Abstract: A method includes providing a structure having a substrate, gate stacks and source/drain (S/D) features over the substrate, S/D contacts over the S/D features, one or more dielectric layers over the gate stacks and the S/D contacts, and a via structure penetrating the one or more dielectric layers and electrically connecting to one of the gate stacks and the S/D contacts. The method further includes forming a ferroelectric (FE) stack over the structure, wherein the FE stack includes an FE layer and a top electrode layer over the FE layer, wherein the FE stack directly contacts the via structure; and patterning the FE stack, resulting in a patterned FE stack including a patterned FE feature and a patterned top electrode over the patterned FE feature.
