Abstract

After the formation of a gate oxide layer, a polysilicon layer is formed right away. The polysilicon layer is used for patterning the gate oxide layer. The photolithography and etching processes of forming the buried contact window are combined with the step of removing the gate oxide layer at the periphery circuit region. Then, after the formation of the gate oxide layer at the memory cell region, one thermal oxidation process is performed to form the gate oxide layer at the periphery circuit region.
