Claims
- 1. a method of fabricating a semiconductor memory device, including: a memory array portion formed on a semiconductor substrate at a first location of one main surface thereof and including a plurality of MIS memory transistors, said MIS memory transistors being respectively formed at first areas of said first location and each having a floating gate electrode and a control gate electrode overlying said floating gate electrode; and a peripheral circuit portion formed at a second location of said semiconductor substrate different from said first location in association with said memory array portion and including a plurality of MIS transistors and wiring lines, said MIS transistors being respectively formed at second areas of said second location and each having a gate electrode, comprising the steps of:
- forming a first insulating film on said semiconductor substrate at said first location and said second location;
- forming a first layer of conductive material on said first insulating film at said first location and said second location;
- patterning said first layer of conductive material on said first insulating film at said second location so as to form at least some of said gate electrodes;
- forming a second insulating film on said first layer of conductive material;
- forming a second layer of conductive material on said second insulating film at said first location and at said second location;
- patterning said second layer of conductive material, said second insulating film, said first layer of conductive material and said first insulating film at said first location using a photoresist film as a mask so as to form said control gate electrode and said floating gate electrode of said memory array portion; and
- patterning said second layer of conductive material at said second location.
- 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said conductive material of said first layer is polycrystalline silicon doped with an impurity and said insulator film on said first layer of conductive material is an oxide of the polycrystalline silicon of said first layer.
- 3. The method according to claim 2, wherein said second layer of conductive material is a polycrystalline silicon layer.
- 4. The method according to claim 3, comprising forming said first and second polycrystalline silicon layers by the chemical vapor deposition method.
- 5. The method according to claim 4, wherein said first and second layers are approximately 3500A thick.
- 6. The method according to claim 5, wherein said first and second layers of conductive material are doped with phosphorous.
- 7. The method according to claim 1, and further including depositing a phosphosilicate glass film over said substrate and patterning said film with contact holes.
- 8. The method according to claim 7, and further including forming a further patterned layer of conductive material over said phosphosilicate glass film and extending through said contact holes to form a further wiring layer.
