Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards an integrated memory chip with an enhanced device-region layout for reduced leakage current and an enlarged word-line etch process window (e.g., enhanced word-line etch resiliency). In some embodiments, the integrated memory chip comprises a substrate, a control gate, a word line, and an isolation structure. The substrate comprises a first source/drain region. The control gate and the word line are on the substrate. The word line is between and borders the first source/drain region and the control gate and is elongated along a length of the word line. The isolation structure extends into the substrate and has a first isolation-structure sidewall. The first isolation-structure sidewall extends laterally along the length of the word line and underlies the word line.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards an integrated memory chip comprising a memory array with a strap-cell architecture that reduces the number of distinct strap-cell types and that reduces strap-line density. In some embodiments, the memory array is limited to three distinct types of strap cells: a source line/erase gate (SLEG) strap cell; a control gate/word line (CGWL) strap cell; and a word-line strap cell. The small number of distinct strap-cell types simplifies design of the memory array and further simplifies design of a corresponding interconnect structure. Further, in some embodiments, the three distinct strap-cell types electrically couple word lines, erase gates, and control gates to corresponding strap lines in different metallization layers of an interconnect structure. By spreading the strap lines amongst different metallization layers, strap-line density is reduced.
