It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0033] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a simplified structural diagram of a three-dimensional stacked memory chip provided in the first embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, a three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 is provided. The three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 includes at least two memory dies 1 and a logic die 2 (LOGIC) that are stacked and interconnected. The memory die 1 is a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM).
[0035] At least one memory chip 1 is equipped with a detection circuit 11 to detect the internal operating voltage of its respective memory chip 1, thereby verifying whether the output of each generator inside each memory chip 1 is accurate and whether the power-on is completed normally. A logic chip 2 is stacked with at least two memory chips 1. The memory chip 1 adjacent to the logic chip 2 is defined as the first memory chip (DRAM 1). Along the direction away from the logic chip 2, the other memory chips 1 are sequentially referred to as the second memory chip (DRAM 2), the third memory chip (DRAM 3), ..., the nth memory chip (DRAM n), where n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2.
[0036] The logic die 2 includes a first interface 21. At least one detection circuit 11 in each memory die 1 is connected to the first interface 21 to output the detected internal operating voltage of each memory die 1 through the first interface 21. Since the detection circuit 11 in at least one memory die 1 shares a single first interface 21, the number of first interfaces 21 on the three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 is significantly reduced, effectively reducing the area occupied by the first interfaces 21 on the three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 and lowering the manufacturing cost of the three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10.
[0037] Specifically, each detection circuit 11 is connected to the first interface 21 via an interlayer interconnect structure between two memory dies 1 and / or an interlayer interconnect structure between memory die 1 and logic die 2. The interlayer interconnect structure between the two memory dies 1 includes stacked interconnect vias or a combination of other memory dies 1 and stacked interconnect vias located between the two memory dies 1. The stacked interconnect vias can be through-silicon vias (TSVs). Dies can also be replaced with wafers.
[0038] In the first embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, each memory chip 1 is provided with a detection circuit 11 to detect the internal operating voltage of the corresponding memory chip 1 and output it through the first interface 21.
[0039] exist Figure 1In the embodiment shown, the three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 includes three memory dies 1. The connection between the detection circuit 11 on each memory die 1 and the first interface 21 is as follows: the detection circuit 11 on the third memory die (DRAM3) is connected to the first interface 21 through the stacked interconnection hole between the third memory die (DRAM3) and the second memory die (DRAM2), the stacked interconnection hole between the second memory die (DRAM2) and the first memory die (DRAM1), and the stacked interconnection hole between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the logic die 2. The detection circuit 11 on the second memory die (DRAM2) is connected to the first interface 21 through the stacked interconnection hole between the second memory die (DRAM2) and the first memory die (DRAM1), and the stacked interconnection hole between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the logic die 2. The detection circuit 11 on the first memory die (DRAM1) is connected to the first interface 21 through the stacked interconnection hole between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the logic die 2.
[0040] In combination Figure 1 The above connection method can share the interlayer interconnection structure between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the logic die 2 between each detection circuit 11 and the first interface 21. Further, the connection link between the detection circuit 11 on the third memory die (DRAM3) and the first interface 21 can share the stacked interconnection hole between the second memory die (DRAM2) and the first memory die (DRAM1) and the first memory die (DRAM1) and the logic die 2 with the connection link between the second memory die (DRAM2) and the first interface 21. In this way, compared with the prior art scheme in which each memory die 1 is connected to an interface through a corresponding connection link, the number of channels of the interlayer interconnection structure can be further reduced, and the area occupied by the interlayer interconnection structure on the three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 can be further reduced, thereby further reducing the manufacturing cost of the three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10.
[0041] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 2a , Figure 2a The structure diagram of the three-dimensional stacked memory chip provided in a specific embodiment of the present application; in order to prevent the internal operating voltages detected by each detection circuit 11 from interfering with each other. The three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 further includes a control element 3 connected between the first interface 21 and the detection circuit 11, for outputting the internal operating voltage of the memory die 1 through the first interface 21.
[0042] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 2aAs shown, the control element 3 is disposed on the logic die 2. The detection circuit 11 in each memory die 1 is selectively connected to the first interface 21 through the interlayer interconnection structure between the memory dies 1, the interlayer interconnection structure between the logic die 2 and the memory dies 1, and the control element 3, so as to selectively output the internal operating voltage of the memory die 1 detected by the corresponding detection circuit 11 through the first interface 21.
[0043] As shown, three memory dies 1 are taken as an example. The detection circuit 11 on the first memory die (DRAM1) is connected to the first interface 21 through the interlayer interconnection structure between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the logic die 2, and the control element 3. Figure 2a The detection circuit 11 on the second memory die (DRAM2) is connected to the first interface 21 through the interlayer interconnection structure between the second memory die (DRAM2) and the first memory die (DRAM1), the first memory die (DRAM1), the interlayer interconnection structure between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the logic die 2, and the control element 3. The detection circuit 11 on the third memory die (DRAM3) is connected to the first interface 21 through the interlayer interconnection structure between the third memory die (DRAM3) and the second memory die (DRAM2), the second memory die (DRAM2), the interlayer interconnection structure between the second memory die (DRAM2) and the first memory die (DRAM1), the first memory die (DRAM1), the interlayer interconnection structure between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the logic die 2, and the control element 3.
[0044] The control element 3 can be a multiplexer. When the control element 3 receives a first trigger instruction, the control element 3 connects the detection circuit 11 on the first memory die (DRAM1) to the first interface 21 to output the internal operating voltage of the first memory die (DRAM1), so as to verify whether the output of each generator inside the first memory die (DRAM1) is accurate and whether the power-on is completed normally. When the control element 3 receives a second trigger instruction, the control element 3 connects the detection circuit 11 on the second memory die (DRAM2) to the first interface 21 to output the internal operating voltage of the second memory die (DRAM2), so as to verify whether the output of each generator inside the second memory die (DRAM2) is accurate and whether the power-on is completed normally. When the control element 3 receives a third trigger instruction, the control element 3 connects the detection circuit 11 on the third memory die (DRAM3) to the first interface 21 to output the internal operating voltage of the third memory die (DRAM3), so as to verify whether the output of each generator inside the third memory die (DRAM3) is accurate and whether the power-on is completed normally. Similarly, the above process can be repeated.
[0045] Of course, in other embodiments, see Figure 2b , Figure 2b a structural diagram of a three-dimensional stacked memory chip provided for another embodiment of the present application; unlike the embodiment shown in Figure 2a , the number of control elements 3 can be multiple, and the multiple control elements 3 are connected one-to-one with the multiple memory dies 1 to selectively output the internal operating voltage of the memory die 1 detected by the detection circuit 11 through the first interface 21 after receiving the trigger instruction.
[0046] For example, the control element 3 connected with the first memory die (DRAM1) receives the trigger instruction, and the control element 3 communicates the detection circuit 11 on the first memory die (DRAM1) with the first interface 21 to output the internal operating voltage of the first memory die (DRAM1), so as to verify whether the output of each generator inside the first memory die (DRAM1) is accurate and whether the power-on is completed normally. The control element 3 connected with the second memory die (DRAM2) receives the trigger instruction, and the control element 3 communicates the detection circuit 11 on the second memory die (DRAM2) with the first interface 21 to output the internal operating voltage of the second memory die (DRAM2), so as to verify whether the output of each generator inside the second memory die (DRAM2) is accurate and whether the power-on is completed normally. The control element 3 connected with the third memory die (DRAM3) receives the trigger instruction, and the control element 3 communicates the detection circuit 11 on the third memory die (DRAM3) with the first interface 21 to output the internal operating voltage of the third memory die (DRAM3), so as to verify whether the output of each generator inside the third memory die (DRAM3) is accurate and whether the power-on is completed normally.
[0047] In an embodiment, one detection circuit 11 is communicated with the first interface 21 at a time, that is, one control element 3 is controlled to communicate at a time to output the internal operating voltage of a single memory die 1, so as to avoid the problem of mutual interference between the internal operating voltages of the memory dies 1.
[0048] In yet another embodiment, see Figure 2c , Figure 2c a structural diagram of a three-dimensional stacked memory chip provided for the second embodiment of the present application; in order to prevent the internal operating voltages detected by the detection circuits 11 from interfering with each other, the number of control elements 3 is multiple, and the multiple control elements 3 are arranged on the memory dies 1 one-to-one.
[0049] Specifically, as Figure 2cAs shown, a first control element 12 can be correspondingly arranged in each memory die 1. The detection circuit 11 in each memory die 1 is selectively connected to the first interface 21 through the corresponding first control element 12, the interlayer interconnection structure between the memory dies 1, and the interlayer interconnection structure between the logic die 2 and the memory dies 1, so as to selectively output the internal operating voltage of the memory die 1 detected by the corresponding detection circuit 11 through the first interface 21.
[0050] For example, three memory dies 1 are taken as an example. The detection circuit 11 on the first memory die (DRAM1) is connected to the first interface 21 through the first control element 12 on the first memory die (DRAM1) and the interlayer interconnection structure between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the logic die 2. The detection circuit 11 on the second memory die (DRAM2) is connected to the first interface 21 through the first control element 12 on the second memory die (DRAM2), the interlayer interconnection structure between the second memory die (DRAM2) and the first memory die (DRAM1), the first memory die (DRAM1), and the interlayer interconnection structure between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the logic die 2. The detection circuit 11 on the third memory die (DRAM3) is connected to the first interface 21 through the first control element 12 on the third memory die (DRAM3), the interlayer interconnection structure between the third memory die (DRAM3) and the second memory die (DRAM2), the second memory die (DRAM2), the interlayer interconnection structure between the second memory die (DRAM2) and the first memory die (DRAM1), the first memory die (DRAM1), and the interlayer interconnection structure between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the logic die 2.
[0051] In specific embodiments, the detection circuit 11 on the memory die 1 is connected to the first interface 21 through the first control element 12 to output the internal operating voltage on the corresponding memory die 1. For example, the first control element 12 on the first memory die (DRAM1) receives a trigger instruction, and then the first control element 12 connects the detection circuit 11 on the first memory die (DRAM1) to the first interface 21 to output the internal operating voltage of the first memory die (DRAM1), so as to verify whether the output of each generator inside the first memory die (DRAM1) is accurate and whether the power-on is completed normally. The first control element 12 on the second memory die (DRAM2) receives a trigger instruction, and then the first control element 12 connects the detection circuit 11 on the second memory die (DRAM2) to the first interface 21 to output the internal operating voltage of the second memory die (DRAM2), so as to verify whether the output of each generator inside the second memory die (DRAM2) is accurate and whether the power-on is completed normally.
[0052] In a specific embodiment, each time a detection circuit 11 is connected to the first interface 21, that is, each time the first control element 12 in a storage die 1 is connected to output the internal working voltage of a single storage die 1, thereby avoiding the problem of mutual interference between the internal working voltages of each storage die 1.
[0053] Of course, in other specific embodiments, a first control element 12 may be provided in some storage chips 1, while the other storage chips 1 may not be provided with the first control element 12. This application does not limit this.
[0054] Of course, multiple control elements 3 can also be partially disposed on the memory chip 1, with the remainder disposed on the logic chip 2. For example, the control element 3 connected to the detection circuit 11 connected to the first memory chip (DRAM1) can be disposed on the first memory chip (DRAM1); the control element 3 connected to the detection circuit 11 connected to the second memory chip (DRAM2) can be disposed on the second memory chip (DRAM2); and the control element 3 connected to the detection circuit 11 connected to the third memory chip (DRAM3) can be disposed on the logic chip 2.
[0055] In the second embodiment, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a simplified structural diagram of a three-dimensional stacked memory chip provided in the second embodiment of this application. A detection circuit 11 is provided in one of the plurality of memory chips 1. The other memory chips 1 are connected to the detection circuit 11 through interlayer interconnect structures between the plurality of memory chips 1, so that the detection circuit 11 can detect the internal operating voltage of each of the plurality of memory chips 1. That is, the internal operating voltage of each of the plurality of memory chips 1 is detected by the detection circuit 11 in one memory chip 1. Compared to Figure 1 In the corresponding embodiments, other memory chips 1 do not need to be equipped with detection circuits 11, which can reduce the number of detection circuits 11, thereby saving costs and saving the area required for other memory chips 1 to be equipped with detection circuits 11.
[0056] Specifically, the memory die 1 equipped with the detection circuit 11 can be a memory die 1 adjacent to the logic die 2, i.e., the first memory die (DRAM 1). Compared to a second or third memory die 1, the number of interlayer interconnect structures connecting the first memory die (DRAM 1) to the detection circuit 11 can be reduced, thereby further reducing the area occupied by the interlayer interconnect structure on the three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 and lowering costs. Of course, in other specific embodiments, see... Figure 4 , Figure 4The structure diagram of the three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 provided by the fourth embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 4. The memory die 1 provided with the detection circuit 11 can also be the second memory die (DRAM2) (as shown in FIG. 1) or the third memory die (DRAM3) and the like. Figure 4
[0057] In order to avoid the internal working voltages of the detected memory dies 1 interfering with each other, in a specific embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, the detection circuit 11 is connected to the first interface 21 through the interlayer interconnection structure between the second control element 13 and the memory die 1, and the detection circuit 11 is connected to the first interface 21 through the interlayer interconnection structure between the memory dies 1 and / or the interlayer interconnection structure between the logic die 2 and the memory dies 1. Figure 5 Figure 5 The structure diagram of the three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 provided by the fifth embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 6. The memory die 1 provided with the detection circuit 11 is further provided with a plurality of second control elements 13. The second control element 13 and the first control element 12 can be a control switch.
[0058] In a specific embodiment, the detection circuit 11 is connected to any memory die 1 selectively through the interlayer interconnection structure between the second control element 13 and the memory die 1, and the detection circuit 11 is connected to the first interface 21 through the interlayer interconnection structure between the memory dies 1 and / or the interlayer interconnection structure between the logic die 2 and the memory dies 1, so as to selectively detect the internal working voltage of any memory die 1 by the detection circuit 11 and output through the first interface 21.
[0059] Specifically, the plurality of second control elements 13 are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the plurality of memory dies 1, and one second control element 13 is controlled to be turned on at a time, so as to select the communication between the detection circuit 11 and one memory die 1 at a time, that is, to control the detection circuit 11 to detect the internal working voltage of one memory die 1 at a time, so as to avoid the problem of mutual interference between the internal working voltages of the memory dies 1.
[0060] For example, the three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 includes a logic die 2, a first memory die (DRAM1), a second memory die (DRAM2) and a third memory die (DRAM3) stacked in sequence with the logic die 2. If the detection circuit 11 is specifically arranged on the first memory die (DRAM1), three second control elements 13 are also arranged on the first memory die (DRAM1) correspondingly, and the detection circuit 11 is connected with the first memory die (DRAM1) through the first second control element 13. The detection circuit 11 is connected with the second memory die (DRAM2) through the second second control element 13 and the interlayer interconnection structure between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the second memory die (DRAM2). The detection circuit 11 is connected with the third memory die (DRAM3) through the third second control element 13, the interlayer interconnection structure between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the second memory die (DRAM2), and the interlayer interconnection structure between the second memory die (DRAM2) and the third memory die (DRAM3).
[0061] Of course, if the detection circuit 11 is arranged on the second memory die (DRAM2), three second control elements 13 are arranged on the second memory die (DRAM2) correspondingly. The detection circuit 11 is connected with the first memory die (DRAM1) through the first second control element 13 and the interlayer interconnection structure between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the second memory die (DRAM2). The detection circuit 11 is connected with the second memory die (DRAM2) through the second second control element 13. The detection circuit 11 is connected with the third memory die (DRAM3) through the third second control element 13 and the interlayer interconnection structure between the second memory die (DRAM2) and the third memory die (DRAM3).
[0062] It can be understood that, in the above specific embodiments, the detection circuit 11 is directly connected with the memory die 1 on which it is arranged through the second control element 13, without the interlayer interconnection structure between the memory dies 1. Of course, in specific embodiments, the detection circuit 11 can also be directly connected with the memory die 1 on which it is arranged, i.e., without the second control element 13, which is not limited in the present application.
[0063] In another specific embodiment, in order to avoid mutual interference of internal working voltages of the detected memory dies 1; see Figure 6 , Figure 6This is a simplified structural diagram of a three-dimensional stacked memory chip provided in the sixth embodiment of this application; each memory die 1 is further provided with a corresponding second control element 13. That is, the first memory die (DRAM1) is provided with a corresponding second control element 13.
[0064] In this specific embodiment, each memory chip 1 is selectively connected to the detection circuit 11 through the second control element 13 and the interlayer interconnection structure between the plurality of memory chips 1. The detection circuit 11 is connected to the first interface 21 through the interlayer interconnection structure between the plurality of memory chips 1 and / or the interlayer interconnection structure between the logic chip 2 and the plurality of memory chips 1, so that the internal operating voltage of any plurality of memory chips 1 can be selectively detected by the detection circuit 11 and output through the first interface 21.
[0065] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 includes a logic die 2, and a first memory die (DRAM1), a second memory die (DRAM2), and a third memory die (DRAM3) stacked sequentially on the logic die 2. A second control element 13 is respectively disposed on the first memory die (DRAM1), the second memory die (DRAM2), and the third memory die (DRAM3). If the detection circuit 11 is specifically disposed on the first memory die (DRAM1), then the first memory die (DRAM1) is connected to the detection circuit 11 through the second control element 13 thereon. The second memory die (DRAM2) is connected to the detection circuit 11 through the second control element 13 thereon and the interlayer interconnection structure between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the second memory die (DRAM2). The third memory die (DRAM3) is connected to the detection circuit 11 via the second control element 13, the interlayer interconnect structure between the second memory die (DRAM2) and the third memory die (DRAM3), and the interlayer interconnect structure between the first memory die (DRAM1) and the second memory die (DRAM2). In this embodiment, the detection circuit 11 is specifically connected to the first interface 21 via the interlayer interconnect structure between the logic die 2 and the first memory die (DRAM1), so that the internal operating voltage output of the first memory die (DRAM1), the second memory die (DRAM2), or the third memory die (DRAM3) selectively detected by the detection circuit 11 can be output via the first interface 21.
[0066] Of course, in other specific embodiments, see Figure 7 , Figure 7The structure diagram of the three-dimensional stacked memory chip provided by the seventh embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 7.

[0068] The three-dimensional stacked memory chip 10 provided in the embodiment comprises a plurality of memory dies 1 and a logic die 2 connected with the plurality of memory dies 1. The detection circuit 11 is arranged in at least one of the memory dies 1. The detection circuit 11 arranged in the at least one of the memory dies 1 is connected with the first interface 21 respectively.
