Abstract: A process for forming a DRAM in a silicon chip that includes N-MOSFETs of the memory cells in its central area and C-MOSFETs of the support circuitry in the peripheral area. By the inclusion of a masking oxide layer over the peripheral area during the formation of the memory cells, there are formed N-MOSFETs that use N-doped polycide gates and P-MOSFETs that use P-doped polycide gates. The sources and drains include self-aligned silicide contacts.
