A polysilicon layer is deposited on this Ta 2 O 5 layer. Then, by selective etching using a prescribed pattern of resist film (not shown) as a mask, the formed polysilicon layer, Ta 2 O 5 layer, and barrier metal layer were sequentially etched away, as shown in FIG. , an upper counter electrode layer 8 of polysilicon, a Ta 2 O 5 dielectric layer 7 and

After removing the thin oxide film on the N + region 2 by etching, an aluminum evaporation layer is formed and selectively etched into a predetermined bit line pattern to form the wiring 12.
