Abstract
A method is provided for manufacturing a multiple voltage flash memory integrated circuit structure on a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of shallow trench isolations and a floating gate structure. A first dielectric layer is formed and a portion removed to expose regions of the semiconductor substrate for first and second low voltage devices. A second dielectric layer is formed over the first dielectric layer and the semiconductor substrate and a portion removed to expose a region of the semiconductor substrate for the second low voltage device. A third dielectric layer is formed over the second dielectric layer to form: a floating gatedevice including the first, second, and third dielectric layers; a first voltage device including the first, second, and third dielectric layers; a second voltage device including the second and third dielectric layers; and a third voltage device including the third dielectric layer.
