Abstract
A CMOS EPROM is made wherein the typical EPROM device is an N-channel IGFET having a control gate self-aligned with an underlying floating gate. In this process the EPROM floating gate and the gates of both the P-channel and N-channel peripheral circuit transistors are formed from a first deposited polysilicon layer. The EPROM control gate is formed from a second deposited polysilicon layer. This CMOS EPROM process employs a surprisingly few photoresist steps and is compatible with a high temperature oxidation step for making a very high quality intergate polysilicon oxide in the EPROM devices.
