Abstract:
An integrated circuit includes a substrate, a first isolation feature, and a plurality of memory cells. The substrate has a cell region, a peripheral region, and a transition region between the cell region and the peripheral region. A top surface of the cell region is lower than a top surface of the peripheral region, and the substrate includes at least one protrusion portion in the transition region. The first isolation feature is in the transition region and covers the protrusion portion of the substrate. The memory cells are over the cell region of the substrate.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 15 , further comprising forming a second trench in the mask layer, the pad layer, the floating gate film, and a transition region of the substrate, wherein the transition region is between the cell region and the peripheral region.
