Abstract
A method of forming a memory device (e.g., a DRAM) including array and peripheral circuitry. A plurality of undoped polysilicon gates are formed. These gates are classed into three groups; namely, first conductivity type peripheral gates second conductivity type peripheral gates and array gates The array gates and the first conductivity type peripheral gates are masked such that the second conductivity type peripheral gates remain unmasked. A plurality of second conductivity type peripheral transistors can then be formed by doping each of the second conductivity type peripheral gates while simultaneously doping a first and a second source/drain region adjacent each of the second conductivity type peripheral gates The second conductivity type peripheral gates are then masked such that the first conductivity type peripheral gates remain unmasked. A plurality of first conductivity type peripheral transistors are formed by doping each of the first conductivity type peripheral gates while simultaneously doping a first and a second source/drain region adjacent each of the first conductivity type peripheral gates
