Abstract

The present invention pertains to implementing a dual poly process in forming a transistor based memory device. The process allows a first polysilicon layer to be selectively doped subsequent to deposition of the second polysilicon layer. The doping increases the conductivity of the first polysilicon layer which can achieve a more robust charging protection for multi-bit core array and a more uniform distribution of charge.
