    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate having a memory area and a logic circuit area thereon, a first interlayer dielectric layer on the substrate, and a second interlayer dielectric layer on the substrate. An embedded memory cell structure is disposed within the memory area between the first interlayer dielectric layer and the second interlayer dielectric layer. The second interlayer dielectric layer includes a first portion covering the embedded memory cell structure within the memory area and a second portion covering the logic circuit area. A top surface of the first portion is coplanar with a top surface of the second portion.

    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure is disclosed. A substrate is provided having a memory array area and a peripheral region. A memory structure is formed on the substrate in the memory array area. A step height is formed between the memory array area and the peripheral region. A dielectric layer is deposited. The dielectric layer covers the memory structure. A reverse etching process is performed to remove part of the dielectric layer from the memory array area, thereby forming an upwardly protruding wall structure along the perimeter of the memory array area, wherein the thickness of the dielectric layer in the memory array area increases from the central area of the memory array area to the periphery of the memory array area. A polishing process is performed on the dielectric layer to remove the upwardly protruding wall structure from the memory array area.
