Abstract

An improved process for fabricating a static RAM cell having a polysilicon load resistance is provided. Following formation of source, gate and drain regions, a planarized dielectric structure is formed over the junction regions, and via openings which expose portions of the source and drain regions are created. The via openings are filled with polysilicon interconnects, appropriately doped for low resistance contacts. Where the contact includes a resistor load, the polysilicon is not doped. Thus, the prior art approach of providing doped and undoped regions along the same polysilicon interconnect is not employed. Rather, the doped and undoped regions are physically separated. Consequently, the minimum length of the poly load is limited only by the ability to form via openings of small dimensions.
