The semiconductor device comprises a capacitor formed over a semiconductor
substrate 10 and including a lower electrode 32, a dielectric film 34
formed over the lower electrode and an upper electrode 36 formed over the
dielectric film, a first insulation film 42 formed over the semiconductor
substrate and the capacitor, a first interconnection 48 formed over the
first insulation film and electrically connected to the capacitor, a
first hydrogen diffusion preventive film 50 for preventing the diffusion
of hydrogen formed over the first insulation film, covering the first
interconnection, a second insulation film 58 formed over the first
hydrogen diffusion preventive film and having the surface planarized, a
third insulation film 62 formed over the second insulation film, a second
interconnection 70b formed over the third insulation film, and a second
hydrogen diffusion preventive film 72 for preventing the diffusion of
hydrogen formed on the third insulation film, covering the second
interconnection. Since the second hydrogen diffusion preventive film
positioned above the capacitor is planarized, the dielectric film is
surely prevented from being reduced with hydrogen.
