Abstract
A phosphorous doped amorphous silicon storage node electrode is treated with heat so as to be converted into a phosphorous doped polysilicon storage electrode, and the heat causes the phosphorous to be diffused into a shallow n-type source region of an n-channel enhancement type switching transistor; to protect the shallow n-type source region from the phosphorous, a phosphorous/oxygen doped amorphous silicon layer is formed between the shallow n-type source region and the phosphorous-doped amorphous silicon storage node electrode, and the oxygen decelerates the phosphorous diffused therethrough, thereby decreasing the amount of phosphorous diffused into the n-type shallow source region.
