A process for forming both low voltage CMOS transistors and high voltage CMOS transistors on a common integrated circuit chip uses a common implantation and drive-in step to form both the n-type well of each PMOS transistor and the n-type drain extension well of each lightly doped drain (LDD) NMOS transistor and a separate implant and drive-in to form the p-type drain extension well of each LDD PMOS transistor.

Process for forming high and low voltage CMOS transistors on a single

A process is used to form in a common substrate a PMOS transistor of the lightly doped drain (LDD) type, an NMOS transistor of the LDD type and a vertical n-p-n bipolar transistor. In particular: the steps used to form an n-type well for the PMOS transistor, and an n-type drain extension well for the NMOS transistor, are also used to form the n-type collector of the bipolar transistor; the steps used to form the p-type extension well for the PMOS transistor are also used to form the p-type base of the bipolar transistor, the source/drain implantation step for the NMOS transistor is also used to form the emitter and a contact region for the collector of the bipolar transistor; and the source/drain implantation step for the PMOS transistor is used to form a contact region for the base of the bipolar transistor.
