Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a semiconductor element formed in said semiconductor substrate; an insulating film covering said semiconductor element and formed above said semiconductor substrate; a lower insulating hydrogen diffusion preventive film made of aluminum oxide, having a hydrogen/moisture shielding function, and formed above said insulating film; a conductive adhesion enhancing film made of at least one material selected from a group consisting of Ti, and TiN, formed on said lower insulating hydrogen diffusion preventive film; a ferro-electric capacitor including a lower electrode formed above said conductive adhesion enhancing film, a ferro-electric film formed on said lower electrode and being disposed within said lower electrode as viewed in plan, and an upper electrode formed on said ferro-electric film and being disposed within said ferro-electric film as viewed in plan, wherein said conductive adhesion enhancing film has a function of improving adhesion of said lower electrode of said ferro-electric capacitor and reducing leak current of said ferro-electric capacitor; a lower conductive plug including W, formed through said insulating film and said lower insulating hydrogen diffusion preventive film and electrically connecting said semiconductor element and said conductive adhesion enhancing film; a conductive oxygen barrier film made of TiAlN, and formed between said conductive adhesion enhancing film and said lower electrode; an interlayer insulating film covering said ferro-electric capacitor; and an upper conductive plug formed through said interlayer insulating film and reaching said upper electrode.
