A ferroelectric capacitor includes a pair of electrodes, and at least one
ferroelectric held between the pair of electrodes, in which the
ferroelectric includes a first ferroelectric layer having a surface
roughness (RMS) determined with an atomic force microscope of 10 nm or
more; and a second ferroelectric layer being arranged adjacent to the
first ferroelectric layer and having an RMS of 5 nm or less. A process
produces such a ferroelectric capacitor by forming a first ferroelectric
layer on or above one of a pair of electrodes at a temperature equal to
or higher than a crystallization temperature at which the first
ferroelectric layer takes on a ferroelectric crystalline structure, and
forming a second ferroelectric layer on the first ferroelectric layer at
a temperature lower than a crystallization temperature at which the
second ferroelectric layer takes on a ferroelectric crystalline
structure.
