Abstract:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, the method comprising the steps of:depositing a protective insulating film on a semiconductor substrate having first and second field-effect transistors formed thereon; forming a first contact plug and a second contact plug in the protective insulating film, the first contact plug being connected to an impurity diffusion layer serving as a source or drain region of the first field-effect transistor, the second contact plug being connected to an impurity diffusion layer serving as a source or drain region of the second field-effect transistor; forming, on the protective insulating film, a capacitor lower electrode connected directly to the first contact plug; forming, on the capacitor lower electrode, a capacitor insulating film made of an insulating metal oxide; and forming, on the capacitor insulating film, a capacitor upper electrode connected to the second contact plug.
