A system for fabricating a mixed voltage integrated circuit is disclosed in which a gate is provided that contains a gate oxide and a gate conductor on a substrate. A first mask is deposited to pattern the length of the gate by etching, and a second mask pattern is deposited and used to etch the width of the gate, with or without a hard mask.
