Integration of planar and tri-gate devices on the same substrate

摘要

An apparatus including a first diffusion formed on a substrate, the first diffusion including a pair of channels, each of which separates a source from a drain; a second diffusion formed on the substrate, the second diffusion including a channel that separates a source from a drain; a first gate electrode formed on the substrate, wherein the first gate electrode overlaps one of the pair of channels on the first diffusion to form a pass-gate transistor; and a second gate electrode formed on the substrate, wherein the second gate electrode overlaps one of the pair of channels of the first diffusion to form a pull-down transistor and overlaps the channel of the second diffusion to form a pull-up transistor, and wherein the pass-gate, pull-down and pull-up transistors are of at least two different constructions. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
