Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an integrated chip structure. The integrated chip structure includes a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region disposed within a substrate. A select gate is disposed over the substrate between the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region. A ferroelectric random-access memory (FeRAM) device is disposed over the substrate between the select gate and the first source/drain region. A first sidewall spacer, including one or more dielectric materials, is arranged laterally between the select gate and the FeRAM device. An inter-level dielectric (ILD) structure laterally surrounds the FeRAM device and the select gate and vertically overlies a top surface of the first sidewall spacer.
