    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed to a method for forming an embedded memory boundary structure with a boundary sidewall spacer. In some embodiments, an isolation structure is formed in a semiconductor substrate to separate a memory region from a logic region. A multilayer film is formed covering the semiconductor substrate. A memory structure is formed on the memory region from the multilayer film. An etch is performed into the multilayer film to remove the multilayer film from the logic region, such that the multilayer film at least partially defines a dummy sidewall on the isolation structure. A spacer layer is formed covering the memory structure, the isolation structure, and the logic region, and further lining the dummy sidewall. An etch is performed into the spacer layer to form a spacer on dummy sidewall from the spacer layer. A logic device structure is formed on the logic region.

    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a memory device comprising a charge-trapping layer disposed between a control gate and a select gate. A capping structure is disposed over an upper surface of the control gate, and a composite spacer is disposed on a source-facing sidewall surface of the control gate. The capping structure and the composite spacer prevent damage to the control gate during one more etch processes used for contact formation to the memory device. To further limit or prevent the select gate sidewall etching, some embodiments provide for an additional liner oxide layer disposed along the drain-facing sidewall surface of the select gate. The liner oxide layer is configured as an etch stop layer to prevent etching of the select gate during the one or more etch processes. As a result, the one or more etch processes leave the control gate and select gate substantially intact.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell having a bottom electrode that provides for low leakage currents within the RRAM cell without using insulating sidewall spacers, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the RRAM cell has a bottom electrode disposed over a lower metal interconnect layer surrounded by a lower inter-level dielectric (ILD) layer. A bottom dielectric layer is disposed over the lower metal interconnect layer and/or the lower ILD layer. A dielectric data storage layer having a variable resistance is located above the bottom dielectric layer and the bottom electrode, and a top electrode is disposed over the dielectric data storage layer. Placement of the dielectric data storage layer onto the bottom dielectric layer increases a leakage path distance between the bottom and top electrodes, and thereby provides for low leakage current for the RRAM cell.
