Abstract

When a capacitor is formed on a semiconductor substrate, a lower electrode of the capacitor is first formed. After an insulating film is formed on the lower electrode, it is selectively etched until the lower electrode is exposed, and in this way, a hole portion is formed in the insulating film. After a ferroelectric film is formed inside the hole portion and on the insulating film, the ferroelectric film is polished and removed by a chemical-mechanical polishing method in such a manner as to leave the ferroelectric film inside the hole portion. Thereafter, an upper electrode of the capacitor is formed on the ferroelectric film.
