Abstract

A method for fabricating a mixed-mode device. A first gate oxide layer and a second gate oxide layer are formed. The polysilicon layer is used as a mask to pattern the gate oxide layers. Additionally, a top electrode is formed during the first gate oxide layer is patterned. A bottom electrode is formed during the second gate oxide layer is patterned. The first gate oxide layer and the second gate oxide layer are formed by a single oxidation operation, thus thicknesses of the first gate oxide layer and the second oxide layer can be effectively controlled.
