Abstract

A first silicon film is so formed as to extend along the inner surface of trenches 52 formed in a silicon oxide film 50, an oxide film is formed on the surface of the first silicon film, and a second amorphous silicon film is further deposited. Heat-treatment is applied to the surface of the second amorphous silicon film for seeding silicon nuclei and for promoting grain growth, and a granular silicon crystal 57 is grown from the second amorphous silicon film. In this way, the resistance of a lower electrode 59 of a capacitance device can be lowered.
