ABSTRACT:
Various techniques are described which utilize multiple poly-silicon layers in the design and fabrication of various logic elements that are used in semiconductor devices. According to a specific implementation of the present invention, logic gate cell sizes and memory array cell sizes may be reduced by fabricating various transistor gates using multiple poly-silicon layers. The techniques of the present invention of using multiple layers of poly-silicon to form transistor gates of logic elements provides extra degrees of freedom in fine tuning transistor parameters such as, for example, oxide thickness, threshold voltage, maximum allowed gate voltage, etc.
