Abstract
The present disclosure relate to semiconductor structure that includes a substrate and a memory array. The memory array is spaced over the substrate and has a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. Further, the memory array comprises a first memory cell and a second memory cell that are adjacent at a common elevation above the substrate. The second memory cell is at an edge of the memory array and separates the first memory cell from the edge, and a top surface of the first memory cell is recessed relative to a top surface of the second memory cell.
