Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a first dielectric layer over the substrate; a memory cell over the substrate in a first region of the semiconductor device, where the memory cell includes a first ferroelectric structure in the first dielectric layer, where the first ferroelectric structure includes a first bottom electrode, a first top electrode, and a first ferroelectric layer in between; and a tunable capacitor over the substrate in a second region of the semiconductor device, where the tunable capacitor includes a second ferroelectric structure, where the second ferroelectric structure includes a second bottom electrode, a second top electrode, and a second ferroelectric layer in between, where at least a portion of the second ferroelectric structure is in the first dielectric layer.
