Patent ID: 7205594

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a first insulating film being formed over a semiconductor substrate; two or more capacitor lower electrodes being formed over said first insulating film so as to extend in a vertical direction and connecting respective one ends thereof to each other in a horizontal direction via conductive connecting sections having contact regions; a dielectric film being formed in a region between said contact regions and said capacitor lower electrodes over said conductive connecting sections, and formed over said capacitor lower electrodes; capacitor upper electrodes being formed over said dielectric film over said capacitor lower electrodes, and formed in said vertical direction at least in a line; and upper conductive patterns being formed over said dielectric film over the conductive connecting sections, in the same layer as said capacitor upper electrodes, and at an interval from said capacitor upper electrode closest to said conductive connecting sections; wherein said conductive connecting sections are formed in plural numbers on said first insulating film, and two of said conductive connecting sections adjacent to each other in said vertical direction are arranged in opposite directions to each other.
