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 Only when, back in years of your outdated experience?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.
