The present invention discloses a method for forming a dielectric film having improved leakage current characteristics in a capacitor. A lower electrode having a surface and a rounded protruding portion is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The surface and the protruding portion define at least one concave area. A chemisorption layer is then formed on the surface and the rounded protruding portion by supplying a first reactant. Also, a physisorption layer is formed on the chemisorption layer from the first reactant. Next, a portion of the physisorption layer is removed and a portion of the physisorption layer is left on the concave area. Subsequently, the chemisorption layer and the portion of the physisorption layer on the concave area react with a second reactant to form a dielectric film on the surface of the lower electrode. The thickness of said dielectric film is greater on the concave area than on the protruding portion, thereby reducing leakage current.
