Claims
- 1. A semiconductor structure comprising:
- an MOS transistor comprising a first region serving as a source, a second region laterally spaced apart from said first region, serving as a drain, a channel located between said source and said drain, and a control gate located above at least a portion of said channel;
- a depletion mode transistor fabricated with the MOS transistor within a single active region, the depletion mode transistor having a width, the transistor comprising a third region serving as a source and connected to said source of said MOS transistor, a fourth region laterally spaced apart from said third region serving as a drain, a channel located between said source and said drain of said depletion mode transistor, and a control gate located above at least a portion of said channel of said depletion mode transistor and connected to said gate of said MOS transistor; and
- an oxide region between the MOS transistor and the depletion mode transistor such that the width of the depletion mode transistor is defined on one side by the oxide region and on the other side by one edge of the active region.
- 2. A semiconductor structure as in claim 1 wherein said first and said third regions abut, and are doped to different dopant concentrations.
- 3. A semiconductor structure as in claim 2 wherein said second and fourth regions abut, and are doped to different dopant concentrations.
- 4. A semiconductor structure as in claim 1 wherein said gates of said MOS transistor and said depletion mode transistor are fabricated as a single electrode.
- 5. A semiconductor structure as in claim 1 wherein said single active region is surrounded by field oxide.
