Abstract

A capacitor includes an object or a substrate including an insulation layer having an opening, an electrode structure having conductive patterns, a dielectric layer and an upper electrode. The electrode structure may have a first conductive pattern including metal and a second conductive pattern including metal oxide generated from the first conductive pattern. The first conductive pattern may fill the opening and may protrude over the insulation layer. The second conductive pattern may extend from the first conductive pattern. The electrode structure may additionally include a third conductive pattern disposed on the second conductive pattern. The capacitor including the electrode structure may ensure improved structural stability and electrical characteristics.
