         Application No. 10/145,421                                                 

              1.  A method of producing a CMOS integrated circuit                   
         comprising the steps of:                                                   
              providing a semiconductor substrate;                                  
              forming a gate dielectric on an active area on the                    
         substrate;                                                                 
              depositing a polysilicon layer on top of the gate                     
         dielectric;                                                                
              implanting a P-type dopant into the polysilicon layer;                
         patterning an N-doped gate region on said polysilicon layer, the           
         remainder of said polysilicon layer remaining a P-doped region;            
         implanting an N-type dopant into the N-doped gate region;                  
              patterning the gate regions;                                          
              etching the gate regions; and                                         
              then performing a gate anneal.                                        
              2.  The method of claim 1 wherein said step of implanting an          
         N-type dopant also includes implanting a P-type dopant with the            
         resulting doping level being N-type.                                       
              3.  The method of claim 2, further comprising the step of             
         performing an electrical critical dimension test on the gate               
         following gate anneal.                                                     







                                         3
