Abstract
A very simple process is provided, with reduced processing time, for making a CMOS structure using a single polysilicon, or other refractory metal, layer which includes forming a thin gate oxide on both N and P type semiconductor layers of a common substrate, forming a gate electrode simultaneously on the N type and on the P type layers and selectively implanting an N type impurity to form N+ source and drain regions in the P type layer. The semiconductor layers are then oxidized to form substantially thicker oxide, such a silicon dioxide, adjacent to the sides of the gate electrode over the P type layer than the thickness of the oxide adjacent to the sides of the gate electrode over the N type layer. Without using a mask, a P type impurity is implanted into the N type layer to form P+ source and drain regions.
