[0059] In order to improve the integration of semiconductor devices, the layout in the embodiments of the present application includes an array pattern and a storage pattern. The substrate array pattern includes a plurality of plug patterns arranged at intervals. The storage pattern includes a magnetic tunnel junction pattern located in the first storage area and a capacitor pattern located in the second storage area. The magnetic tunnel junction pattern and the plug pattern located in the first storage area have a partial overlapping area, and the capacitor pattern and the plug pattern located in the second storage area have a partial overlapping area. By forming the substrate array pattern, the magnetic tunnel junction pattern, and the capacitor pattern in the layout, when subsequent production is carried out using this layout, a magnetic random access memory can be prepared using the manufacturing process of a dynamic random access memory, so that the storage density of the magnetic random access memory is increased, thereby further increasing the integration of the magnetic random access memory and improving the integration of semiconductor devices.
[0060] In order to make the above objects, features, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0061] Reference Figure 1 , the layout has a first storage area 11 and a second storage area 12, and different memory patterns are formed in the first storage area 11 and the second storage area 12. For example, the pattern of a magnetic random access memory is formed in the first storage area 11, and the pattern of a dynamic random access memory is formed in the second area. As Figure 1 shown, the first storage area 11 and the second storage area 12 form a core area 10, and the core area 10 can also be called an array area (Array Area). The core area 10 is used to form the storage units of the memory. The layout also includes a peripheral area (Peripheral Area) 20 that surrounds the core area 10 in a circle, and the peripheral area 20 is used to form the control circuit of the memory.
[0062] Among them, the second storage area 12 at least partially surrounds the first storage area 11. For example, the second storage area 12 completely surrounds the first storage area 11, or the second storage area 12 partially surrounds the first storage area 11. Specifically, one edge of the first storage area 11 partially overlaps with one edge of the second storage area 12. As Figure 1As shown, the left edge of the first storage area 11 partially coincides with the left edge of the second storage area 12. With such a setting, the first storage area 11 can be adjacent to the peripheral area 20, facilitating the connection of the pattern in the first storage area 11 to the peripheral area 20. In addition, three sides of the first storage area 11 are adjacent to the second storage area 12, facilitating the configuration of an insulating pattern between the first storage area 11 and the second storage area 12.
[0063] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the layout includes a substrate array pattern and a storage pattern. The substrate array pattern includes a plurality of plug patterns 115 arranged at intervals, and the plug patterns 115 and the storage pattern have a partially overlapping area to connect the plug patterns 115 and the storage pattern.
[0064] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the storage pattern includes a capacitor pattern 116 and a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) pattern 121. The magnetic tunnel junction pattern 121 is located in the first storage area 11, and the magnetic tunnel junction pattern 121 and the plug pattern 115 located in the first storage area 11 have a partially overlapping area. The capacitor pattern 116 is located in the second storage area 12, and the capacitor pattern 116 and the plug pattern 115 located in the second storage area 12 have a partially overlapping area.
[0065] In a possible example, referring to Figures 4 to 15 , the substrate array pattern includes a substrate pattern, a first data line pattern 114, and a plug pattern 115. Among them, the substrate pattern, the first data line pattern 114, and the plug pattern 115 are located in different pattern layers of the layout, and are subsequently transferred to different photomasks to form photomask patterns, and are respectively used for different patterning steps of manufacturing semiconductor devices to form the required semiconductor devices on the semiconductor substrate.
[0066] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the substrate pattern includes a plurality of active region sub-patterns 111 arranged at intervals, and the active region sub-patterns 111 are used to define the positions of active regions in the semiconductor substrate. The active region sub-patterns 111 extend in the first direction ( Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown in the Z direction) and are arranged in parallel. Adjacent active region sub-patterns 111 are in the second direction ( Figure 4 and Figure 5They are staggered in the second direction (the Y direction shown), and the second direction intersects with the first direction, that is, there is an included angle between the second direction and the first direction. Between each active region sub-pattern 111 is an isolation sub-pattern 112, and the isolation sub-pattern 112 is used to define the position of the shallow trench isolation (STI) in the semiconductor substrate. The active region sub-pattern 111 and the isolation sub-pattern 112 are transferred onto the same photomask together.
[0067] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 , and a plurality of word line patterns 113 arranged at intervals are further disposed in the substrate pattern. The word line patterns 113 and the active region sub-patterns 111 are located in different pattern layers of the layout. The word line patterns 113 are used to define the positions of the word lines in the semiconductor substrate, and the bit lines can be buried word lines. The plurality of word line patterns 113 extend in the third direction ( Figure 6 the X direction shown), and are arranged in parallel in the second direction ( Figure 6 the Y direction shown). Among them, the third direction intersects with the first direction, and the third direction intersects with the second direction. Exemplarily, the second direction and the third direction can be perpendicular to each other, and the first direction has included angles with both the second direction and the third direction.
[0068] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the word line pattern 113 intersects with the active region sub-patterns 111 in the same row and passes through the active region sub-patterns 111. The word line pattern 113 divides the active region sub-patterns 111 into different regions. When the active region sub-patterns 111 and the word line patterns 113 are transferred onto the semiconductor substrate to form the active regions and the word lines, different regions of the active regions are electrically connected to different structures. For example, the active regions are divided by the word lines into regions electrically connected to the bit lines (BL for short), and regions electrically connected to the capacitance. The layer of the word line in contact with the active region is a dielectric layer, and the dielectric layer can be used as the gate oxide layer to ensure insulation between the word line and the active region.
[0069] In some possible embodiments, there are two word line patterns 113 intersecting with the active region sub-patterns 111 in the same row. These two word line patterns 113 divide the active region sub-patterns 111 intersecting with them into a first contact region 1111 in the middle, and second contact regions 1112 on both sides of the first contact region 1111. As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, each active region sub-pattern 111 is divided into a first contact region 1111 and second contact regions 1112 by two word line patterns 113. The second contact regions 1112 are located on both sides of the first contact region 1111, and the shape of the first contact region 1111 can be a parallelogram.
[0070] It should be noted that some of the multiple word line patterns 113 will simultaneously pass through the first storage region 11 and the second storage region 12, while another part of the word line patterns 113 will only pass through the second storage region 12. There is at least one word line pattern 113 that will simultaneously pass through the first storage region 11 and the second storage region 12. In one word line pattern 113, a second insulating pattern is further disposed between the part located in the first storage region 11 and the part located in the second storage region 12.
[0071] Specifically, each word line pattern 113 in the second storage region 12 corresponds to a word line pattern 113 in the first storage region 11. The word line pattern 113 in the second storage region 12 and its corresponding word line pattern 113 in the first storage region 11 are located on the same straight line along the third direction, and an insulating pattern is provided between the word line pattern 113 in the second storage region 12 and its corresponding word line pattern 113 in the first storage region 11.
[0072] With such a setting, when the word line pattern 113 is transferred to the semiconductor substrate to form a word line, the word lines located in the first storage region 11 and the word lines located in the second storage region 12 are insulated from each other. The first storage region 11 and the second storage region 12 can be electrically connected to different control circuits, so that the dynamic random access memory and the magnetic random access memory can be driven separately, improving the flexibility of semiconductor device control. In addition, each word line located in the first storage region 11 and a word line located in the second storage region 12 are located on the same straight line, which is convenient for the fabrication of word lines.
[0073] Reference Figures 8 to 11 , there are multiple first data line patterns 114. The multiple first data line patterns 114 are arranged at intervals and extend along the second direction ( Figure 10 the Y direction shown), the second direction intersects the first direction, and each first data line pattern 114 has a partial overlapping region with the active region sub-pattern 111 located in the same column.
[0074] As Figures 8 to 11 shown, each first data line pattern 114 includes a plurality of conductive column sub-patterns 1141 arranged at intervals, and a plurality of wire sub-patterns 1142 extending along the second direction. The conductive column sub-patterns 1141 and the wire sub-patterns 1142 are located on different pattern layers of the layout.
[0075] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9, the part of the conductive pillar pattern 1141 located in the first storage area 11 is used to define the position of the source line contact on the semiconductor substrate. The part of the conductive pillar pattern 1141 located in the second storage area 12 defines the position of the bit line contact on the semiconductor substrate. Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the part of the conductive wire pattern 1142 located in the first storage area 11 forms a source line pattern, and the source line pattern is used to define the position of the source line on the semiconductor substrate. The part of the conductive wire pattern 1142 located in the second storage area 12 forms a bit line pattern, and the bit line pattern is used to define the position of the bit line on the semiconductor substrate.
[0076] Continue to refer to Figures 8 to 11 , each conductive pillar pattern 1141 has a partial overlap area with an active region sub-pattern 111, and each conductive wire pattern 1142 passes through the conductive pillar patterns 1141 located in the same column. Specifically, a partial area of the first contact area 1111 of the conductive pillar pattern 1141 overlaps with the active region sub-pattern 111. As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the conductive pillar pattern 1141 has a partial overlap area with the middle area (the first contact area 1111) of the active region sub-pattern 111. The two adjacent columns of conductive pillar patterns 1141 are staggered in the second direction.
[0077] Refer to Figures 12 to 15 , the plug pattern 115 is located between two adjacent first data line patterns 114 and has a partial overlap area with the active region sub-pattern 111. Specifically, a partial area of the plug pattern 115 overlaps with the second contact area 1112, that is, the plug pattern 115 has a partial overlap area with the edge area of the active region sub-pattern 111.
[0078] In a possible example, as Figures 12 to 15 shown, the plug pattern 115 includes a first plug sub-pattern 1151 and a second plug sub-pattern 1152, and the first plug sub-pattern 1151 and the second plug sub-pattern 1152 are located in different pattern layers in the layout. The number of the first plug sub-patterns 1151 is multiple, and the multiple first plug sub-patterns 1151 are arranged at intervals. The number of the second plug sub-patterns 1152 is multiple, and the multiple second plug sub-patterns 1152 are arranged at intervals. The multiple second plug sub-patterns 1152 correspond to the multiple first plug sub-patterns 1151 one by one, that is, one first plug sub-pattern 1151 corresponds to one second plug sub-pattern 1152. The corresponding first plug sub-pattern 1151 and the second plug sub-pattern 1152 have a partial overlap area.
[0079] Among them, the first plug pattern 1151 is located between adjacent first data line patterns 114, as Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, the first plug pattern 1151 is also located between adjacent word line patterns 113. The first plug pattern 1151 located in the first storage area 11 is used to define the position where the first electrode contact is made, and the first plug pattern 1151 located in the second storage area 12 is used to define the position of the capacitor contact (Node Contact). As Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, multiple first plug patterns 1151 can be arranged in a matrix array, that is, every four first plug patterns 1151 form a group, and a group of first plug patterns 1151 encloses a virtual rectangle, and each first plug pattern 1151 in a group of first plug patterns 1151 is respectively located at a vertex of the virtual rectangle.
[0080] Referring to Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the second plug pattern 1152 has a partial overlap area with both the first data line pattern 114 and the first plug pattern 1151. Each second plug pattern 1152 can also have a partial overlap area with two adjacent word line patterns 113. For example, as Figure 14 and Figure 15 shown, the upper side area of each second plug pattern 1152 partially overlaps with one word line pattern 113, and the lower side area of each second plug pattern 1152 partially overlaps with another word line pattern 113, and these two word line patterns 113 are adjacent.
