Abstract

This is a semiconductor device having an integrated circuit and a capacitor formed on a semiconductor substrate. The capacitor comprises a bottom electrode serving also as a part of a diffusion layer of the integrated circuit, a dielectric film being formed on the bottom electrode, and a top electrode of a conductive film being formed on the dielectric film. In particular, it is preferred to form the dielectric film in two layers of dielectric film, and compose the dielectric film contacting with the bottom electrode of a dielectric material in a composition possessing an excess of a metal element than the stoichiometric composition.
