Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a metal-ferroelectric-metal-insulator-semiconductor (MFMIS) memory device, as well as a method for forming the MFMIS memory device. According to some embodiments of the MFMIS memory device, a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region are vertically stacked. An internal gate electrode and a semiconductor channel overlie the first source/drain region and underlie the second source/drain region. The semiconductor channel extends from the first source/drain region to the second source/drain region, and the internal gate electrode is electrically floating. A gate dielectric layer is between and borders the internal gate electrode and the semiconductor channel. A control gate electrode is on an opposite side of the internal gate electrode as the semiconductor channel and is uncovered by the second source/drain region. A ferroelectric layer is between and borders the control gate electrode and the internal gate electrode.

Abstract: A layout includes a plurality of cells and at least one dummy gate electrode continuously extends across the cells. Since the dummy gate electrode is electrically conductive, the dummy gate electrode can be utilized for interconnecting the cells. That is, some signals may travel through the dummy gate electrode rather than through a metal one line or a metal two line. Therefore, an amount of metal one lines and/or metal two lines for interconnecting the cells can be reduced.
