A semiconductor device is obtained that can prevent occurrence of a shape defect
of a capacitor electrode in the semiconductor device or operation failure of the
semiconductor device. A semiconductor device with the capacitor includes a second
interlayer insulation film, an SC poly plug, a barrier metal and an SN electrode.
The second interlayer insulation film has a through hole. The SC poly plug is formed
within the through hole of the second interlayer insulation film. The barrier metal
is formed on the SC poly plug. The SN electrode is formed on the barrier metal.
The SN electrode is electrically connected to the SC poly plug with the barrier
metal interposed therebetween. The barrier metal is a multilayer film including
three layers of a tantalum nitride (TaN) film, a titanium nitride (TiN) film and
a titanium (Ti) film.
