1. A method of forming a multilayer electrode structure comprising:
forming a conductive layer including aluminum;
forming an oxide layer on the conductive layer, the oxide layer including zirconium oxide or titanium oxide;
re-oxidizing the oxide layer using an oxygen plasma to form an oxygen diffusion barrier layer including aluminum oxide at an interface between the conductive layer and the oxide layer; and
forming a plate electrode on the oxide layer that has been reoxidized, to provide a capacitor.
