Abstract
An integrated circuit such as a NAND flash memory includes a dielectric layer overlying transistors (e.g. NAND flash memory cells) that are formed along a surface of a substrate and a hydrogen absorption structure overlying the dielectric layer, the hydrogen absorption structure extending over the transistors, the hydrogen absorption structure being electrically isolated from the transistors.
