Abstract: This invention discloses a method of forming a charge-storage electrode of a semiconductor device by forming a platinum film at a side wall and top area of a polysilicon charge-storage electrode, in which the platinum film restrains a leakage current through a high dielectric film at the same time the capacitance can be increased.

Abstract: A method for depositing a passivation layer on a semiconductor structure having a high resistance value polysilicon layer formed thereon while maintaining the high resistance value thereof and comprises sequentially depositing a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer, on a high resistance value polysilicon layer of a partially completed semiconductor structure to form a passivation layer thereover. The passivation layer including the silicon oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer is annealed with oxygen plasma in a chamber. The annealed passivation layer is then heated in the presence of a conditioning gas in the chamber to thereby maintaining the resistance of the high resistance value polysilicon layer.
