1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a semiconductor substrate; and
a first capacitor provided above the semiconductor substrate, and including a bottom electrode, a dielectric film formed on the bottom electrode and including a ferroelectric film formed of a metal oxide, and a top electrode formed on the dielectric film and having a rectangular first pattern and a plurality of convex patterns projecting from four sides of the rectangular first pattern,
wherein the dielectric film has convex patterns corresponding to the convex patterns of the top electrode, and the first capacitor is based on interlayer capacitive coupling between the bottom electrode and the top electrode, and
wherein the bottom electrode has a first part which is located directly under the rectangular first pattern and which is not electrically connected to the rectangular first pattern.
