A memory system that includes a DRAM cell that includes an access transistor and a storage capacitor. The storage capacitor is fabricated by forming a polysilicon crown electrode, a dielectric layer overlying the polysilicon crown, and a polysilicon plate electrode overlying the dielectric layer. A first set of thermal cycles are performed during the formation of the storage capacitor to form and anneal the elements of the capacitor structure. Subsequently, shallow P+ and/or N+ regions are formed by ion implantation, and metal salicide is formed. As a result, the relatively high first set of thermal cycles required to form the capacitor structure does not adversely affect the shallow P+ and N+ regions or the metal salicide. A second set of thermal cycles, which are comparable to or less than the first set of thermal cycles, are performed during the formation of the shallow regions and the metal salicide.
