Abstract
An integrated circuit device and manufacturing process wherein a first region is formed in a substrate with a dopant that enhances oxide formation and a second region is formed in the substrate with a dose of nitrogen that retards oxide formation. An oxide layer is grown over the first and the second regions and over a third region of the substrate such that the first, second, and third regions yield differing thicknesses of the oxide layer.
