Abstract
The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to an integrated chip. The integrated chip includes a first gate structure over a substrate and laterally surrounded by a first sidewall spacer. The first gate structure protrudes outward from a top of the first sidewall spacer. A second gate structure is over the substrate and is laterally surrounded by a second sidewall spacer. The first gate structure has a first height that is larger than a second height of the second gate structure. The first sidewall spacer has a first cross-sectional profile that is a different shape and a different size than a second cross-sectional profile of the second sidewall spacer.
