  • Patent number: 12432961
    Abstract: The present application discloses an integrated structure of MOS transistors having different working voltages. A second spacer of a second MOS transistor having a middle second working voltage is formed by adding a third sub-spacer on the basis of a first spacer of a first MOS transistor having a relatively low first working voltage, and the first spacer is formed by stacking a first sub-spacer and a second sub-spacer. The thickness of the second spacer is adjusted via the third sub-spacer, so as to ensure that a GIDL leakage of the second MOS transistor under the second working voltage satisfies a requirement.
