Abstract

A method of producing an integrated circuit eliminates the need to re-oxidize polysilicon gate conductors and lines prior to removal of a hard mask used to form the gate conductors. A layer of polysilicon is provided above a semiconductor substrate. The layer of polysilicon is then doped. A mask material comprising amorphous carbon is provided above the layer of polysilicon, and the layer of mask material is patterned to form a mask. A portion of the layer of polysilicon is removed according to the mask, and the mask is removed.
