Abstract: A process for fabricating semiconductor devices is disclosed which utilizes a selective deposition process to reduce the total number of process steps and especially the total number of photolithography steps required. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention a semiconductor substrate is provided having an insulating layer, a nucleating layer, and a second insulating layer overlaying the substrate. A photoresist mask is used an implant mask and as an etch mask to expose a portion of nucleating layer. A second implant mask is formed by the selective deposition of tungsten or other material on the exposed nucleating layer. The selectively deposited material is then used a mask for a second implantation.
