Abstract
The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to an integrated chip. The integrated chip includes a source/drain region arranged within a substrate. A first select gate is arranged over the substrate, and a first memory gate is arranged over the substrate and separated from the source/drain region by the first select gate. An inter-gate dielectric structure is arranged between the first memory gate and the first select gate. The inter-gate dielectric structure extends under the first memory gate. A height of the inter-gate dielectric structure decreases along a direction extending from the first select gate to the first memory gate.
