Cmos device with dual polycide gates and method of manufacturing the same
Abstract
A CMOS device having dual polycide gates is formed by first providing a silicon substrate, which is divided into a cell area and a peripheral circuit area and has a device isolation layer, a P-well, and a N-well in the peripheral circuit area. The n+ polycide gate at the P-well and the p+ polycide gate at the N-well are formed. An interlayer dielectric layer is formed on the resultant of the silicon substrate having the n+ polycide gate and the p+ polycide gate. A first bit-line contact hole for exposing the n+ polycide gate is formed, and a second bit-line contact hole for exposing the p+ polycide gate is formed. Bit-lines with a bridge structure on the interlayer dielectric layer is formed. The bit-lines simultaneously contact the n+ polycide gate and the p+ polycide gate through the first and second bit-line contact holes.
