[0060] Reference Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a capacitorless dynamic random access memory (DRAM) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0061] As Figure 1As shown, the gate 110 can be formed on a silicon substrate 120. The silicon substrate 120 is sequentially stacked by a first silicon layer 121, an oxide layer 123 and a second silicon layer 125. The gate 110 is sequentially stacked by a gate insulating layer 111 and a gate conductive layer 113. The source 130 and the drain 140 are formed in the second silicon layer 125 on both sides of the gate 110. The floating channel body 150, which is electrically isolated from the first silicon layer 121, is formed in the second silicon layer 125 between the source 130 and the drain 140. The capacitorless dynamic random access memory stores data values "1" or "0" by accumulating holes or electrons in the floating channel body 150.
[0062] The applicant has found in further research that the footprint of the memory cell in the capacitorless dynamic random access memory described above still has room for reduction.
[0063] Based on this, the example embodiment of the disclosure provides a semiconductor storage device to further reduce the footprint of the memory cell in the capacitorless dynamic random access memory, thereby improving the integration of the semiconductor storage device. Referring to FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the semiconductor storage device can include a nitride layer 210 and a memory combination unit 230 alternately stacked, and at least one pair of vias 250, wherein:
[0064] In actual operation, the bottommost nitride layer 210 can be deposited on a substrate 200, and then the nitride layer 210 and the memory combination unit 230 are alternately deposited on the substrate 200 in sequence. The nitride layer 210 can be deposited by a silicon nitride material, and the substrate 200 can be a silicon substrate, a germanium-silicon substrate, etc.
[0065] In actual application, the number of the nitride layer 210 and the memory combination unit 230 can be determined according to actual needs. When the memory combination unit 230 has only one layer, the nitride layer 210 can have two layers; when the memory combination unit 230 has multiple layers, the nitride layer 210 can be provided with one more layer than the memory combination unit 230. The example embodiment of the disclosure does not specially limit the number of the memory combination unit 230.
[0066] In the example embodiment of the disclosure, the memory combination unit 230 includes a first insulator 231, a floating body 232, a channel region 233 and a gate 234, wherein, along the direction perpendicular to the stacking direction, the first insulator 231 is located at the outermost layer of the memory combination unit 230, the floating body 232 is annular on the inner side of the first insulator 231, the channel region 233 is annular on the inner side of the annular floating body 232, and the gate 234 is formed on the inner side of the annular channel region 233.
[0067] From the perspective of storing data, the floating body 232 is equivalent to a hole storage unit. The floating body 232 is a heavily doped semiconductor structure, for example, a semiconductor silicon doped with a large amount of chromium, antimony, aluminum, gallium or the like to increase the conductivity of the floating body 232. The doping concentration of the floating body 232 is higher than that of the channel region 233, so that the valence band of the floating body 232 is higher than that of the channel region 233, that is, there are more electrons in the floating body 232.
[0068] In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to further increase the number of electrons stored in the floating body 232, quantum dots can also be doped in the floating body 232. Quantum dots are semiconductor nanostructures that confine excitons in three spatial directions. A quantum dot has a small number (1-100) of electrons, holes or electron-hole pairs, that is, the electric charge it carries is an integer multiple of the elementary charge. Therefore, by doping quantum dots in the floating body 232, the number of electrons in the floating body 232 can be increased.
[0069] In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the channel region 233 is obtained by simultaneously doping n-type or p-type ions when depositing the semiconductor material. The doping concentration of the channel region 233 is lower than that of the floating body 232, so that the valence band of the floating body 232 is higher than that of the channel region 233.
[0070] In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the gate 234 can include a gate oxide layer 2341 and a gate conductive layer 2342, wherein the gate oxide layer 2341 is an annular structure formed inside the channel region 233, and the gate conductive layer 2342 is formed inside the annular gate oxide layer 2341.
[0071] The semiconductor storage device provided by the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure further includes at least one pair of through holes 250, which respectively pass through the storage combination unit 230 from different positions, as shown in FIG. 2(b). The purpose is to break the annular floating body 232, channel region 233 and gate 234 in the storage combination unit 230, so that one storage combination unit 230 is divided into two storage units.
[0072] In addition, a source 260 and a drain 270 need to be formed in the pair of through holes 250. The source 260 is filled in one of the through holes 250, and only contacts the channel regions 233 on both sides, and is spaced from the floating body 232 by an insulator. The drain 270 is filled in the other through hole 250, and also only contacts the channel regions 233 on both sides, and is spaced from the floating body 232 by an insulator. In this way, since the floating body does not directly contact the source and the drain, there is no charge leakage, and therefore the data retention time of the floating body is enhanced.
[0073] In order to separate two memory cells formed by one memory combination unit 230, a ring-shaped gate 234 can be formed inside the ring-shaped channel region 233, and a second insulator 235 can be filled inside the ring-shaped gate 234 to avoid the conductive connection between the gates 234 of the two memory cells.
[0074] As can be seen from the above structure, the semiconductor memory device provided by the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure can share one pair of source 260 and drain 270 for two memory cells formed by one memory combination unit 230, thereby reducing the area occupied by the memory cells.
[0075] In addition, a plurality of memory combination units 230 can be stacked in the stacking direction, and the two memory cells formed by the plurality of memory combination units 230 can share the same pair of source 260 and drain 270, thereby further reducing the area occupied by the memory cells.
[0076] Further, a plurality of pairs of vias 250 can be provided in the same memory combination unit 230, so that the ring-shaped floating body 232, the channel region 233 and the gate 234 can be broken into multiple segments, thereby forming more memory cells and improving the integration of the memory cells in the semiconductor memory device.
[0077] It should be noted that in the case of multiple pairs of vias 250, in adjacent vias 250, one via 250 is used to fill the source 260, and the other via 250 needs to fill the drain 270.
[0078] Referring to Figure 3 In practical applications, a plurality of memory combination units 230 can be provided in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction to increase the integration of the memory cells in the semiconductor memory device. Among them, the plurality of memory combination units 230 need to be spaced apart.
[0079] In practical applications, in order to facilitate processing, the thicknesses of the floating body 232, the channel region 233 and the gate 234 are the same in the stacking direction, and the floating body 232 and the gate 234 are located on both sides of the channel region 233 and are separated by the channel region 233. The exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure does not make special limitations on the specific thicknesses of the floating body 232, the channel region 233 and the gate 234.
[0080] The semiconductor memory device provided by the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is formed by alternately stacking a nitride layer and a memory combination unit, and the memory combination unit includes a ring-shaped floating body, a channel region and a gate, and a source and a drain are filled in a pair of through holes which break the ring-shaped floating body, the channel region and the gate. In one aspect, the memory combination unit after being broken can form at least two memory cells, and the two memory cells can share a pair of source and drain, so that the area occupied by the memory cells can be reduced. In another aspect, a plurality of memory combination units can be stacked in the stacking direction, and the two memory cells formed by the plurality of memory combination units can share the same pair of source and drain, so that the area occupied by the memory cells can be further reduced. In still another aspect, a plurality of pairs of through holes can be provided in the same memory combination unit, so that the ring-shaped floating body, the channel region and the gate can be broken into multiple segments, so that more memory cells can be formed, and the integration of the memory cells in the semiconductor memory device can be improved. In still another aspect, since the floating body is provided outside the channel region and does not directly contact the source and the drain, there is no charge leakage, and thus the data retention time of the floating body can be enhanced.
[0081] The manufacturing method of the semiconductor memory device in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0082] It should be understood that the drawings are not drawn according to the actual device structure proportion for the purpose of illustrating the process effect.
[0083] In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the main manufacturing process steps of the semiconductor memory device are as follows:
[0084] Step 10, providing a substrate;
[0085] Step 20, sequentially depositing a nitride layer and an oxide layer on the substrate alternately to form a laminated structure;
[0086] Step 30, etching a first through hole through the laminated structure;
[0087] Step 40, etching part of the oxide layer through the first through hole to form an oxide layer groove;
[0088] Step 50, sequentially depositing a ring-shaped floating body, a channel region and a gate in the oxide layer groove;
[0089] Step 60, etching at least one pair of second through holes through the laminated structure at different positions, and the second through holes break the ring-shaped floating body, the channel region and the gate. (In addition, the plurality of through holes 250 can be arranged on a circle with the first through hole as the center)
[0090] Step 70, filling different materials in the at least one pair of second through holes to form a source and a drain connected to the channel region.
[0091] The following will illustrate the manufacturing process of the semiconductor storage device through a specific implementation method.
[0092] Specifically, the manufacturing process steps of the semiconductor storage device are as follows:
[0093] As shown in FIG. 4(a), a substrate 200 is provided, and a nitride layer 210 and an oxide layer 410 are deposited on the surface of the substrate 200 in turn and alternately, forming a kind of laminated structure. The substrate 200 can be a silicon substrate, a germanium-silicon and a doped silicon substrate, etc. The nitride layer 210 can be deposited by silicon nitride, and the oxide layer 410 can be deposited by silicon oxide.
[0094] In actual application, the cross-sectional shape of the substrate 200 can be circular, rectangular or square, etc., which is not specially limited in the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0095] As shown in FIG. 4(b), a first through hole 420 is etched through the laminated structure, for example, the laminated structure is etched by a patterned etching method. The first through hole 420 needs to at least pass through all the oxide layers 410, and can also pass through the entire laminated structure to leak out the substrate 200. In addition, in order to protect the laminated structure during etching, a polishing layer 430 can also be provided on the top of the laminated structure. The shape of the first through hole 420 is determined by the shape of the patterned mask layer, and the specific shape of the patterned mask layer can be determined according to actual conditions, which will not be described here.
[0096] In addition, it also needs to be explained that the bottom layer and the top layer of the deposited laminated structure need to be the nitride layer 210 to achieve the purpose of protecting the oxide layer 410.
[0097] As shown in FIG. 4(c), according to the etching selectivity of the nitride layer 210 and the oxide layer 410, an etching material is determined, and the etching material is introduced into the first through hole 420 to etch part of the oxide layer 410 through the first through hole 420 to form an oxide layer groove 440. The remaining oxide layer 410 forms a first insulator 231.
[0098] As shown in FIG. 4(d), a floating body material layer is deposited in the oxide layer groove 440 through the first through hole 420, which fills the oxide layer groove 440. The material of the deposited floating body material layer can be a semiconductor material, a metal material, etc. In addition, quantum dots can also be added to the material of the floating body material layer to store more electrons.
[0099] Then, part of the floating body material layer is etched through the first through hole 420 to form a ring-shaped floating body 232 in the oxide layer groove 440. In the process of etching part of the floating body material layer, dry etching process, self-aligned etching process, etc. can be used.
[0100] As shown in Fig. 4(e), through the first via hole 420, a channel region material layer is deposited in the remaining oxide layer recess 440, which fills up the remaining oxide layer recess 440. The material of the channel region material layer can be a semiconductor material, and n-type or p-type ions can be added in situ at the same time when the semiconductor material is deposited, to form a semiconductor conductive channel.
[0101] Next, through the first via hole 420, part of the channel region material layer is etched to form an annular channel region 233 in contact with the floating body 232, which is located inside the floating body 232. In the process of etching part of the channel region material layer, dry etching process, self-aligned etching process, etc. can be used.
[0102] As shown in Fig. 4(f), referring to the process of forming the floating body 232 and the channel region 233, through the first via hole 420, a gate oxide layer 2341 and a gate conductive layer 2342 are deposited in the remaining oxide layer recess 440 to form an annular gate 234 in contact with the channel region 233. The gate conductive layer 2342 can be metal, polysilicon, etc. Fig. 4(g) shows a sectional view of the semiconductor storage device shown in Fig. 4(f) in the direction of B-B. As can be seen from Fig. 4(g), the formed floating body 232, channel region 233 and gate 234 are all annular.
[0103] In addition, it is also necessary to fill an insulating material layer in the first via hole 420 shown in Fig. 4(g) to fill up the first via hole 420 and the remaining oxide layer recess 440.
[0104] As shown in Fig. 4(h), at least one pair of second via holes 450 are etched through the above-mentioned stack structure at different positions, which break the annular floating body 232, channel region 233 and gate 234.
[0105] The process of filling different materials in the at least one pair of second via holes 450 to form the source 260 and drain 270 connected to the channel region 233 will be described in two different ways as follows:
[0106] The first way: as shown in Fig. 4(i), an insulating material is deposited in the second via hole 450, and the insulating material in the second via hole 450 is patterned and etched to form a third via hole 460 exposing the channel region 233. A source material is deposited in the third via hole 460 to form the source 260, and a drain material is deposited in another third via hole 460 to form the drain 270.
[0107] Another way: as shown in Fig. 4(j), based on the etching ratio, the floating body 232 is etched partially through the second via 450 to form a floating body recess 470; insulating material is deposited in the second via 450 and fills the floating body recess 470. The insulating material in the second via 450 is etched, leaving the insulating material in the floating body recess 470; source material is deposited in the second via 450 to form the source 260, and drain material is deposited in another second via 450 to form the drain 270.
[0108] In actual application, as shown in Fig. 4(k), the second via 450 can have multiple pairs, and multiple second vias 450 can be arranged at intervals on a circumference with the first via 420 as the center. Different materials are deposited in adjacent two second vias 450 to form the source 260 and the drain 270.
[0109] For a semiconductor memory device, multiple first vias 420 can be etched through the stack structure to form a structure containing multiple memory cells as shown in Fig. 4(l). Figure 3
