HIGH VOLTAGE INTEGRATION FOR HKMG TECHNOLOGY

The present disclosure relates to an integrated circuit (IC) and a method of formation. In some embodiments, a low voltage region and a high voltage region are integrated in a substrate. A low voltage transistor device is disposed in the low voltage region and comprises a low voltage gate electrode and a low voltage gate dielectric separating the low voltage gate electrode from the substrate. A first interlayer dielectric layer is disposed over the substrate surrounding the low voltage gate electrode and the low voltage gate dielectric. A high voltage transistor device is disposed in the high voltage region and comprises a high voltage gate electrode disposed on the first interlayer dielectric layer.
