Abstract

The present invention provides a method for fabricating a ferroelectric memory device to reduce manufacturing cost and to obtain the electric characteristic of capacitor. The method comprises the steps of: forming an intermetal insulating layer provided with a contact hole exposing a junction region formed on a semiconductor layer having the junction region; forming a contact plug within the contact hole; forming a barrier layer and a metal layer for lower electrode on the intermetal insulating layer successively; forming a lower electrode by patterning selected portions of the metal layer for lower electrode and the barrier layer; forming a high dielectric layer on the substrate on which the lower electrode is formed; and forming an upper electrode on the high dielectric layer, wherein during forming the upper electrode, an F ion layer to be trapped by dangling bonds formed at an interface between the upper electrode and the high dielectric layer, is formed at the interface.
