In some embodiments, the IC comprises a memory region and a logic region integrated into a substrate. A memory cell structure is disposed on the memory region. A plurality of logic devices is disposed on the logic region. A first logic device comprises a first logic gate electrode separated from the substrate by a first logic gate dielectric. The first logic gate dielectric is disposed along surfaces of a logic device trench of the substrate, and the first logic gate electrode is disposed on the first logic gate dielectric within the logic device trench. By arranging the first logic gate electrode within the logic device trench, metal layer loss and the resulted sheet resistance and threshold voltage variations and mismatch issues caused by the subsequent planarization process can be improved.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed to a method of forming an integrated circuit (IC). An isolation structure is formed between a logic region and a memory region of a substrate. A dummy structure is formed on the isolation structure and defines a dummy sidewall of the dummy structure facing the logic region. A boundary sidewall spacer is formed covering the dummy structure and at least partially defines a boundary sidewall of the boundary sidewall spacer facing the logic region. A protecting dielectric layer is formed on a top surface of the boundary sidewall spacer by converting an uppermost portion of the boundary sidewall spacer to the protecting dielectric layer. The protecting dielectric layer is removed, and a logic device structure is formed on the logic region.

Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a transistor device within an active area having a shape configured to reduce a susceptibility of the transistor device to performance degradation (e.g., the kink effect) caused by divots in an adjacent isolation structure. The transistor device has a substrate including interior surfaces defining a trench within an upper surface of the substrate. One or more dielectric materials are arranged within the trench. The one or more dielectric materials define an opening exposing the upper surface of the substrate. The opening has a source opening over a source region within the substrate, a drain opening over a drain region within the substrate, and a channel opening between the source opening and the drain opening. The source opening and the drain opening have widths smaller than the channel opening. A gate structure extends over the opening between the source and drain regions.
