  • Patent number: 5576226
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a memory device for improving the reliability of the cell area and the driving capability of the peripheral area is disclosed, wherein the method comprises the steps of forming a cell area and a peripheral area by forming a field oxidation layer over a first conductive semiconductor substrate, forming gate oxidation layers of the different thickness from each other over a surface of the substrate which corresponds to the cell area and the peripheral area through once oxidation process, forming a gate over the gate oxidation layer, and implanting a second conductive impurity ion into the substrate partly covered with the gates as a mask to form highly-doped source/drain areas in the respective cell and peripheral area, thereby forming respective MOS transistors on each of the cell area and the peripheral area.

  • Patent number: 5364807
    Abstract: A method for fabricating an asymmetry HS-GOLD MOSFET by use of a photo etch process in place of a large tilt implantation process, capable of improving a packing density and reducing a junction capacitance of a source region, thereby improving a characteristic of a device to be finally produced. The method includes the steps of forming a gate insulating film and a gate on a p.sup.- type semiconductor substrate, implanting n type impurity ions in the semiconductor substrate so as to symmetrically form n.sup.- type source and drain regions in the semiconductor substrate, forming an insulating film over the entire exposed surface of the resulting structure, subjecting the insulating to an anisotropic etching to form spacers at respective side walls of the gate, implanting n type impurity ions in the semiconductor substrate so as to form n.sup.+ type high concentration source and drain regions respectively adjacent to the n.sup.
