Abstract: A high-voltage transistor includes a well region disposed in a semiconductor substrate, a gate structure disposed above the well region, a gate oxide layer disposed between the gate structure and the well region, a first drift region, and a second drift region. A first portion of the gate oxide layer is thicker than a second portion of the gate oxide layer. A thickness of the second portion is greater than or equal to one eighth of a thickness of the first portion. The first drift region and the second drift region are disposed in the well region, at least partially located at two opposite sides of the gate structure, respectively, and disposed adjacent to the first portion and the second portion, respectively. A conductivity type of the first drift region is identical to that of the second drift region. A level-up shifting circuit includes the high-voltage transistor described above.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) having a SONOS memory device and a logic/analog device requiring different gate oxide layers comprises steps as follows: A substrate having a high voltage region, a memory region and a logic/analog is firstly provided. Next, a first gate oxide layer is formed on the high voltage region, the memory region and the logic/analog. The first gate oxide layer is then patterned to expose the logic/analog region and to define a first channel area and a second channel area respectively on the memory region and the high voltage region. Subsequently, a silicon oxide-silicon nitride-silicon oxide (ONO) structure is formed on the first channel area. A second gate oxide layer is then formed on the logic/analog and patterned to define a third channel area.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device is provided. Recesses are formed in a substrate. A first gate dielectric material is formed on the substrate and filled in the recesses. The first gate dielectric material on the substrate between the recesses is at least partially removed to form a trench. A second gate dielectric material is formed in the trench. A gate conductive layer is formed on the second gate dielectric material. Spacers are formed on sidewalls of the gate conductive layer. A portion of the first gate dielectric material is removed. The remaining first gate dielectric material and the second gate dielectric layer form a gate dielectric layer. The gate dielectric layer includes a body part and a first hump part at a first edge of the body part. The first hump part is thicker than the body part. Doped regions are formed in the substrate beside the spacers.
