Abstract

A method of manufacturing a ferroelectric memory device includes: forming an active element on a substrate; forming an interlayer insulating layer on the substrate; forming an opening on the interlayer insulating layer and forming a contact plug inside the opening; forming a foundation layer above the substrate; and laminating, on the foundation layer, a first electrode, a ferroelectric layer, and a second electrode. In this method, the forming of the foundation layer includes: forming a first titanium layer having a thickness less than a depth of a recess; nitriding the first titanium layer into a first titanium nitride layer; forming a second titanium layer on the first titanium nitride layer so as to at least partially fill the recess remaining on the contact plug; nitriding the second titanium layer into a second titanium nitride layer, and polishing a surface of the second titanium nitride layer.
