Abstract

There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a capacitor in a semiconductor device. The present invention forms a Ru film as a lower electrode of the capacitor in which a Ta2O5 film is used as a dielectric film by introducing Ru of a raw material, oxygen and NH3 in order to reduce oxygen or a NH3 plasma process as a subsequent process is performed in order to remove oxygen existing on the surface of the Ru film. Therefore, the present invention can prevent oxidization of a diffusion prevention film due to oxygen existing in a Ru film during annealing process performed after deposition of a Ta2O5 film and thus improve reliability of the device.
