Integrated circuits with memory cells and methods for producing the same

Abstract

Integrated circuits and methods of producing the same are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a source, a drain, and a channel defined between the source and drain. A memory cell overlies the channel, where the memory cell includes a floating gate and a control gate overlying the floating gate. A block overlies a portion of the drain referred to as a blocked drain region, where the blocked drain region is adjacent to the channel. A drain silicide overlies the drain and terminates at the blocked drain region such that the blocked drain region is between the drain silicide and the channel.
