Patent ID: 7413913

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of: forming an insulating film above a substrate; forming a pair of electrodes on the insulating film parallel to a main plane of the substrate; and forming a ferroelectric film between the pair of electrodes, wherein the substrate adopts a single-crystalline substrate, the insulating film is formed as a film that takes on an orientation of the single-crystalline substrate, the ferroelectric film is formed as a film that takes on the orientation of the insulating film, and said step of forming the electrodes comprising the steps of: forming an electric conductive film on the insulating film; and patterning the electric conductive film so that a virtual straight line that links between the pair of electrodes and a polarization axis direction of the ferroelectric film are substantially parallel to each other, based in the relation between the orientation of the insulating film and the orientation of the ferroelectric film.
