    摘要: To securely prevent hydrogen from entering a ferroelectric layer of a ferroelectric memory. A first hydrogen barrier layer 5 is formed on the lower side of ferroelectric capacitors 7. Upper surfaces and side surfaces of the ferroelectric capacitors 7 are covered by a second hydrogen barrier layer. All upper electrodes 7c of the plural ferroelectric capacitors 7 to be connected to a common plate line P are connected to one another by an upper wiring layer 91. The upper wiring layer 91 is connected to the plate line P through a lower wiring 32 provided below the ferroelectric capacitors 7. A third hydrogen barrier layer 92 is formed on the upper wiring layer 91 such that all edge sections 92a of the third hydrogen barrier layer 92 come in contact with the first hydrogen barrier layer 5.

    摘要: The invention provides a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same that are capable of improving the product performance and operational efficiency of a cross-point FeRAM, as well as increasing the area of capacitors included in the cross-point FeRAM. An upper electrode supporting layer forming mask for forming an upper electrode supporting layer can be made of a hard mask material. By making use of the upper electrode supporting layer forming mask remaining unremoved in forming and processing a lower electrode layer, prior to forming an upper electrode layer, a region where a ferroelectric capacitor is formed can be made larger than an area occupied by an intersection of the upper electrode layer and the lower electrode layer.
