Abstract

Various embodiments of the present application are directed to an IC device and associated forming methods. In some embodiments, a memory region and a logic region are integrated in a substrate. A memory cell structure is disposed on the memory region. A plurality of logic devices disposed on a plurality of logic sub-regions of the logic region. A first logic device is disposed on a first upper surface of a first logic sub-region. A second logic device is disposed on a second upper surface of a second logic sub-region. A third logic device is disposed on a third upper surface of a third logic sub-region. Heights of the first, second, and third upper surfaces of the logic sub-regions monotonically decrease. By arranging logic devices on multiple recessed positions of the substrate, design flexibility is improved and devices with multiple operation voltages are better suited.
