[0031] In addition, in the present embodiment, the first insulating layer 16 is formed on the lower surface of the interlayer insulating film 15, but the first insulating layer 16 may also be integrated by being included in the interlayer insulating film 15. Similarly, in the present embodiment, the second insulating layer 17 is formed on the upper surface of the interlayer insulating film 18, but the second insulating layer 17 may also be integrated by being included in the interlayer insulating film 18.
[0032] Figure 2 It is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the columnar portion of the first embodiment.
[0033] As Figure 2 shown, the memory cell array 11 includes a plurality of word lines WL and a plurality of insulating layers 51 alternately stacked on the interlayer insulating film 15. Each word line WL is, for example, a W (tungsten) layer. Each insulating layer 51 is, for example, a silicon oxide film.
[0034] The columnar portion CL successively includes a blocking insulating film 52, a charge storage layer 53, a tunnel insulating film 54, a channel semiconductor layer 55, and a core insulating film 56. The charge storage layer 53 is, for example, a silicon nitride film, and the blocking insulating film 52 is formed on the sides of the word line WL and the insulating layer 51. The channel semiconductor layer 55 is, for example, a silicon layer, and the tunnel insulating film 54 is formed on the side of the charge storage layer 53. Examples of the blocking insulating film 52, the tunnel insulating film 54, and the core insulating film 56 are a silicon oxide film or a metal insulating film.
[0035] Figure 3 It is a cross-sectional view for explaining one step of the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device of the first embodiment.
[0036] Figure 3 It shows an array wafer W1 including a plurality of array chips 1 and a circuit wafer W2 including a plurality of circuit chips 2. The array wafer W1 is also called a memory wafer, and the circuit wafer W2 is also called a CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) wafer. The array wafer W1 includes a memory cell array 11 formed on a substrate 13 and the like, and the circuit wafer W2 includes transistors 31 formed on a substrate 19 and the like.
[0037] First, the array wafer W1 and the circuit wafer W2 are bonded by mechanical pressure. Thereby, the first insulating layer 16 and the second insulating layer 17 are joined. Next, the array wafer W1 and the circuit wafer W2 are annealed at 400 °C. Thereby, the first metal pad 41 and the second metal pad 37 are joined.
[0038] After that, after thinning the substrates 13 and 19 by CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing), the array wafer W1 and the circuit wafer W2 are cut into a plurality of chips. In this way, the Figure 1 semiconductor device is manufactured. In addition, the insulating layer 14, the insulating film 45, the second plug 46, and the pad 47 are formed, for example, on or in the substrate 13 after the substrate 13 is thinned.
[0039] In addition, in the present embodiment, the array wafer W1 and the circuit wafer W2 are bonded, but the array wafers W1 may be bonded to each other and the circuit chips 2 may be separately provided. Refer to Figures 1 to 3 to the above-described content, or refer to Figures 4 to 10 to the following-described content, which can also be applied to the bonding of the array wafers W1 to each other.
[0040] In addition, the array wafer W1 includes the memory cell array 11 of the three-dimensional memory in the present embodiment, but may include the memory cell array of the two-dimensional memory instead.
[0041] In addition, Figure 1 The interface between the first insulating layer 16 and the second insulating layer 17, or the interface between the first metal pad 41 and the second metal pad 37 is shown, but generally these interfaces cannot be observed after the annealing. However, the positions where these interfaces are located can be estimated by detecting, for example, the inclination of the side surface of the first metal pad 41 or the side surface of the second metal pad 37, or the positional deviation between the side surface of the first metal pad 41 and the second metal pad 37.
[0042] Figure 4 is another cross-sectional view showing the structure of the semiconductor device according to the first embodiment, showing the semiconductor device according to the first embodiment from a Figure 1 different perspective. Figure 1 A set of first plugs 44, insulating film 45, and second plugs 46 provided on the wiring layer 43 is shown. In contrast, Figure 4 Four sets of first plugs 44, insulating film 45, and second plugs 46 provided on the wiring layer 43 are shown.
[0043] Figure 4 Furthermore, the wiring layer 20 formed on the insulating layer 14 is shown. The wiring layer 20 is a metal conductive layer such as an Al (aluminum) layer, for example. The wiring layer 20 includes a wiring (routing wiring) 48 that electrically connects a certain part between the substrate 13 and the substrate 19 to other parts. Figure 4 In, one set of the first and second plugs 44, 46 is electrically connected to one end of the wiring 48, and the other set of the first and second plugs 44, 46 is electrically connected to the other end of the wiring 48. Figure 4 The wiring 48 of is electrically connected to the logic circuit in the circuit chip 2 via these ends.
[0044] The wiring layer 20 of the present embodiment includes not only the wiring 48 but also the pad 47. That is, the pad 47 and the wiring 48 of the present embodiment are formed by the same wiring layer 20. Thus, the pad 47 and the wiring 48 can be formed simply. In the present embodiment, after the array wafer W1 and the circuit wafer W2 are bonded (refer to Figure 3 ), the insulating layer 14 and the wiring layer 20 are sequentially formed on the substrate 13, and the wiring layer 20 is processed by etching to form the pad 47 and the wiring 48 from the wiring layer 20.
[0045] In addition, for ease of understanding the description, Figure 4The step difference between the upper surface of the pad 47 and the upper surface of the wiring 48 is shown, but such a step difference may not be provided. Further, in the present embodiment, the wiring 48 is provided at a position non-contact with the pad 47, but may be provided at a position in contact with the pad 47 as in the embodiments described below. Whether to provide the wiring 48 at a position in contact with the pad 47 is determined according to the use of the wiring 48 such as a signal line (data signal line), a control voltage line, a power supply line, etc.
[0046] Figure 4 Furthermore, a passivation film 49 formed on the wiring layer 20 is shown. The passivation film 49 is an insulating film such as a silicon oxide film, for example. The passivation film 49 covers the upper surface of the wiring 48 and has an opening P that exposes the upper surface of the pad 47. Thereby, the wiring 48 can be protected by the passivation film 49, or a solder ball, a metal bump, a bonding wire, etc. can be connected to the pad 47 within the opening P.
[0047] Figure 4 The pads 47 are arranged on two sets of first and second plugs 44 and 46 and are electrically connected to the logic circuit within the chip 2 via these plug circuits. In addition, details of the shapes of these plugs will be described below.
[0048] Figure 5 It is a top view showing the structure of the semiconductor device of the first embodiment. Figure 4 Indicates along Figure 5 The cross-section of the I-I' line in. For ease of explanation, each component in different XY cross-sections is collectively shown in the Figure 5 Top view. For the detailed positional relationship between the components, please refer to the Figure 4 Cross-sectional view, etc.
[0049] Figure 5 Four planes 61 constituting the memory cell array 11 are shown. The memory cell array 11 includes a plurality of memory cells, and these memory cells operate in each unit called a plane 61. Specifically, the write operation, read operation, and delete operation of the memory cells are performed in each plane 61. Figure 5 Furthermore, eight row decoders 62, four data processing circuits 63, and two control voltage generation circuits 64 provided for these planes 61 are shown. The row decoders 62, data processing circuits 63, and control voltage generation circuits 64 are located near the memory cell array 11 within the array chip 1 or within the logic circuit of the circuit chip 2.
[0050] The row decoder 62 applies a control voltage to control wirings such as the word line WL of the memory cell array 11. Examples of such a control voltage include a write voltage (VPRG), an erase voltage (VERASE), an intermediate voltage (VPASS), a source voltage (VSL), and the like. The control voltage is generated by a control voltage generation circuit 64 and supplied to the row decoder 62.
[0051] The data processing circuit 63 processes an input signal to the semiconductor device or an output signal from the semiconductor device. Examples of such a signal include a data signal (DQ), a chip enable signal (CEn), a read enable signal (REn), a write enable signal (WEn), an address latch enable signal (ALE), an instruction latch enable signal (CLE), and the like.
[0052] And Figure 4 Similarly, Figure 5 FIG. further shows the pads 47 and wirings 48 included in the wiring layer 20. As an example, Figure 5 FIG. shows ten pads 47 and ten wirings 48 denoted by symbols A1 to A8, B1, and B2. The wirings 48 are also appropriately denoted as "wirings A1 to A8, B1, B2". Figure 5 Furthermore, the positions of the second plugs 46 electrically connected to these wirings 48 are schematically shown.
[0053] Symbol Wx represents the width of each pad 47 in the X direction, symbol Wy represents the width of each pad 47 in the Y direction, and symbol W represents the width of each wiring 48. The width W of the wiring 48 in the present embodiment is set to be thinner than the widths Wx and Wy of the pad 47 (W < Wx, W < Wy). In addition, the values of the widths Wx and Wy of each pad 47 may also be different from each other. Similarly, the values of the widths W of each wiring 48 may also be different from each other.
[0054] The wirings A1 to A8 electrically connect one data processing circuit 63 to another data processing circuit 63 for transmitting the input signal or the output signal. These wirings A1 to A8 extend in the Y direction, and the width W of the wirings A1 to A8 corresponds to the length of the wirings A1 to A8 in the X direction.
[0055] The wirings B1 and B2 electrically connect one control voltage generation circuit 64 to two row decoders 62 for supplying the control voltage generated by the control voltage generation circuit 64 to the row decoders 62. These wirings B1 and B2 include a first portion extending in the X direction and a second portion extending in the Y direction. The width W of the wirings B1 and B2 corresponds to the length of the wirings B1 and B2 in the Y direction in the first portion and corresponds to the length of the wirings B1 and B2 in the X direction in the second portion.
[0056] Figure 5These portions of the wirings 48 that are connected to the second plug 46 (the ends of the wirings 48 in the example of the figure) are schematically represented by circles. However, note that these circles are shown for the purpose of facilitating understanding of the position of the second plug 46 and do not represent the shape of the wirings 48. Each wiring 48 is electrically connected via the second plug 46 to a row decoder 62, a data processing circuit 63, a control voltage generation circuit 64, etc. The width W of each wiring 48 in the present embodiment is fixed and unchanged in the portion connected to the second plug 46 and other portions.
[0057] Figure 6 and Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the second plug 46 of the first embodiment.
[0058] Figure 4 Four first plugs 44 are shown, and each of these first plugs 44, as Figure 6 or Figure 7 shown, may also be composed of multiple fine plugs. Figure 6 The first plug 44 provided under the pad 47 and composed of multiple fine plugs V1 is shown. Figure 7 The first plug 44 provided under the wiring 48 and composed of multiple fine plugs V2 is shown.
[0059] According to the present embodiment, by forming each first plug 44 of multiple fine plugs, the resistance can be reduced compared to the case of forming it with one fine plug.
[0060] As Figure 6 shown, the two first plugs 44 under the pad 47 are composed of multiple plugs V1. The two first plugs 44 under the pad 47 are composed of, for example, 100 plugs V1. Additionally, as Figure 7 shown, the two first plugs 44 under the wiring 48 are each composed of multiple plugs V2. The two first plugs 44 under the wiring 48 are each composed of, for example, 50 plugs V2. In this case, in the semiconductor device of the present embodiment, one set of plugs V1 is provided under the pad 47, and two sets of plugs V2 are provided under the wiring 48. One set of plugs V1 includes 100 plugs V1, and one set of plugs V2 includes 50 plugs V2. The reason for the latter number being less than the former number is that the width W of the wiring 48 is thinner than the widths Wx, Wy of the pad 47.
[0061] Furthermore, each second plug 46, similarly to the first plug 44, may also be composed of multiple fine plugs.
[0062] Figure 8 is a circuit diagram showing the configuration of the semiconductor device of the first embodiment.
[0063] Figure 8Shows a plurality of planes 61 constituting the memory cell array 11, and a plurality of row decoders 62, a plurality of SA / DL units 71, a plurality of XDL units 72, and a plurality of YLOG units 73 provided for these planes 61. Figure 8 Furthermore, a series circuit 74, an I / O (Input / Output) circuit 75, a low voltage generation circuit 81, a high voltage generation circuit 82, a row control circuit 83, and a column control circuit 84 are shown. These are located near the memory cell array 11 in the array chip 1 or in the logic circuit in the circuit chip 2. Figure 8 Furthermore, a controller 3 included in the semiconductor device of the present embodiment is shown.
[0064] Each SA / DL unit 71 is a sense amplifier circuit and a data latch circuit that senses data read from the bit line BL of the plane 61. Each XDL unit 72 is a data latch circuit that stores data sent from the SA / DL unit 71 or the I / O circuit 75. Each YLOG unit 73 decodes the column address and selects the latch circuit in the XDL unit 72 based on the decoding result. The series circuit 74 provides a series bus or the like shared by the plurality of planes 61, and the I / O circuit 75 exchanges the input signal or the output signal with the controller 3.
[0065] The low voltage generation circuit 81 and the high voltage generation circuit 82 constitute the control voltage generation circuit 64, and generate a low voltage and a high voltage used as control voltages, respectively. The row control circuit 83 and the column control circuit 84 respectively perform control related to the rows or columns of each plane 61.
[0066] The wirings A1 to A8 (refer to Figure 5 ) of the present embodiment are used, for example, to exchange the input signal or the output signal between the I / O circuit 75 and the XDL unit 72. In addition, the wirings B1, B2 (refer to Figure 5 ) of the present embodiment are used, for example, to supply the control voltage from the low voltage generation circuit 81 or the high voltage generation circuit 82 to the row decoder 62.
[0067] Hereinafter, with reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the semiconductor device of the present embodiment will be described in detail.
[0068] As Figure 4 shown, in the semiconductor device of the present embodiment, a pad 47 is provided at a position higher than the memory cell array 11 or the logic circuit, and a space for arranging structures is reserved near the pad 47. Here, in the present embodiment, a wiring 48 is arranged near the pad 47, and this wiring 48 is used as a signal line or a control voltage line.
[0069] Thus, according to this embodiment, wirings can be efficiently arranged in a semiconductor device as in the following example. For example, by arranging a certain wiring as wiring 48 above the substrate 13 instead of between the substrate 13 and the substrate 19, the congestion of the wirings between the substrate 13 and the substrate 19 can be alleviated. In addition, when the wiring 48 is used as a signal line, since the wiring 48 is located above the substrate 13 where it is not easily affected by noise, the noise of the signal in the signal line can be reduced. In addition, by reducing the number of wirings between the substrate 13 and the substrate 19, the number of wiring layers between the substrate 13 and the substrate 19 can be reduced. As a result, the thickness of the semiconductor device can be thinned, or the operation of the semiconductor device can be speeded up by shortening the length of the wirings. In addition, when the wiring 48 is used as a control voltage line, by making use of the extra space to thicken the wiring 48, the influence of the wiring resistance on the control voltage can be reduced.
[0070] In addition, the wiring 48 of this embodiment is formed by the same wiring layer 20 as the pad 47, but as long as the wiring 48 and the pad 47 are on the same surface (here, on the insulating layer 14), they may also be other wiring layers 20 formed by different processes. However, as described above, if the wiring 48 is also formed as the same wiring layer 20 at the same time during the formation step of the pad 47, for example, the advantage of simplifying the manufacturing steps of the semiconductor device can be obtained.
[0071] As described above, according to this embodiment, by arranging not only the pad 47 but also the wiring 48 above the substrate 13, the wirings can be effectively laid out in the semiconductor device.
[0072] (Second Embodiment)
[0073] Figure 9 It is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the semiconductor device of the second embodiment.
[0074] Figure 9 It shows the same cross-sectional view as Figure 4 However, Figure 4 the wiring 48 is arranged at a position non-contact with the pad 47, whereas Figure 9 the wiring 48 is arranged at a position in contact with the pad 47. The wiring 48 of this embodiment is formed by the same wiring layer 20 as the pad 47 as in the first embodiment, but may also be formed by a wiring layer 20 different from the pad 47. In addition, for easy understanding of the description, Figure 9 a step difference between the upper surface of the pad 47 and the upper surface of the wiring 48 is shown in
[0075] Figure 10 It is a top view showing the structure of the semiconductor device of the second embodiment. Figure 9 It shows alongFigure 10 The cross-section of the J-J' line in Figure 9 However, in Figure 10 for ease of understanding the description, the position of the second plug 46 under the wiring 48 is different from
[0076] Figure 10 and Figure 9 Similarly, the pads 47 and the wiring 48 included in the wiring layer 20 are shown. Figure 10 As an example, ten pads 47 and two wirings 48 indicated by the symbols C1 and C2 are shown. These pads 47 include two power pads 47a and 47b. The wiring 48 is also appropriately denoted as "wiring C1, C2". Figure 10 Furthermore, the positions of the second plugs 46 electrically connected to these wirings 48 are schematically shown.
[0077] The symbol Wx represents the width of each pad 47 in the X direction, the symbol Wy represents the width of each pad 47 in the Y direction, and the symbol W represents the width of each wiring 48. The width W of the wiring 48 in the present embodiment is set to be narrower than the widths Wx and Wy of the pads 47 (W < Wx, W < Wy), similarly to the first embodiment. In addition, the values of the widths Wx and Wy of each pad 47 may also be different from each other. Similarly, the values of the widths W of each wiring 48 may also be different from each other.
[0078] The wiring C1 electrically connects the power pad 47a to the peripheral circuit of the semiconductor device and is used to supply power to the semiconductor device. Similarly, the wiring C2 electrically connects the power pad 47b to the peripheral circuit of the semiconductor device and is used to supply power to the semiconductor device. These wirings C1 and C2 include a first portion extending in the X direction and a second portion extending in the Y direction. The width W of the wirings C1 and C2 corresponds to the length of the wirings C1 and C2 in the Y direction in the first portion and corresponds to the length of the wirings C1 and C2 in the X direction in the second portion.
[0079] Examples of the wirings C1 and C2 are power supply lines for supplying a ground voltage (VSS voltage), or a power supply voltage (VDD voltage), or other power supply voltages (VDDQ voltage). For example, the wiring C1 is a VSS voltage line and the wiring C2 is a VDD voltage line. In this case, the power pad 47a is used to apply the VSS voltage to the semiconductor device, and the power pad 47b is used to apply the VDD voltage to the semiconductor device.
[0080] Figure 10The position of the second plug 46 electrically connected to these wirings 48 is schematically represented by a circle. However, note that these circles are shown for the sake of easily understanding the position of the second plug 46 and do not represent the shape of the second plug 46. Each wiring 48 is electrically connected to a peripheral circuit of the semiconductor device or the like via these second plugs 46. The width W of each wiring 48 in the present embodiment is set to the same value at the portion directly above these second plugs 46 and other portions. In addition, note that in the semiconductor device of the present embodiment, the second plug 46 is also provided under each pad 47 (refer to Figure 9 ).
[0081] According to the present embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, wirings can be efficiently arranged in the semiconductor device. For example, when the wiring 48 is used as a power supply line, by making the wiring 48 thicker by utilizing the surplus of the space, the influence of the wiring resistance on the power supply can be reduced.
[0082] In addition, Figure 5 the arrangement of the wiring 48 shown Figure 10 and the arrangement of the wiring 48 shown can also be applied together to the same semiconductor device. In addition, the semiconductor device of the first embodiment or the second embodiment is a three-dimensional memory manufactured from two wafers (array wafer W1 and circuit wafer W2), but these embodiments can also be applied to a semiconductor device manufactured from one wafer or a semiconductor device other than a three-dimensional memory.
[0083] The above describes several embodiments, but these embodiments are presented only as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The novel devices and methods described in this specification can be implemented in various other ways. In addition, with respect to the embodiments of the devices and methods described in this specification, various omissions, substitutions, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. The scope of the appended claims and the equivalent scope are intended to include such embodiments or variations included in the scope or gist of the invention.
