Abstract

The present application provides a memory cell, a memory array and a method for preparing the memory cell. The memory cell includes an active area, an isolation structure and a contact enhancement layer. The active area is a surface portion of a semiconductor substrate. A top surface of the active area has a slop part descending toward an edge of the active area within a peripheral region of the active area. The isolation structure is formed in a trench of the semiconductor substrate laterally surrounding the active area. The contact enhancement layer covers the edge of the active area and in lateral contact with the isolation structure. The slope part of the top surface of the active area is covered by the contact enhancement layer, and the contact enhancement layer is formed of a semiconductor material.
