CMOS Fabrication Steps

The CMOS fabrication process begins with a P-type substrate and involves several key steps including the growth of a thin oxide layer, deposition of photoresist, and photolithography for masking and etching. Subsequent steps include N-well formation, gate oxide formation, polysilicon gate deposition, source and drain diffusion, and metallization. The process culminates in a final cross-sectional view showcasing the top metal contact, poly gate, and source/drain regions.
