[0027] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a semiconductor memory device according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.
[0028] The semiconductor memory device of this specific embodiment includes: a first memory chip 101 and a second memory chip 102, wherein the first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102 are stacked and connected.
[0029] The first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102 can be different types of memory chips. In one specific embodiment, the first memory chip 101 is a volatile memory chip, and the second memory chip 102 is a non-volatile memory chip. In this specific embodiment, the first memory chip 101 is a DRAM chip, and the second memory chip 102 is a NAND chip. In other specific embodiments, the first memory chip 101 can also be an SRAM chip, and the second memory chip 102 can also be a non-volatile memory chip such as a PROM or EPROM.
[0030] The first memory chip 101 includes a first memory array, which is a DRAM memory array; the second memory chip 102 includes a second memory array, which is a NAND memory array. The first memory array and the second memory array can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional memory arrays, and the substrates of the first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102 can be polycrystalline silicon or monocrystalline silicon, that is, the first memory array and the second memory array are formed on a polycrystalline silicon or monocrystalline silicon substrate.
[0031] The first memory chip 101 and / or the second memory chip 102 may also have peripheral circuits for controlling the first memory array and controlling the second memory array.
[0032] The first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102 are stacked and connected to each other. The first memory chip 101 includes a front side 1012 and a back side 1011, and the second memory chip 102 includes a front side 1022 and a back side 1021, which are opposite to the front side. The front side refers to the device layer surface of the memory chip, and the back side refers to the other surface opposite to the front side.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 1A In this specific embodiment, the front side 1012 of the first memory chip 101 and the front side 1022 of the second memory chip 102 are stacked and connected opposite each other. In other specific embodiments, the back side 1021 of the second memory chip 102 and the front side 1012 of the first memory chip 101 are stacked and connected opposite each other (see reference).

Figure 1C In other specific embodiments, the back surface 1021 of the second memory chip 102 is stacked and connected opposite to the back surface 1011 of the first memory chip 101 (see reference). Figure 1D ).
[0034] Both the first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102 have interconnect structures such as interconnect lines and interconnect pillars. The first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102 can be electrically connected through the interconnect structures.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1A In this specific embodiment, the front side 1012 of the first memory chip 101 and the front side 1022 of the second memory chip 102 are stacked and connected. The second memory chip 102 and the interconnect structure exposed on the front side of the first memory chip 101 are bonded together with metal, and the dielectric layer on the front side of the second memory chip 102 and the first memory chip 101 are bonded together with adhesive. While realizing the stacking of the first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102, electrical connection is achieved through the metal bonding between the interconnect structures.
[0036] In another specific embodiment, the first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102 may both have passivation layers formed on their front sides.

[0037] In other specific embodiments, the first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102 can also be stacked together using other bonding methods and interconnection structures. Those skilled in the art can make reasonable designs as needed.
[0038] Because the first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102 are stacked together and electrically connected directly through an interconnect structure, the I / O connection length for signal transmission between the two chips can be greatly reduced, significantly reducing the power consumption of the connection circuit and improving transmission efficiency. Furthermore, the stacking of the first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102, compared to placing the two chips separately, can greatly reduce the area of the semiconductor memory device and improve integration.
[0039] Since the first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102 are close to each other, the memory arrays of the first memory chip 101 and the second memory chip 102 can share some circuits, thereby saving circuit area and reducing power consumption.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 In this specific embodiment, since the first memory chip 101 is a DRAM memory chip, and the storage density of the DRAM memory array is relatively low, the first memory chip 101, in addition to the DRAM memory array 201, may also form a DRAM dedicated circuit 202, a NAND dedicated circuit 204, and a common circuit 203. The second memory chip 102 is a NAND memory chip, forming a NAND memory array 205. The DRAM memory array is connected to the DRAM dedicated circuit 202, and the NAND memory array 205 is connected to the NAND dedicated circuit 204.

Figure 4AThe NAND flash memory array 205 of the second memory chip directly transmits data with the DRAM memory array 201 of the first memory chip. When data needs to be read from the NAND flash memory array 205, the data in the NAND flash memory array 205 is first output to the DRAM memory array 201 of the first memory chip, and then the DRAM memory array 201 outputs the data outward, acting as a buffer. The I / O interface can directly control the DRAM memory array through the dedicated DRAM circuit 202; the I / O interface controls the NAND flash memory array 205 through the dedicated DRAM circuit 202, the common circuit 203, and the dedicated NAND circuit 204.

The interface control unit 401 is connected to the I / O interface of the semiconductor memory device. The DRAM memory array 201 and the NAND memory array 205 are connected to the I / O interface through the interface control unit 401. The interface control unit 401 can be part of the shared circuit of the NAND memory array 205 and the DRAM memory array 201, and is used for time-division multiplexing control, data protocol conversion, etc. The interface control unit 401 controls the data input and output between the NAND memory array 205 and the DRAM memory array 201.
[0053] In other specific implementations, appropriate NAND dedicated circuits, DRAM dedicated circuits, and shared circuits can be designed according to requirements to realize various forms of I / O methods.
