Abstract
A process for fabricating a CMOS integrated circuit having both P-channel and N-channel areas in the substrate. The process forms a single self-aligned mask to define the positions of both of the channel areas on the substrate. The process includes: depositing a maskable material on the substrate; photopatterning and etching the maskable material to expose a pattern of areas on the substrate; tailoring the pattern of areas as P-channel or N-channel; depositing a second material over the maskable material and over the tailored areas of the substrate; chemically mechanically polishing (CMP) the second material to an endpoint of the maskable material; selectively etching the maskable material to expose a second pattern of areas on the substrate aligned with the first pattern of areas; and then tailoring the second pattern of areas as P-channel or N-channel.
