Abstract

A method of forming memory cells, HV devices and logic devices on a substrate, including recessing the upper surface of the memory cell and HV device areas of the substrate, forming a polysilicon layer in the memory cell and HV device areas, forming first trenches through the first polysilicon layer and into the silicon substrate in the memory cell and HV device areas, filling the first trenches with insulation material, forming second trenches into the substrate in the logic device area to form upwardly extending fins, removing portions of the polysilicon layer in the memory cell area to form floating gates, forming erase and word line gates in the memory cell area, HV gates in the HV device area, and dummy gates in the logic device area from a second polysilicon layer, and replacing the dummy gates with metal gates that wrap around the fins.
