Abstract

A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes: forming a wiring in a first interlayer insulating layer in a first region; etching an surface portion of the first interlayer insulating layer in a second region; forming a plurality of opening portions extended below in the etched region; and forming a lower electrode layer, a dielectric layer, and a common upper electrode in each of the plurality of opening portions to form a plurality of capacitance portions. The step of forming the plurality of capacitance portions, includes: forming the common upper electrode so that an upper surface of the first interlayer insulating layer and an upper surface of the common upper electrode approximately lie in the same plane.
