Abstract

A method of forming non-volatile memory (e.g., an EEPROM device) and a CMOS device (e.g., a RAM), on a single die or chip, and a structure formed by the method. In one embodiment, the control gate of the storage transistor as well as the isolation gate of the isolation transistor may be formed during the same manufacturing process step, and thus may be formed of the same gate poly material and may have similar thickness.
