Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for simultaneously manufacturing a poly gate and a polycide gate which requires only one gate oxide layer deposition and one polysilicon layer deposition steps by incorporating a protective layer, primarily an oxide layer, which acts as a mask of a silicide. The present invention not only simplifies the process but also avoids a residual spacer in the gate. The advantages also includes widening the process window, controlling the gate channel and avoiding the gate top loss.
