After an interlayer insulating film is deposited on a silicon substrate, a contact hole or contact holes is or are formed at a desired position(s) and, then, after a polysilicon layer is deposited and the contact hole(s) is (are) embedded, the surface of the polysilicon layer is flattened by chemical and mechanical polishing using at least one of piperazine or colloidal silica slurry, and a barrier metal film 4 and a highly dielectric thin film 5 are deposited and processed to a desired size. Finally, an Al/TiN film 6 adapted for the upper electrode is formed. The leak current of the thin film capacitor which is obtained according to this method can be greatly reduced.

摘要:
A thin film capacitor uses a dielectric film of high dielectric constant. A lower electrode is disposed on a contact, an interlayer insulating film is in contact with the lower electrode, a dielectric film of high dielectric constant covers the lower electrode, and an upper electrode covers the dielectric film. Thicknesses of the dielectric film at lower end portions of the lower electrode are thin but thick enough to make a leakage current value lower than a tolerable value thereof. At locations immediately below the lower electrode, the interlayer insulating film has portions whose thicknesses are larger than thicknesses of other portions thereof. The interlayer insulating film is such that, immediately below the regions of the dielectric film which are located at lower end portions of sides of the lower electrode and at which thicknesses of the dielectric film are very thin, the thicknesses of the interlayer insulating film are made larger than the rest thereof, or the dielectric film is such that lower end portions thereof are thin but thick enough to make a leakage current value lower than a tolerable value thereof. In this way, the occurrence of leakage current at the lower end portions of the lower electrode is suppressed.
