A lower electrode is formed on a substrate, a capacitive insulating film is formed out of a ferroelectric film on the lower electrode, and an upper electrode is formed on the capacitive insulating film. A contact layer is formed on the upper electrode. The contact layer is either a single-layer film made of a metal oxide or a metal nitride or a multilayer structure made up of metal oxide and metal nitride films. An insulating film is formed to cover the lower electrode, capacitive insulating film, upper electrode and contact layer. A contact hole is opened through the insulating film and the contact layer to reach the upper electrode. A metal interconnect, which is filled in the contact hole and connected to the upper electrode, is formed on a part of the insulating film.

A capacitor upper electrode and a wiring are electrically connected to each other by using a plug and a conductive layer formed below a capacitive element without using a plug that directly connects the capacitor upper electrode to the wiring provided thereon via an interlayer insulating film therebetween. Alternatively, the capacitor upper electrode is covered by a conductive hydrogen barrier film, and the capacitor upper electrode and the wiring are electrically connected to each other via both a plug connecting the wiring and the conductive hydrogen barrier film to each other and the conductive hydrogen barrier film.

An impurity diffusion layer serving as the source or the drain of a transistor is formed in a semiconductor substrate, and a protection insulating film is formed so as to cover the transistor.

An oxygen barrier layer is formed between the plug and the capacitor lower electrode. The oxygen barrier layer is made from a composite nitride that is a mixture or an alloy of a first nitride having a conducting property and a second nitride having an insulating property.
