Abstract:
A method of forming an integrated circuit device can include forming a plurality of stacked cell gates in a memory cell region of a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of high-voltage transistor gates in a peripheral circuit region of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate including both the plurality of stacked cell gates and the plurality of high-voltage transistor gates is annealed and the annealed semiconductor substrate including both the plurality of stacked cell gates and the plurality of high-voltage transistor gates is plasma oxidized.
