Abstract

A semiconductor device and method of making the same is disclosed having a surface passivation film of a polycrystalline silicon layer containing 2 to 45 atomic percent of oxygen atoms. The polycrystalline silicon layer is locally electrically insulated by oxidizing throughout the thickness of the layer. The local oxidizing treatment causes the polycrystalline or silicon layer to pattern.
