Abstract

The proposed semiconductor device can provide a capacitor having an excellent capacitance controllability thereof and a high reliability thereof. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises the steps of: forming a first insulating film on a semiconductor substrate on which a lower capacitor electrode has been formed; removing the first insulating film at a capacitor forming region on the lower capacitor electrode; forming a second insulating film on the semiconductor substrate; forming a conductive film on the formed second insulating film; patterning the conductive film and the second insulating film, to leave both the films at least at the capacitor forming region; patterning the first insulating film, to form a contact hole with the lower capacitor electrode at a region other than the capacitor forming region; and dry etching the lower capacitor electrode, to remove a natural oxide film formed at a bottom of the contact hole.
