An interlayer insulating film (22) is formed on a semiconductor substrate.
A conductive plug (25) is embedded in a via hole formed through the
interlayer insulating film. An oxygen barrier conductive film (33) is
formed on the interlayer insulating film and being inclusive of an area
of the conductive plug as viewed in plan. A capacitor (35) laminating a
lower electrode, a dielectric film and an upper electrode in this order
is formed on the oxygen barrier film. An intermediate layer (34) is
disposed at an interface between the oxygen barrier film and the lower
electrode. The intermediate layer is made of alloy which contains at
least one constituent element of the oxygen barrier film and at least one
constituent element of the lower electrode.
