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.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming an integrated circuit (IC). In some embodiments, a substrate is provided comprising a memory region and a logic region. A sacrificial logic gate electrode is formed within the logic region together with a control gate electrode or a select gate electrode within the memory region by patterning a control gate layer or a select gate layer. A first inter-layer dielectric layer is formed between the sacrificial logic gate electrode and the control gate electrode or the select gate electrode. A hard mask is formed over the first inter-layer dielectric layer to cover the memory region and to expose the sacrificial logic gate electrode within the logic region. The sacrificial logic gate electrode is replaced with a high-k gate dielectric layer and a metal layer to form a metal gate electrode within the logic region.
