Abstract

A capacitor includes a polycrystalline silicon layer 1 as a lower electrode layer, a dielectric layer 112, and a polycrystalline silicon layer 113 as an upper electrode layer. The dielectric layer 112 is formed by an oxynitride film 2, a silicon nitride film 3 and a top oxide film 4. A film thickness t.sub.3 of the top oxide film 4 is controlled to be less than 20 .ANG.. Capacitance of the capacitor can be increased while improving the duration of life of the dielectric layer, resulting in a highly reliable capacitor.
