Abstract
Semiconductor devices and memory cells are formed using silicon rich barrier layers to prevent diffusion of dopants from differently doped polysilicon films to overlying conductive layers or to substrates. A polycilicide gate electrode structure may be formed using the silicon rich barrier layers. Methods of forming the semiconductor devices and memory cells are also provided.
