1. A method of forming a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of: forming multiple adjacent channels;
doping each of the multiple adjacent channels with the same conductivity type;
forming a gate electrode on the multiple adjacent channels; and
independently adjusting the threshold voltage for each channel;
wherein the step of forming multiple channels includes forming a first gate dielectric, a first silicon channel on the first gate dielectric, a second gate dielectric on the first silicon channel, a second silicon channel on the second date dielectric, and a third gate dielectric on the second channel.
