Abstract

A semiconductor device for use in a memory cell including an active matrix provided with a silicon substrate, at least one transistor formed on the silicon substrate, a number of bottom electrodes formed over the transistors, a plurality of conductive plugs to electrically connect the bottom electrodes to the transistors, respectively, and an insulating layer formed around the conductive plugs. In the device, by carrying out a carbon treatment to top surface portions of the bottom electrode structure, it is possible to secure enough space to prevent the formation of bridges between the bottom electrodes.
