This invention belongs to semiconductor device manufacturing field and discloses a method for manufacturing a gate-control diode semiconductor storage device. When the floating gate voltage is relatively high, the channel under the floating gate is of n type and a simple gate-control pn junction structure is configured; by controlling effective n-type concentration of the ZnO film through back-gate control, inverting the n-type ZnO into p-type through a floating gate and using NiO as a p-type semiconductor, an n-p-n-p doping structure is formed while the quantity of charges in the floating gate determines the device threshold voltage, thus realizing memory functions. This invention features capacity of manufacturing gate-control diode memory devices able to reduce the chip power consumption through advantages of high driving current and small sub-threshold swing. This invention is applicable to semiconductor devices manufacturing based on flexible substrate and flat panel displays and floating gate memories, etc.
