p-channel MOSFETs in LPCVD polysilicon have been built. Grain boundary passivation using a plasma of hydrogen has been explored as a means of improving the device performance. Dramatic enhancement of drive current and curtailment of leakage current have been observed. The devices are well suited for application as load elements in CMOS static RAMs.
