Abstract
A static random access memory manufacturing method. A substrate having a gate oxide layer and a first conducting layer is defined to form a buried contact window opening. A second conducting layer is formed upon the substrate with a recess structure at the region of the buried contact opening. A buried contact window is formed in the substrate under the buried contact window opening. A protective layer is formed upon the substrate and fills the recess. A portion of the protective layer is removed, and a patterned photoresist layer is formed upon the substrate. Using the photoresist as a mask, the first and second conducting layer are etched to form a gate electrode and an interconnect. The patterned photoresist layer is removed. The protective layer can be removed or retained. An implantation procedure is performed, thereby forming a source/drain, thereby connecting the source/drain and the contact window.
