Abstract: A conductive film forming a capacitor lower electrode has portions extending perpendicularly to the main surface of a semiconductor substrate and a portion extending in parallel with the main surface of the semiconductor substrate. An insulator film forming a capacitor dielectric film is provided along the surface of a recess portion defined by the conductive film. Another conductive film forming a capacitor upper electrode is embedded in a recess portion of the insulator film. The conductive film and a wiring layer are formed on the same layer, so that the wiring layer functions as a dummy pattern of a capacitor having the conductive films. Consequently, a semiconductor device having a capacitor capable of increasing the electrostatic capacitance and reducing the quantity of the material forming the dummy pattern without occupying a large area in the direction parallel to the main surface of the semiconductor substrate is obtained.
