Abstract
A method to integrate silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon (SONOS) transistors into a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) flow including a triple gate oxide structure. The memory device may include a non-volatile memory (NVM) transistor that has a charge-trapping layer and a blocking dielectric, a first field-effect transistor (FET) including a first gate oxide of a first thickness, a second FET including a second gate oxide of a second thickness, a third FET including a third gate oxide of a third thickness, in which the first thickness is greater than the second thickness and the second thickness is greater than the third thickness.
