In a semiconductor device including a plurality of memory cells, a deposition preventing film is formed on an interlayer insulating film in which a plurality of holes are formed, or a seed film is selectively formed on the interlayer insulating film and on an inner surface and a bottom surface of the holes. A film of Ru, Ir or Pt is deposited by chemical vapor deposition on the deposition preventing film, or on the interlayer insulating film by utilizing the seed film, under the condition where underlayer dependency occurs. In consequence, lower electrodes are formed in accordance with a pattern of the deposition preventing film or the seed film. A dielectric film is formed on the lower electrodes and the deposition preventing film at a predetermined temperature. The material of the lower electrodes does not lose conduction even when exposed to the predetermined temperature employed for forming the dielectric film. Upper electrodes are further formed on the dielectric film. The upper and lower electrodes and an oxide dielectric film together constitute capacitors of the memory cells.
