Method for fabricating a simplified CMOS polysilicon thin film transistor and resulting structure

摘要

A method of forming a MOS device using doped and activated n-type and p-type polysilicon layers wherein a first doped and activated polysilicon layer (either n-type and-p-type) is patterned on a substrate. An isolation material layer is formed abutting the first doped and activated polysilicon layer in the corners formed at the junction between the first doped and activated polysilicon layer and the substrate. A second doped and activated polysilicon layer (either n-type or p-type) is applied over the first doped and activated polysilicon layer and the isolation material layer. The second doped and activated polysilicon layer is planarized to the height of the first doped and activated polysilicon layer. The first and second doped and activated polysilicon layers are etched to substantially bifurcate the first and second doped and activated polysilicon layers. Further processing steps known in the art are utilized to complete the MOS device. The method of the present invention eliminates ion implantation and annealing steps used in present methods.
