Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are described for integrating high voltage (HV) transistor devices and medium voltage or dual gate oxide (DGO) transistor devices with low voltage (LV) core transistor devices on a single substrate, where each high voltage transistor device (160) includes a metal gate (124), an upper high-k gate dielectric layer (120), a middle gate dielectric layer (114) formed with a relatively lower high-k dual gate oxide layer, and a lower high voltage gate dielectric stack (108, 110) formed with one or more low-k gate oxide layers (22), where each DGO transistor device (161) includes a metal gate (124), an upper high-k gate dielectric layer (120), and a middle gate dielectric layer (114) formed with a relatively lower high-k dual gate oxide layer, and where each core transistor device (162) includes a metal gate (124), an upper high-k gate dielectric layer (120), and a base oxide layer (118) formed with one or more low-k gate oxide layers.
