Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to, but is not limited to, a readout circuit architecture and a sensing amplifier circuit. Background Technology

[0002] Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is a commonly used semiconductor memory device in computers, consisting of many repeating memory cells. Each memory cell typically includes a capacitor and a transistor. The gate of the transistor is connected to the word line, the drain is connected to the bit line, and the source is connected to the capacitor. The voltage signal on the word line can control the transistor to turn on or off, thereby reading data information stored in the capacitor through the bit line, or writing data information into the capacitor for storage through the bit line.

The eighth region 308 and the ninth region 309 are arranged along the first direction Y outside the first region 301 and the second region 302, and are located on different sides of the first region 301 and the second region 302.

[0067] In this embodiment, the third isolation tube 209 and the third offset compensation tube 211 are both disposed in the eighth region 308, and the fourth isolation tube 210 and the fourth offset compensation tube 212 are both disposed in the ninth region 309.

For example, the two sources or drains share the same active region, or the two sources or drains are connected to the same constant voltage source or ground terminal.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first offset compensation transistors 203 of the multiple sets of sensing amplifiers 20 correspond to multiple third active regions A3. The multiple third active regions A3 are arranged discretely along the second direction and are disposed in a third region 303 or a fourth region 304. If the first offset compensation transistor 203 is disposed in the third region 303, then the multiple third active regions A3 are disposed in the third region 303. (Refer to...) Figure 6 If the first offset compensation tube 203 is located in the fourth region 304, then multiple third active regions A3 are located in the fourth region 304, as shown in the reference. Figure 5 The third region 303 or the fourth region 304 also includes a first offset compensation transistor 203 gate extending along the second direction X, the first offset compensation transistor 203 gate covering the plurality of third active regions A3.

[0070] The second offset compensation transistors 204 of the multiple sets of sensing amplifiers 20 correspond to multiple fourth active regions A4, which are arranged discretely along the second direction X. These multiple fourth active regions A4 are located in either the third region 303 or the fifth region 305. If the second offset compensation transistor 204 is located in the third region 303, then the multiple fourth active regions A4 are located in the third region 303. (Refer to...) Figure 6 If the second offset compensation tube 204 is located in the fifth region 305, then multiple fourth active regions A4 are located in the fifth region 305, as shown in the reference. Figure 5 The third region 303 or the fifth region 305 also includes a second offset compensation transistor 204 gate extending along the second direction X, the second offset compensation transistor 204 gate covering the plurality of fourth active regions A4.

[0071] In this embodiment of the application, if both the first offset compensation tube 203 and the second offset compensation tube 204 are disposed in the third region 303, and the first offset compensation tube 203 and the second offset compensation tube 204 share the same common active region, then the third active region A3 and the fourth active region A4 coincide in the common active region. Figure 6 As shown.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the third active region A3 where the source or drain of the first offset compensation transistor 203 of the multiple sets of sensing amplifiers 20 is located is interconnected; the fourth active region A4 where the source or drain of the second offset compensation transistor 204 of the multiple sets of sensing amplifiers 20 is located is interconnected.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first offset compensation transistor 203 and the second offset compensation transistor 204 are configured to connect the control terminals of the first P-type transistor and the second P-type transistor to a preset voltage in response to an offset cancellation signal. The source or drain of the first offset compensation transistor 203 and the source or drain of the second offset compensation transistor 204 are connected to the preset voltage VBIAS. Therefore, the sources or drains of the multiple first offset compensation transistors 203 and the multiple second offset compensation transistors 204 connected to the preset voltage VBIAS can be interconnected. That is, the regions corresponding to the source or drain of the first offset compensation transistor 203 in the multiple third active regions A3 arranged in the second direction X can be interconnected, and the regions corresponding to the source or drain of the second offset compensation transistor 204 in the multiple fourth active regions A4 can be interconnected.

[0074] It is understandable that transistors of the same type but different functions share the same active area. By setting up shared source and drain terminals, the use of metal wiring for connection is avoided, and the occupied area is reduced. In this way, the use of metal wiring is reduced, thereby reducing contact resistance and improving memory performance.

The eighth region 308 is not marked in the figure. The fifth region 305 is connected to the ninth region 309, meaning that the ninth region 309 and the fifth region 305 are merged into one region.

[0168] S1, Pre-charge stage.

[0169] The system provides a first isolation signal ISOP, a second isolation signal ISON, an offset cancellation signal OC, and an equalization signal EQ. The first offset compensation transistor 203, the second offset compensation transistor 204, the first isolation transistor 207, the second isolation transistor 208, the third isolation transistor 209, the fourth isolation transistor 210, the third offset compensation transistor 211, the fourth offset compensation transistor 212, and the equalization transistor 213 are all in the ON state, thereby pre-charging the bit line BLT, the read bit line SABLT, the complementary bit line BLB, and the complementary read bit line SABLB to a preset voltage VBAIS. The first voltage PCS and the second voltage NCS are pre-charged to the preset voltage VBAIS via an external power supply.

[0170] S2, Offset Elimination Stage.

[0171] Maintaining the offset cancellation signal, a first voltage PCS of the first threshold voltage and a second voltage NCS of the second threshold voltage are provided to the two ends of the readout amplification unit 101. The first offset compensation transistor 203, the second offset compensation transistor 204, the third offset compensation transistor 211 and the fourth offset compensation transistor 212 are in the on state. The bit line BLT is connected to the readout bit line SABLT and the complementary bit line BLB is connected to the complementary readout bit line SABLB. The control terminals of the P-type transistors 201 and 202 are connected to the preset voltage VBAIS.

[0172] The first threshold voltage is greater than the preset voltage VBAIS, the preset voltage VBAIS is greater than the second threshold voltage, and the voltage value of the preset voltage VBAIS is usually half of the first threshold voltage.

[0173] For example, the second threshold voltage may be the ground voltage of 0V, and the first threshold voltage may be 1V.

[0174] During the offset elimination process, the first offset compensation transistor 203 and the second offset compensation transistor 204 are turned on, providing a preset voltage VB AIS to the gate of the first P-type transistor 201 and the gate of the second P-type transistor 202. The first P-type transistor 201 and the second P-type transistor 202 are turned on based on the preset voltage VBAIS. The first voltage PCS is transmitted to the complementary read bit line SABLT and the read bit line SABLB. The device difference between the first P-type transistor 201 and the second P-type transistor 202 will cause a voltage difference between the complementary read bit line SABLT and the read bit line SABLB. Then, the voltage difference between the complementary read bit line SABLT and the read bit line SABLB will compensate for the threshold voltage difference between the first P-type transistor 201 and the second P-type transistor 202, thereby realizing the offset elimination of the PMOS transistor.

[0175] The third offset compensation transistor 211 and the fourth offset compensation transistor 212 are turned on. Bit line BLT is electrically connected to and shares voltage with read bit line SABLT. Complementary bit line BLB is electrically connected to and shares voltage with complementary read bit line SABLT. The voltage of bit line BLT serves as the gate voltage of the first N-type transistor 205 to turn on the first N-type transistor 205. The second voltage NCS is electrically connected to the read bit line SABLT and is transmitted to the read bit line SABLT. The voltage of complementary read bit line SABLT serves as the gate voltage of the second N-type transistor 206 to turn on the second N-type transistor 206. The second voltage NCS is electrically connected to the complementary read bit line SABLT and is transmitted to the complementary read bit line SABLT. Bit line SABLB also compensates for the threshold voltage difference between the first N-type transistor 205 and the second N-type transistor 206 through the voltage difference between the complementary read bit line SABLT and the read bit line SABLB, thereby achieving offset elimination of the N-type transistor. Since bit line BLT is electrically connected to the read bit line SABLT and shares the voltage, and complementary bit line BLB is electrically connected to the complementary read bit line SABLB and shares the voltage, there is also a voltage difference between bit line BLT and complementary bit line BLB. The voltage difference between bit line BLT and complementary bit line BLB can also compensate for the threshold voltage difference between the first P-type transistor 201 and the second P-type transistor 202, and between the first N-type transistor 205 and the second N-type transistor 206.

[0176] By turning on the P-type transistor based on a stable preset voltage VBAIS, the threshold voltage difference between the P-type and N-type transistors is eliminated, thus stably eliminating offset noise in the sense amplifier and avoiding signal sensing errors during amplification.

[0177] S3, Charge Sharing Stage.

[0178] The memory cell transistor 214 is turned on by a control command, opening the memory cell 40 and connecting the bit line BLT to the memory cell 40. The memory cell 40 and the bit line BLT share charge to form the target voltage. At the same time, voltage equalization is performed on the read bit line SABLT and the complementary read bit line SABLT, providing an equalization signal EQ to maintain the first signal terminal PCS and the second signal terminal NCS at the preset voltage VBAIS, thus maintaining the read bit line SABLT and the complementary read bit line SABLT at the preset voltage VBAIS.

[0179] After the storage cell 40 shares charge with the bit line BLT, the voltage on the bit line BLT will decrease or increase according to the stored data in the storage cell 40. If the stored data is "0", the voltage on the bit line BLT will decrease, forming a target voltage that is lower than the preset voltage VBAIS. If the stored data is "1", the voltage on the bit line BLT will increase, forming a target voltage that is higher than the preset voltage VBAIS.

[0180] S4, Pre-sensing stage.

[0181] During the pre-sensing phase, the first signal terminal PCS and the second signal terminal NCS are maintained at the preset voltage VBAIS. The first isolation signal ISOP and the second isolation signal ISON are provided. The bit line BLT is connected to the complementary read bit line SABLB, and the complementary bit line BLB is connected to the read bit line SABLT. The target voltage is transmitted to the complementary read bit line SABLB.

[0182] S5, Sensing Amplification Stage.

[0183] During the sensing amplification stage, a first voltage PCS (a first threshold voltage) and a second voltage NCS (a second threshold voltage) are provided to the two ends of the readout amplification unit 101. This pulls down or raises the complementary readout bit line SABLB voltage, further reducing or raising the voltage on the bit line BLT, thus reading out the data from the amplified memory cell. Simultaneously, the change in the bit line BLT potential causes a synchronous change in the voltage of the memory cell 40, enabling a write-back to the open memory cell 40 and restoring the stored charge in the capacitor 215.

[0184] During the sensing amplification stage, if the stored data is "0", the target voltage is low, the voltage of the complementary readout bit line SAB LB decreases, the first P-type transistor 201 is turned on, the first voltage PCS pulls up the voltage of the readout bit line SAB LT and the complementary bit line BLT, the second N-type transistor 206 is turned on, and the second voltage NCS pulls down the voltage of the complementary readout bit line SABLB and the bit line BLB, thereby realizing the pull-down amplification of the target signal.

[0185] During the sensing amplification stage, if the stored data is "1", the target voltage is high, the voltage of the complementary readout bit line SAB LB increases, the first N-type transistor 205 turns on, the second voltage NCS pulls down the voltage of the readout bit line SAB LT and the complementary bit line BLT, the second P-type transistor 202 turns on, and the first voltage PCS pulls up the voltage of the complementary readout bit line SABLB and the bit line BLB, thus achieving the amplification of the target signal. It can be understood that during the offset elimination stage, the first voltage PCS and the second voltage NCS are provided to the two ends of the readout amplification unit 101, and a stable preset voltage VBIAS is provided to the gate of the P-type transistor to eliminate the offset of the P-type transistor, avoiding the influence of the offset on the reading result and improving the accuracy of the reading result.
