Abstract
A method of fabricating the SRAM cell is disclosed. The method includes forming a gate on a substrate, forming an oxidation barrier film on side portions of the gate, oxidizing the resultant structure by using an oxidation process to form an oxide film on a top surface of the gate, implanting high density impurity ions to the substrate to form a lightly doped region and a highly doped region in the substrate at side portions of the gate, forming an insulating layer over the substrate to define a contact hole that exposes portions of the gate and the highly doped region, and forming an interconnect in the contact hole to connect the gate and the highly doped region.

A semiconductor memory device comprising:
- a gate including a doped polysilicon layer on a substrate and an undoped polysilicon layer on the doped polysilicon layer;
- an oxidation barrier film on side portions of the gate;
- an oxide film formed on a top surface of the gate by oxidizing the undoped polysilicon layer;
- a lightly doped region and a highly doped region in the substrate at side portions of the gate;
