US 2003/0164527 A1 · Semiconductor device and its manufacturing method

Abstract

Gate electrodes of a TLPM and gate electrodes of planar devices are formed by patterning a same polysilicon layer. Drain electrode(s) and source electrode(s) of the TLPM and drain electrodes and source electrodes of the planar devices are formed by patterning a same metal layer. Therefore, the TLPM and the planar devices can be connected electrically to each other by resulting metal wiring layers and polysilicon layers without the need for performing wire bonding on a printed circuit board.
