Abstract
A method of making an n-channel metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MISFET) that uses charge trapping for altering channel conductivity characteristics is disclosed. Other suitable and conventional processing steps are used to finalize completion of the fabrication of the charge trapping device so that the entire process is compatible and achieved with CMOS processing techniques, and so that non-charge trapping devices can be formed at the same time in a common sequence of manufacturing operations.
