ABSTRACT:
When adopting a stack-type capacitor structure for a ferroelectric capacitor structure (30), an interlayer insulating film (27) is formed between a lower electrode (39) (or a barrier conductive film) and a conductive plug (22) to eliminate an impact of orientation/level difference on a surface of the conductive plug (22) onto the ferroelectric film (40). Differently from a conductive film like the lower electrode (39) or the barrier conductive film, the interlayer insulating film (27) can be formed without inheriting the orientation/level difference from its lower layers by planarizing the surface thereof.
