A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor substrate, and a
capacitor provided above the semiconductor substrate, and including a
bottom electrode, a top electrode and a dielectric film between the
bottom and top electrodes, the bottom electrode including a conductive
film selected from a noble metal film and a noble metal oxide film, a
metal oxide film having a perovskite structure, provided between the
dielectric film and the conductive film, expressed by ABO.sub.3, and
containing first metal element as B-site element, and a metal film
provided between the conductive film and the metal oxide film, and
containing second metal element which is B-site element of a metal oxide
having a perovskite structure, a decrease of Gibbs free energy when the
second metal element forms oxide being larger than that when the first
metal element forms oxide, a thickness of the metal oxide film being 5 nm
or less.
