Abstract:
The method of this invention provides a method for manufacturing a capacitor element composed of films. The films have a precise etched shape without a residue that may be generated as a reaction product in a dry-etching process. In this invention, washing in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, inclining a side of a mask for etching or heating a substrate prevents the reaction product from remaining on the film as a residue. The reaction product can be washed away with water, acid or organic solvent in inert gas. The reaction product can be removed from the side of the mask by sputter-etching with ions for dry-etching. The reaction product can be exhausted without adhering to the mask by heating the substrate at a temperature between 100.degree. C. and 400.degree. C.

A capacitor composed of a capacitor lower electrode, a capacitor insulating film composed of an insulating metal oxide film, and a capacitor upper electrode is formed on the protective insulating film. A first contact plug formed in the protective insulating film provides a direct connection between the capacitor lower electrode and an impurity diffusion layer of the first field-effect transistor. A second contact plug formed in the protective insulating film provides a direct connection between the capacitor upper electrode and an impurity diffusion layer of the second field-effect transistor.
