An upper electrode film includes a first conductive oxidation layer made
of an oxide expressed by a chemical formula M.sub.1O.sub.x2, a second
conductive oxidation layer made of an oxide expressed by a chemical
formula M.sub.2O.sub.y2 and a third conductive oxidation layer. Here, the
second conductive oxidation layer is formed to have a degree of oxidation
higher than the first conductive oxidation layer and the third conductive
oxidation layer, and among the composition parameters x.sub.1, x.sub.2,
y.sub.1, y.sub.2, z.sub.1 and z.sub.2, there are the following relations,
y.sub.2/y.sub.1>x.sub.2/x.sub.1, y.sub.2/y.sub.1>z.sub.2/z.sub.1,
and z.sub.2/z.sub.1.gtoreq.x.sub.2/x.sub.1.
