Abstract

Low-resistance diffused regions useful as current-supply paths in IC MOS semiconductor circuits in silicon-gate technology are produced by forming a metal silicide on a doped polysilicon layer positioned on a substrate, applying a SiO.sub.2 layer over the silicide layer, structuring the resultant SiO.sub.2 -silicide-polysilicon triple layer in such a manner that areas of the substrate where the low resistance diffused regions are desired remain covered, thereafter executing gate oxidation and completing fabrication of the desired circuit.
