Abstract

A process for fabricating system-on-chip devices which contain embedded DRAM along with other components such as SRAM or logic circuits is disclosed. Local interconnects, via salicides and tungsten are formed subsequent to polysilicon plugs required for the operation of the DRAM and SRAM or logic. Also disclosed are systems-on-chips MIM/MIS capacitive devices produced by the inventive process.
