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 12):
The method of  claim 7 , further comprising:\n forming a pad layer over the floating gate film; forming a mask layer over the pad layer; and patterning the mask layer and the pad layer, wherein the floating gate film and the substrate are patterned through the patterned mask layer and the patterned pad layer.
