    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit device. In the method, a plurality of contacts are formed over a substrate, and one or more bottom electrode layers are formed over the plurality of contacts. A first dielectric layer is formed such that a first base region of the first dielectric layer is in contact with the one or more bottom electrode layers and a second base region of the first dielectric layer is not in contact with the one or more bottom electrode layers. One or more top electrode layers are formed over the first dielectric layer. Patterning is then performed by etching through the one or more top electrode layers and by etching through the first dielectric layer to form a metal-insulator-metal structure. The patterning removes a portion of the second base region, but does not remove the first base region.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell or a MIM capacitor cell having a dielectric layer, a top conductive layer, and a bottom conductive layer. The dielectric layer includes a peripheral region adjacent an edge of the dielectric layer and a central region surrounded by the peripheral region. The top conductive layer abuts and is above dielectric layer. The bottom conductive layer abuts and is below the dielectric layer in the central region, but does not abut the dielectric layer the peripheral region of the cell. Abutment can be prevented by either an additional dielectric layer between the bottom conductive layer and the dielectric layer that is exclusively in the peripheral region or by cutting of the bottom electrode layer short of the peripheral region. Damage or contamination at the edge of the dielectric layer does not result in leakage currents.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a split gate flash memory cell is provided. A select gate is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A sacrificial spacer is formed laterally adjacent to the select gate and on a first side of the select gate. A charge trapping layer is formed lining upper surfaces of the select gate and the sacrificial spacer, and further lining a sidewall surface of the select gate on a second side of the select gate that is opposite the first side of the select gate. A memory gate is formed over the charge trapping layer and on the second side of the select gate. The sacrificial spacer is removed. The resulting semiconductor structure is also provided.
