A semiconductor device is provided with a multilayered interconnection and a capacitor dielectric element, in which the transistor in the device has a non-degraded characteristics and the degradation of the capacitor dielectric element is suppressed. The semiconductor device has wiring layers connecting to one another through contact holes in insulating layers. One of the insulating layers is formed so as to cover at least a part of the area above the transistor and so as not to cover the area above the capacitor dielectric element. Hydrogen generated by heat-treating the insulating layer is supplied to the transistor to recover the damage in it, while hydrogen is suppressed from arriving at the capacitor element so that the capacitor dielectric element does not degrade.

A capacitor 25 is formed on an insulating layer 21a formed on a semiconductor substrate 21. The end portion of a capacitor insulating layer 23 is positioned between the end portion of a bottom electrode 22 and the end portion of a top electrode 24. A passivation layer 26 for covering the capacitor 25 is formed. Interconnections 28 are connected to the bottom electrode 22 through a first hole 27a and to the top electrode 24 through a second hole 27b. In this way, since the end portion of the capacitor insulating layer 23 is out of the end portion of the top electrode 24, the end portion of the capacitor insulating layer 23 injured by etching does not affect the capacitance.
