Abstract
The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a MOS transistor of an embedded memory on the surface of semiconductor wafer. The method of present invention is first to define a memory array area and a periphery circuit region on the surface of the semiconductor wafer and to depose a dielectric layer, a undoped polysilicon layer, a silicide layer, a doped polysilicon layer, a protection layer and a photoresist layer sequentially. Next, a plurality of gate patterns on the memory array area is defined and the protection layer is etched to the surface of the doped polysilicon layer. Then a plurality of gate patterns on the periphery circuit region is defined in and the doped polysilicon layer, the silicide layer and the undoped polysilicon layer are etched to the surface of the dielectric layer so as to form gates of each MOS transistors in the memory array area and periphery circuit region. Finally a spacer and source and drain region are formed around each gate.
