A semiconductor device comprises a substrate; an insulating layer formed over the substrate; a contact hole formed through the insulating layer; a plurality of first plug electrodes each formed inside the contact hole to the surface of the insulating layer; a capacitor layer formed on the first plug electrode in a first region; and a second plug electrode formed on the first plug electrode in a second region different from the first region. The capacitor layer includes a lower electrode, a ferroelectric film, and an upper electrode stacked in turn. The first plug electrode includes a plug conduction layer formed from the surface of the substrate, and a plug barrier layer formed from above the plug conduction layer up to an upper surface of the insulating layer, the plug barrier layer having a higher etching selection ratio than the lower electrode.
