Abstract

A ferroelectric capacitor provided with a ferroelectric film ( 10 a ) is formed above a semiconductor substrate, and thereafter a wiring ( 17 ) directly connected to electrodes ( 9 a , 11 a ) of a ferroelectric capacitor is formed. Then, a silicon oxide film ( 18 ) covering the wiring ( 17 ) is formed. As the silicon oxide film ( 18 ), a film which has processability higher than that of an aluminum oxide film is formed. Besides, a degree of damage that occurs in the ferroelectric capacitor when the insulating film is formed is equal to or less than that when an aluminum oxide film is formed.
