Abstract
A semiconductor device includes cylindrical capacitors each including corresponding cylindrical electrodes. Each cylindrical electrode includes hemispherical silicon grains. The hemispherical silicon grains protruding from an upper region of the cylindrical electrode have a large size, and the hemispherical silicon grains protruding from a lower region of the cylindrical electrode have a small size or the lower region of the cylindrical electrode has no hemispherical silicon grains.
