However, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0028] The first embodiment of the present invention provides a semiconductor structure. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the semiconductor structure provided in this embodiment.

[0029] refer to Figure 1 The semiconductor structure includes: a word line 100; a first bit line 101 and a second bit line 102 located on both sides of the word line 100; a first memory structure 103; and a second memory structure 104. The first bit line 101 and the second bit line 102 are connected to the first memory structure 103 and the second memory structure 104 respectively via transistors 105. The extension direction of the first bit line 101 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the word line 100.

[0030] The following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 Transistor 105 is a vertical transistor. Word line 100 covers the middle part of transistor 105 and is connected to the channel region of transistor 105 (not shown in the figure), and is used to control the turn-on and turn-off of transistor 105.

[0032] The two ends of transistor 105 are source 107 or drain 108.

[0033] Transistor 105 includes a first transistor and a second transistor. The two ends of the first transistor are connected to the first bit line 101 and the first storage structure 103, respectively. The two ends of the second transistor are connected to the second bit line 102 and the second storage structure 104, respectively.

[0034] In this embodiment, the source 107 of the first transistor is connected to the first storage structure 103, and the drain 108 of the first transistor is connected to the first bit line 101. The source 107 of the second transistor is connected to the second storage structure 104, and the drain 108 of the second transistor is connected to the second bit line 102.

[0035] In other embodiments, the drain of the first transistor may also be connected to the first memory structure, and the source of the first transistor may be connected to the first bit line. The drain of the second transistor may also be connected to the second memory structure, and the source of the second transistor may be connected to the second bit line.

[0036] The first bit line 101 and the second storage structure 104 are located on one side of the transistor 105, and the second bit line 102 and the first storage structure 103 are located on the other side of the transistor 105.

[0037] The first storage structure 103 and the second storage structure 104 are located on both sides of the transistor 105, which can increase the number of storage structures and thus obtain a larger storage capacity.

[0038] In this embodiment, the second bit line 102 and the first memory structure 103 are located on different layers, and the first bit line 101 and the second memory structure 104 are located on different layers; and the second bit line 102 is located on a layer closer to the transistor 105 than the first memory structure 103. The first bit line 101 is located on a layer closer to the transistor 105 than the second memory structure 104. In other embodiments, the second memory structure may be located on a layer closer to the transistor than the first bit line, and the first memory structure may be located on a layer closer to the transistor than the second bit line.

[0039] In this embodiment, the transistor 105 connected to the same word line 100 is connected to one of the first storage structure 103 and the second storage structure 104.

[0040] Specifically, word lines 100, first bit lines 101, second bit lines 102, first memory structures 103, and second memory structures 104 are located in different layers. Multiple word lines 100 are located in the same layer, multiple first bit lines 101 and multiple second memory structures 104 are located on one side of the layer containing word lines 100, and multiple second bit lines 102 and multiple first memory structures 103 are located on the other side of the layer containing word lines 100; furthermore, multiple first bit lines 101, multiple second memory structures 104, multiple second bit lines 102, and multiple first memory structures 103 are all located in the same layer. Multiple transistors 105 are connected to the same word line 100, and the transistors 105 connected to the same word line 100 are connected only to either the first memory structure 103 or only to the second memory structure 104; correspondingly, the transistors 105 connected to the same word line 100 are connected only to either the first bit line 101 or the second bit line 102.

[0041] In this embodiment, the word lines 100 corresponding to the first storage structure 103 and the word lines 100 corresponding to the second storage structure 104 are arranged alternately.

[0042] Specifically, multiple word lines 100 are arranged in parallel at equal intervals on the same layer, with word lines 100 corresponding to the first storage structure 103 and word lines 100 corresponding to the second storage structure 104 alternating. Therefore, the arrangement between the multiple first storage structures 103 and the multiple second storage structures 104 is more compact, resulting in higher space utilization within the memory and a larger storage capacity. In other embodiments, the word lines corresponding to the first and second storage structures may not be alternating; that is, multiple word lines corresponding to the first memory or multiple word lines corresponding to the second memory may be arranged adjacent to each other.

[0043] It is understood that in other embodiments, adjacent transistors connected to the same word line are connected to the first memory structure and the second memory structure respectively, that is, the same word line simultaneously corresponds to the first memory structure and the second memory structure. Accordingly, the same word line simultaneously corresponds to the first bit line and the second bit line.

[0044] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the transistors connected to the first memory structure are arranged alternately with the transistors connected to the second memory structure.

[0045] In this embodiment, the orthographic projections of the first storage structure 103 and the second storage structure 104 on the plane in which the word lines 100 are arranged are intersected or separate from each other, so as to further increase the arrangement density.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first bit line 101 and the second bit line 102 extend in the same direction, and the word line 100 extends at a 90-degree angle to the extension direction of the first bit line 101. The extension direction of the word line 100 also extends at a 90-degree angle to the extension direction of the second bit line 102. Having the first bit line 101 and the second bit line 102 extend in the same direction simplifies the process and reduces manufacturing difficulty. When the angle between the word line 100 and the first bit line 101 is 90 degrees, the overlap area between the word line 100 and the first bit line 101 and the second bit line 102 is reduced, thereby reducing mutual interference between the word line 100 and the first bit line 101 and the second bit line 102. Thus, even with tightly packed internal structures, the memory can still maintain good stability.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first storage node contact 109 and the second bit line 102 are on the same layer, and the second storage node contact 110 and the first bit line 101 are on the same layer. This further maximizes the use of internal memory space and reduces the memory size.

[0058] The material of the first storage node contact 109 is a conductive material, such as polysilicon or silicon germanide.

[0059] The material of the second storage node contact 110 is a conductive material, such as polysilicon or silicon germanide.

Figure 28 ) and word line 205 (reference) Figures 20-21 The first line 219 is formed on the line, and the extension direction of the first line 219 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the character line 205.

[0095] The steps of forming the first bit line 219 include: forming a first insulating layer 218 on the transistor 209 and the word line 205, forming a first trench on the first insulating layer 218, and forming the first bit line 219 in the first trench.

[0096] In this embodiment, the first insulating layer 218 is formed by chemical vapor deposition or physical vapor deposition. Other deposition techniques may also be used in other embodiments.

[0097] A first trench is formed by etching, and material is filled into the first trench to form a first line 219. In this embodiment, the first line 219 is partially located in the first trench and partially above the first trench. In other embodiments, the first line may be completely located within the first trench.

[0098] In this embodiment, the first line 219 and the upper drain 208 of transistor 209 (reference) Figures 22-23 Electrical connection. In other embodiments, the first bit line may also be electrically connected to the source at the top of the transistor.

[0099] A contact hole is formed on the first insulating layer 218, and a second storage node contact 220 is formed within the contact hole. In this embodiment, the second storage node contact 220 is partially located within the contact hole and partially protrudes above the contact hole. In other embodiments, the second storage node contact may also be completely located within the contact hole.

[0100] The second storage node contact 220 is connected to the upper source 207 of transistor 209 (reference). Figures 22-23 Electrical connection. In other embodiments, the second storage node contact may also be electrically connected to the drain of the upper end of the transistor.

[0101] Combination Figure 26 and Figure 27 , Figure 27 for Figure 26 A top view of the semiconductor structure. A second memory structure 221 is formed on the first line 219.

[0102] refer to Figure 28 , Figure 28 This is a semiconductor structure manufactured according to the manufacturing method of this embodiment. The first bit line 219 and the second bit line 203 are connected to the first memory structure 201 and the second memory structure 221 respectively via transistors 209, and the first memory structure 201 and the second memory structure 221 are arranged alternately. This allows for full utilization of the internal space of the memory, increasing storage capacity and thus improving memory performance. Furthermore, the extension direction of the first bit line 219 is the same as the extension direction of the second bit line 203, and the extension direction of the first bit line 219 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the word line 205. This minimizes the overlap area between the word line 205 and the first bit line 219 and the second bit line 203, resulting in minimal interference. Therefore, while increasing storage capacity, the memory also maintains good stability.
