A semiconductor device is manufactured by forming a hole as being extended through a first insulating film and an insulating interlayer stacked over a semiconductor substrate, allowing side-etching of the inner wall of the hole to proceed specifically in a portion of the insulating interlayer, to thereby form a structure having the first insulating film projected out from the edge towards the center of the hole; forming a lower electrode film as being extended over the top surface, side face and back surface of the first insulating film, and over the inner wall and bottom surface of the hole; filling a protective film in the hole; removing the lower electrode film specifically in portions fallen on the top surface and side face of the first insulating film; removing the protective film; and forming a cylindrical capacitor in the hole.
