1. A process for fabricating a memory circuit, said circuit comprising high voltage transistors, array transistors and peripheral transistors, said process comprising:

  • a. forming a high voltage transistor in said process comprising the steps of;

    forming a high voltage transistor active region of a first conductivity type on a silicon substrate;

    forming a high voltage transistor gate insulator comprising a first oxide layer on said high voltage transistor active region;

    forming a high voltage transistor control gate above said high voltage transistor gate insulator comprising a first conductive layer;

    forming a first masking member above said high voltage transistor control gate;

    performing a first implant of a second conductivity type, said first implant being aligned with said masking member to form a source, a drain, and a channel region there between;

    forming a second masking member, said second masking member disposed above at least a portion of said first masking member and at least a portion of said drain; and

    ,performing a second implant of said second conductivity type of form a source subregion within said source and a drain subregion within said drain, of dopant than said source and said subregion having a greater concentration being aligned with said high voltage transistor control gate, said drain subregion spaced a distance from being aligned with said high voltage transistor control gate;

    b. forming an array transistor in an array active region formed on said silicon substrate, said array transistor having an array transistor source, an array transistor drain and an array transistor gate; and

    c. forming a peripheral transistor in a peripheral transistor active region formed on said silicon substrate, said peripheral transistor having a peripheral transistor source, a peripheral transistor drain and a peripheral transistor gate;

    wherein said process contemporaneously forms said high voltage transistors, said array transistors, and said peripheral transistors.
