Method for fabricating a semiconductor device including a capacitance insulating film having a perovskite structure

1. A method for fabricating a semiconductor device including a capacitance insulating film having a perovskite structure represented by a general formula ABO 3 (where each of A and B is a metal element), the method comprising:

a first step of forming a precipitation layer forming film containing the metal element A or B;

a second step of forming a first electrode forming film on the precipitation layer forming film;

a third step of patterning the first electrode forming film to form a first electrode from the first electrode forming film;

a fourth step of annealing the first electrode to form, on a surface of the first electrode, a precipitation layer composed of the precipitated metal element A or B composing the precipitation layer forming film;

a fifth step of forming, by chemical vapor deposition, the capacitance insulating film such that the first electrode including the precipitation layer is covered therewith; and

a sixth step of forming a second electrode forming film such that the capacitance insulating film is covered therewith,

wherein at the initial stage of the fifth step, the capacitance insulting film is formed such that a supply amount of a raw material of the capacitance insulating film is smaller than that supplied at other stages of the fifth step, and

wherein the raw material contains the same metal element as that contained in the precipitation layer forming film.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the precipitation layer forming film has a thickness not less than about 1 nm and not more than about 100 nm.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, between the first and second steps, the step of: partly oxidizing or nitriding the deposited precipitation layer forming film.
