ABSTRACT:
A MOSFET structure that utilizes self-aligned polysilicon and/or buried diffusion lines for coupling capacitors, provides a threshold voltage V.sub.T that is tunable from the control gate from positive (enhancement) to negative (depletion) by applying V.sub.cc to the bias gate and carefully designing the coupling ratio of the control gate and the bias gate. This scheme provides multiple V.sub.T 's on-chip without process complexity.
