A ferro-electric memory device includes a gate electrode which is formed on a
semiconductor
substrate, first and second diffusion layers which are formed in the semiconductor
substrate, a first contact which is electrically connected to the first diffusion
layer, a first oxygen barrier film having insulating properties, which is formed
on the first contact, a second contact which is electrically connected to the first
contact, a second oxygen barrier film having insulating properties, which is formed
on the second contact, a ferro-electric capacitor which has a lower electrode,
a ferro-electric film, and an upper electrode, a third contact which is electrically
connected to the upper electrode, a first interconnection which is electrically
connected to the second and third contacts, and a third oxygen barrier film having
insulating properties, which is arranged between the ferro-electric capacitor and
the second contact and brought into contact with the first oxygen barrier film.
