EMBEDDED SONOS WITH A HIGH-K METAL GATE AND MANUFACTURING METHODS OF THE SAME

摘要

Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacturing the same are provided. The semiconductor devices may have a non-volatile memory (NVM) transistor including a charge-trapping layer and a blocking dielectric, a field-effect transistor (FET) of a first type including a first gate dielectric having a first thickness, a FET of a second type including a second gate dielectric having a second thickness, and a FET of a third type including a third gate dielectric having a third thickness. In some embodiments, the first, second, and third gate dielectric includes a high dielectric constant (high-K) dielectric layer, and the first thickness is greater than the second thickness, the second thickness is greater than the third thickness. Other embodiments are also described.
