A ferroelectric memory cell (FeRAM) is disclosed that includes an active device (e.g., a transistor) and a passive device (e.g., a ferroelectric capacitor) integrated in a substrate. The transistor and its gate contacts are formed on a front side of the substrate. A carrier wafer can be bonded to the active device to allow the active device to be inverted so that the passive device and associated contacts can be electrically coupled from a back side of the substrate.
