Abstract

A semiconductor device having a ferroelectric capacitor is formed by the steps of forming a lower electrode on a substrate, applying a rapid thermal annealing process to the lower electrode, depositing, after the step of rapid thermal annealing process, a ferroelectric film on the lower electrode, crystallizing the ferroelectric film by applying a thermal annealing process to the ferroelectric film, and forming an upper electrode on the ferroelectric insulation film.
