Ce procédé consiste à exposer une pellicule d'oxyde thermosensible (6) de 5 nm d'épaisseur, formée sur une plaquette, à du plasma d'azote produit à partir d'un procédé de bombardement électronique à faible vitesse, pendant une heure, afin de nitrurer la pellicule d'oxyde thermosensible (6) et de former une pellicule d'oxynitrure de silicium (7). Le procédé consiste ensuite à déposer une pellicule de platine (8) d'environ 3 nm d'épaisseur sur la pellicule d'oxynitrure de silicium (7), puis à traiter l'ensemble à 300 °C pendant une heure, dans de l'oxygène sec, dans un four électrique, afin de produire une pellicule d'oxynitrure de silicium (9) reformée. Le procédé consiste enfin à retirer la pellicule de platine (8) par gravure, puis à former une électrode grille en aluminium (9) sur la pellicule d'oxynitrure de silicium (9) reformée, afin d'obtenir une diode MNOS présentant de bonnes caractéristiques électriques.
