[0044] <First Embodiment>

[0045] Figure 1A A partial top view of a semiconductor structure 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1B Draw Figure 1A A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a semiconductor structure 10 is shown.

[0046] Please also refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1B The semiconductor structure 10 includes a complementary metal oxide semiconductor structure (including a source line transistor 200 , a bit line transistor 300 and a ladder decoder 100 ), a memory cell stack 500 and an insulating stack 600 .

[0047] In one embodiment, the CMOS structure is located below the memory cell stack 500. The memory cell stack 500 overlaps a portion of the CMOS structure in the longitudinal direction (eg, Z direction) and is offset from another portion of the CMOS structure.

[0048] In one embodiment, the source line transistor 200 and the bit line transistor 300 are disposed on opposite sides of the memory cell stack 500. In other words, in the longitudinal direction (e.g., the Z direction), the memory cell stack 500 does not overlap the source line transistor 200 and the bit line transistor 300. The source line transistor 200 and the bit line transistor 300 may extend along the X direction. For example, the source line transistor 200 and the bit line transistor 300 may be back-to-back MOSFET transistors, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0049] In one embodiment, the ladder decoder 100 is located below the memory cell stack 500. In other words, in the longitudinal direction (e.g., the Z direction), the ladder decoder 100 at least partially overlaps the memory cell stack 500. Generally speaking, the ladder decoder 100 occupies a larger space than other components in the complementary metal oxide semiconductor structure. Therefore, by arranging the ladder decoder 100 below the memory cell stack 500, it will be beneficial to manufacture a semiconductor structure 10 of small size. In addition, the memory cell stack 500 may include a plurality of array blocks, and the plurality of array blocks may form an array tile, and each array tile may have a ladder decoder 100 arranged below and may independently operate and control each array block. Since each array block is a smaller unit, it has a light resistance and capacitance delay time, so it can be operated at a high speed.

[0050] Compared to the comparative example in which the complementary metal oxide semiconductor structure is located in the peripheral area of ​​the memory cell stack rather than under the memory cell stack, in the semiconductor structure 10 of the present invention, the complementary metal oxide semiconductor structure is arranged under the memory cell stack 500, so it can effectively reduce the size of the memory device, further reduce the manufacturing cost, and thus improve the chip performance.

[0051] In one embodiment, the insulating stack 600 is located above the source line transistor 200 and the bit line transistor 300.

The first column element 910, the second column element 920, the third column element 930 and the fourth column element 940 may include a suitable conductive material, such as tungsten (W).

[0060] In one embodiment, the local bit line 1400 is electrically connected to the bit line transistor 300 through the first pillar element 910, and the bit line transistor 300 is electrically connected to the global bit line 700 through the second pillar element 920.
