Abstract
A method for forming a high voltage and low voltage device is disclosed. According to the process, by the protection of the photoresist, the cap oxide layer on a high voltage device will not be removed in the dry etching process, and with the isolaton of cap oxide layer, the metal layer will not react on high voltage device to produce metal silicide. Accordingly, the high voltage device will not be spoiled by the silicide. The method tolerates normal silicide process, and high current feature of low voltage logic device. In addition, the prior cell library is still suitable for this process.
