Abstract
A storage capacitor incorporate in a semiconductor dynamic random access memory cell has an accumulating electrode of p-type polysilicon electricaly conencted to an n-type drain region of an associated switching transistor, a dielectric film structure covering the accumulating electrode and a counter electrode opposed through the dielectric film structure and formed of a p-type polysilicon, and the dielectric film structure is thinner than a critical thickness for a direct tunneling current by virtue of the wide potential barrier between the dielectric film structure and the p-type polysilicon and the Fermi level of the p-type polysilicon falling into the forbidden band of the other p-type polyslicon.
