Abstract

A method of fabricating a CMOS integrated circuit includes the steps of providing a substrate having a semiconductor surface, forming a gate dielectric layer on the semiconductor surface and a polysilicon layer on the gate dielectric layer. The polysilicon layer is patterned while being undoped to form a plurality of polysilicon comprising gates. A first pattern is used to protect a plurality of PMOS devices and a first n-type implant is performed to dope the gates and source/drain regions for a plurality of NMOS devices. A second pattern is used to protect the PMOS devices and the sources/drains and gates for a portion of the plurality of NMOS devices and a second n-type implant is performed to dope the gates of the other NMOS devices.
