Abstract
Integrated circuits with embedded memory that includes ferroelectric capacitors having first conductor structures coupled to an underlying array of access transistors, and second conductors coupled to independent plate lines that are shunted by a metal strap having a pitch similar to that of the capacitors. The independent plate lines may reduce bit-cell disturbs and/or simplify read/write process while the plate line straps reduce series resistance of the plate lines. The metal straps may be subtractively patterned lines in direct contact with the second capacitor conductors, or may be damascene structures coupled to the second capacitor conductors through vias that also have a pitch similar to that of the capacitors.
