    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a P-channel native MOS transistor (7) in a circuit integrated on a semiconductor (1) which also includes a matrix of non-volatile memory cells of the floating gate type with two polysilicon levels (5,10) having an interpoly dielectric layer sandwiched between the two polysilicon levels, comprises the following steps:

    masking and defining active areas (2) of the discrete integrated devices;
    masking and defining the first polysilicon level (5) using a Poly1 mask; and
    masking and defining an intermediate dielectric layer (8) using a Matrix mask (9).

    The length of the native threshold channel of the native transistor is defined by means of the Matrix mask (9) and by etching away the interpoly dielectric layer (8). A subsequent step of masking and defining the second polysilicon level (10) provides for the use of a Poly2 mask (12) which extends the active area of the transistor (7) with a greater width than the previous mask (9) in order to enable, by subsequent etching, the two polysilicon levels (5,10) to overlap in self-alignment over the channel region.
