Abstract

A semiconductor device has a capacitive element with excellent leak current characteristics which has a tungsten film with a roughened surface for increasing the surface of a lower electrode. A capacitive element for use in a VLSI memory circuit such as a DRAM or the like is fabricated by forming a thin, roughened tungsten film selectively on a surface of a lower electrode of polysilicon by chemical vapor-phase growth and forming a capacitive insulating film on the surface of the lower electrode of polysilicon, densifying the capacitive insulating film, and forming an upper electrode of a metal element.
