![]() |
Abstract of the DisclosureA process for fabricating a double layer polycrystalline silicon structure for a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuit. The upper polycrystalline silicon layer after being etched to forma predetermined pattern is used as a masking member for etching the lower polycrystalline silicon layer, thereby assuring alignment between the layers. A selective etchant which discriminates between the silicon layers is employed |
