Pal, <Sure - it is possible, but very difficult and expensive.
"having a thinner oxide layer than the rest of the chip">
You have told us
many times that the oxide thickness is critical
for reliability and is heavily optimized for
particlular voltage. How come everyone are making
I/O part of chips running at 3.3V while the core
runs at about 2V? Including Intel! Must be
really expensive, right? Only when, back in
years of your outdated experience?

Drop it, go woodworking, Pal.
