Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device such as DRAM including a capacitor, wherein a lower electrode of the capacitor is a metal electrode, the metal electrode being mainly composed of ruthenium or iridium, and being connected directly to a capacitor dielectric film through no oxide layer of materials of the metal electrode formed on the surface of the metal electrode. The lower electrode made of iridium or ruthenium can easily be processed as compared with the conventional case where platinum is employed to form the electrode and also can not be oxidized when the capacitor dielectric film is formed, thus reduction in the capacitance can be prevented.
