A method is provided for manufacturing a capacitor including the steps of forming a lower electrode on a substrate, forming an insulation film formed of a perovskite type metal oxide on the lower electrode, and forming an upper electrode on the insulation film. The step of forming the insulation film includes the steps of coating a dispersion liquid in which fine crystal powder of a second metal oxide of a perovskite type in a liquid containing a precursor compound of a first metal oxide of a perovskite type on the lower electrode, and performing a heat treatment of the dispersion liquid after coating.
