Abstract

An integrated circuit device includes a semiconductor structure, a tunneling layer, a top electrode, a passivation layer, and a conductive feature. The semiconductor structure has a base portion and a protruding portion over a top surface of the base portion. The tunneling layer is over a top surface of the protruding portion of the semiconductor structure. The top electrode is over the tunneling layer. The passivation layer is over a sidewall of the protruding portion of the semiconductor structure. The conductive feature is directly below the protruding portion of the semiconductor structure.
