A MOS transistor having a multilevel gate oxide layer is provided for use in an ESD protection circuit. A thick gate oxide layer near the drain insures that the transistor has a relatively large drain to gate breakdown voltage. A thin gate oxide layer near the source permits the gate voltage to turn the transistor on and off with rapid switching speeds. The thick portion of the MOS transistor multilevel gate oxide layer is formed with a local oxidation of silicon (LOCOS) process, while the thin gate layer is formed in a separate step. An ESD protection circuit and method for fabricating the above-mentioned multilevel gate oxide layer MOS transistor are also provided.

An integrated circuit device of the present invention includes a substrate on which at least two types of nano wire element are provided. These nano wire elements have functions and materials different from each other. The nano wire elements are constituted by nano wires having sizes differing depending on types of nano wire element. With this, it is possible to dramatically improve a function of the integrated circuit device, as compared with an integrated circuit device including a substrate on which one type of nano wire element is provided.

The present invention provides methods and systems for nanowire alignment and deposition. Energizing (e.g., an alternating current electric field) is used to align and associate nanowires with electrodes. By modulating the energizing, the nanowires are coupled to the electrodes such that they remain in place during subsequent wash and drying steps. The invention also provides methods for transferring nanowires from one substrate to another in order to prepare various device substrates. The present invention also provides methods for monitoring and controlling the number of nanowires deposited at a particular electrode pair, as well as methods for manipulating nanowires in solution.
