Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor MOSFET device manufactured by a process starting with a doped semiconductor substrate with a P-well and an N-well and field oxide structures on the surface of the P-well and the N-well separating the surfaces of the P-well and the N-well into separate regions and a silicon dioxide film on the remainder of the surface of the P-well and the N-well comprising the steps as follows: forming a mask over the N-well and an under sized mask over one of the separate regions of the P-well performing a field ion implantation of V t ' ions into the P-well, removing the mask over the portion of the P-well, performing a blanket ion implantation of V t1 ions over the entire device.
