ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for forming at least two semiconductor devices with different gate electrode thicknesses. After forming a gate dielectric region, and determining whether a first or second device formed on the gate dielectric region expects a relatively faster gate dopant diffusion rate, a gate electrode layer is formed on the gate dielectric region wherein the gate electrode layer has a step-structure in which a portion thereof for the first device has a relatively larger thickness than that for the second device if the first device has a relatively faster gate dopant diffusion rate.
