Abstract

An integrated circuit including a first transistor having a first gate dielectric layer with a first thickness. The integrated circuit also includes a second transistor having a second gate dielectric layer with a second thickness and the second transistor is configured to electrically connect to the first transistor. The integrated circuit also includes a third transistor having a third gate dielectric layer with a third thickness and the third transistor is configured to electrically connect to at least one of the first transistor or the second transistor. The first thickness, the second thickness and the third thickness of the integrated circuit are all different.
