Detailed Implementation
[0030] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.
[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
[0032] It should be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as "on," "adjacent to," "connected to," or "coupled to" other elements or layers, it may be directly on, adjacent to, connected to, or coupled to other elements or layers, or there may be intervening elements or layers. Conversely, when an element is referred to as "directly on," "directly adjacent to," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" other elements or layers, there are no intervening elements or layers. It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used to describe various elements, parts, regions, layers, doping types, and / or portions, these elements, parts, regions, layers, doping types, and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, part, region, layer, doping type, or portion from another element, part, region, layer, doping type, or portion. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of this invention, the first element, component, region, layer, doping type, or portion discussed below may be represented as a second element, component, region, layer, or portion; for example, the first doping type may be referred to as the second doping type, and similarly, the second doping type may be referred to as the first doping type; the first doping type and the second doping type are different doping types, for example, the first doping type may be P-type and the second doping type may be N-type, or the first doping type may be N-type and the second doping type may be P-type. Spatial relation terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “under,” “above,” “above,” etc., are used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figure and other elements or features. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial relation terms also include different orientations of the device in use and operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, the element or feature described as “below,” “under,” or “below” will be oriented “above” the other element or feature. Therefore, the exemplary terms “below” and “under” can include both above and below orientations. Furthermore, the device may also include other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatial descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly. When used herein, the singular forms of “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising / including” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Meanwhile, in this specification, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items. After semiconductor technology reached the 22nm node, flash memory technology, which relies on floating gates to store charge, encountered difficulties in shrinking its size. At this time, phase-change random access memory (PCRAM) technology has been widely used due to its significant advantages over flash memory technology in many aspects, such as cell area, read / write speed, read / write cycles, and data retention time.
[0033] To ensure data accuracy while increasing the integration density of storage elements in PCRAM, a dense arrangement of these elements is crucial. However, since the storage elements are located between transistors and bit line structures, changing the arrangement of these elements requires corresponding adjustments to the positions of the transistors and the shape of the bit line structures, which increases the manufacturing cost and process complexity of PCRAM.

[0045] In one embodiment, the area of the top of the storage contact structure 108 is equal to the area of the bottom of the storage contact structure 108.
[0046] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4In one embodiment, the transistor contact structure 104 includes: a first lead-out structure 202 and a second lead-out structure 204; the bottom of the first lead-out structure 202 is the bottom of the transistor contact structure 104, and the first lead-out structure 202 is used to lead out the transistor 102; exemplaryly, the bottom of the first lead-out structure 202 is connected to the drain region of the transistor 102, and is used to lead out the drain region of the transistor 102. Typically, the area of the bottom of the first lead-out structure 202 is equal to the area of the drain region of the transistor 102; the bottom of the second lead-out structure 204 is in contact with the top of the first lead-out structure 202, and the top of the second lead-out structure 204 is the top of the transistor contact structure 104; wherein, the bottom and top of the first lead-out structure 202 are arranged opposite to each other, and the bottom and top of the second lead-out structure 204 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0048] In one embodiment, the portion of the first lead-out structure 202 near the bottom of the second lead-out structure 204 is a trapezoidal structure.
[0049] In one embodiment, the materials of the first lead-out structure 202 and the second lead-out structure 204 include one or more of polycrystalline silicon, metal, conductive metal nitride, conductive metal oxide, and metal silicide, wherein the metal can be tungsten (W), nickel (Ni), or titanium (Ti); the conductive metal nitride includes titanium nitride (TiN); the conductive metal oxide includes iridium oxide (IrO2); and the metal silicide includes titanium silicide (TiSi). Exemplarily, at least one of the storage contact structure 108, the first lead-out structure 202, and the second lead-out structure 204 may be made of a different material than others; for example, the material of the first lead-out structure 202 may be different from the materials of the storage contact structure 108 and the second lead-out structure 204. In practical applications, the same material may also be selected to prepare the storage contact structure 108, the first lead-out structure 202, and the second lead-out structure 204 as needed.
[0050] In one embodiment, the storage element 106 includes a phase change storage element, a ferroelectric storage element, a magnetoresistive storage element, a resistive switching storage element, or a phase change storage element.
[0051] Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the storage element 106 in one embodiment. For example... Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the storage element 106 is a phase-change storage element. The phase-change storage element includes a bottom electrode 206, a metal layer 208, a phase-change material layer 210, and a top electrode 212. The bottom electrode 206 is in contact with the upper surface of the transistor contact structure 104. The metal layer 208 is located on the upper surface of the bottom electrode 206, and the phase-change material layer 210 is located on the upper surface of the metal layer 208. According to the applied voltage or current pulse signal with different widths and heights, a reversible phase transition occurs between the crystalline state (low-resistance state) and the amorphous state (high-resistance state), thereby realizing the writing ("1") and erasing ("0") operations of information. The top electrode layer is located on the upper surface of the phase-change material layer 210. For example, the material of the phase-change material layer 210 includes chalcogenide materials, synthetic materials containing germanium, antimony, and tellurium (GST), such as Ge2Sb2Te5.
[0052] In one embodiment, the materials of the bottom electrode 206, metal layer 208, and top electrode 212 include one or more of polycrystalline silicon, metal, conductive metal nitride, conductive metal oxide, and metal silicide, wherein the metal can be tungsten (W), nickel (Ni), or titanium (Ti); the conductive metal nitride includes titanium nitride (TiN); the conductive metal oxide includes iridium oxide (IrO2); and the metal silicide includes titanium silicide (TiSi). Exemplarily, at least one structure of the bottom electrode 206, metal layer 208, and top electrode 212 may be made of a different material than the others; for example, the material of the top electrode 212 may be different from the materials of the bottom electrode 206 and metal layer 208. In practical applications, the same materials may be selected to prepare the bottom electrode 206, metal layer 208, and top electrode 212 as needed.
[0053] The basic storage principle of Phase Change Random Access Memory (PCRAM) is to apply voltage or current pulse signals of different widths and heights between the bottom electrode 206 and the top electrode 212 of the storage element 106, causing a physical phase change in the phase change material layer 210. Specifically, the phase change material layer 210 undergoes a reversible phase transition between a crystalline state (low-resistance state) and an amorphous state (high-resistance state), thereby enabling the writing ("1") and erasing ("0") operations of information. The mutual conversion process includes two processes: amorphization from crystalline to amorphous and crystallization from amorphous to crystalline. The former is called the amorphization process, and the latter is called the crystallization process. Information is then read out by measuring and comparing the resistance difference between the two physical phase states. This non-destructive reading process ensures accurate reading of the information stored in the device cell. The phase change material layer 210 has a resistivity difference of several orders of magnitude between its crystalline and amorphous states, which gives it a high noise margin, sufficient to distinguish between the "0" state and the "1" state.
[0054] In one embodiment, the phase change memory element further includes an interlayer dielectric layer 214 located between the bottom electrode 206 and the top electrode 212. A through trench is formed in the interlayer dielectric layer 214, and a metal layer 208 and a phase change material layer 210 are sequentially filled in the trench. Exemplarily, the material of the interlayer dielectric layer 214 includes oxides and oxynitrides, such as silicon dioxide or silicon nitride. Exemplarily, the width of the trench along the X direction is not less than 10 nanometers and not more than 20 nanometers.

Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the transistor contact structure 104 includes: a first lead-out structure 202 and a second lead-out structure 204; step S106 includes: S202, a first lead-out structure is formed on each transistor, and the bottom of the first lead-out structure is in contact with the transistor.

[0083] Figure 8 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the semiconductor structure after forming the transistor contact mask layer in one embodiment. Figure 9 for Figure 8 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the semiconductor structure after the transistor contact structure is formed in one corresponding embodiment.
[0084] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the first preset pattern is a multi-row, multi-column array. In the first step, a first contact structure 302, a first conductive film 304, and a transistor contact mask layer 306 are sequentially formed on the substrate 100 on which the transistor 102 is formed. The first contact structure 302 is connected to the drain region of the transistor 102. A first dielectric layer 308 with its upper surface flush with the upper surface of the first contact structure 302 is filled between adjacent first contact structures 302. The first conductive film 304 is located on the upper surface of the first contact structure 302, and the transistor contact mask layer 306 is located on the first conductive film 304, thus defining the shape and position of the transistor contact structure 104. The second step involves firstly removing a portion of the first conductive film 304, a portion of the first contact structure 302, and a portion of the first dielectric layer 308 using an etching process, using the transistor contact mask layer 306 as a mask. This yields a first lead-out structure 202 composed of the remaining first contact structure 302 and a second lead-out structure 204 composed of the remaining first conductive film 304. It is understood that in some embodiments, the etching process only removes the first conductive film 304 and the first contact structure 302 not covered by the transistor contact mask layer 306, forming the second lead-out structure 204 and the first lead-out structure 202. Next, a second dielectric layer 310 with an upper surface flush with the upper surface of the second lead-out structure 204 is filled between adjacent second lead-out structures 204.
[0085] In one embodiment, the area of the bottom of the second lead-out structure 204 is not less than the area of the top of the first lead-out structure 202.
[0086] In one embodiment, the portion of the first lead-out structure 202 near the bottom of the second lead-out structure 204 is a trapezoidal structure.
[0087] In one embodiment, the materials of the first lead-out structure 202 and the second lead-out structure 204 include one or more of polycrystalline silicon, metal, conductive metal nitride, conductive metal oxide, and metal silicide, wherein the metal can be tungsten (W), nickel (Ni), or titanium (Ti); the conductive metal nitride includes titanium nitride (TiN); the conductive metal oxide includes iridium oxide (IrO2); and the metal silicide includes titanium silicide (TiSi). Exemplarily, at least one of the storage contact structure 108, the first lead-out structure 202, and the second lead-out structure 204 may be made of a different material than others; for example, the material of the first lead-out structure 202 may be different from the materials of the storage contact structure 108 and the second lead-out structure 204. In practical applications, the same material may also be selected to prepare the storage contact structure 108, the first lead-out structure 202, and the second lead-out structure 204 as needed.
[0088] In one embodiment, the storage element 106 includes a phase change storage element, a ferroelectric storage element, a magnetoresistive storage element, a resistive switching storage element, or a phase change storage element.
[0089] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the method for fabricating the semiconductor structure further includes: forming a plurality of bit line structures 114 on the memory contact structure, wherein any bit line structure 114 contacts the top of a memory contact structure 108 located in the same column, and the bit line structure 114 is a straight line. For example, the length of the bit line structure 114 along the X direction is not less than the length of the top of the memory contact structure 108 along the X direction, and the X direction intersects the extension direction of the bit line structure 114.
[0090] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the method for fabricating the semiconductor structure further includes: forming a plurality of bit line structures 114 on the storage contact structure 108, wherein any bit line structure 114 is in contact with the top of two adjacent columns of storage contact structures 108, the bit line structure 114 is a broken line, and is in contact with and connected to the two adjacent columns of storage contact structures 108.
[0091] Figure 10 for Figure 9 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the semiconductor structure after the memory element is formed in one corresponding embodiment; Figure 11 for Figure 10 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the semiconductor structure after forming the bit line mask layer 318 in one corresponding embodiment; Figure 12 for Figure 11A cross-sectional view of the semiconductor structure after the bit line structure 114 is formed in one corresponding embodiment. (See attached diagram.) Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12As shown, in the third step, a memory element 106 is formed on each of the second lead-out structures 204. Taking the memory element 106 as a phase change memory element, the steps for forming the memory element 106 are as follows: First, a bottom electrode structure is formed on the upper surface of the second lead-out structure 204 by a deposition process, such as physical vapor deposition. Second, a planar interlayer dielectric structure is formed on the upper surface of the bottom electrode structure by a common deposition process and planarization process. Third, a trench penetrating the interlayer dielectric structure is formed in the interlayer dielectric structure by a photolithography etching process, resulting in an interlayer dielectric layer 214 composed of the remaining interlayer dielectric structure. For example, the material of the interlayer dielectric structure includes oxides, oxynitrides, such as silicon dioxide and silicon nitride. The width of the trench along the X direction is not less than 10 nanometers and not more than 20 nanometers. Next, a metal material structure with its upper surface higher than the interlayer dielectric layer 214 is filled into the trench, and excess metal material structures located on the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 214 and in the trench are etched away to obtain a metal layer 208 composed of the remaining metal material structure. Exemplarily, the upper surface of the metal layer 208 is lower than the upper surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 214. Then, a phase change material layer 210 is formed in the trench by deposition (e.g., ALD process) and etching processes. Exemplarily, the upper surface of the phase change material layer 210 is flush with the upper surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 214. The material of the phase change material layer 210 includes chalcogenide materials, germanium-, antimony-, and tellurium-containing synthetic materials (GST), such as Ge2Sb2Te5. Finally, a top electrode 212 is formed on the upper surface of the phase change material layer 210, and the width of the top electrode 212 along the X direction is not less than the width of the trench along the X direction. Then, a protective structure, such as a silicon nitride structure, is formed on the sidewalls of the bottom electrode 206 and the top electrode 212. This protective structure extends along the sidewalls of the bottom electrode 206 and covers the upper surface of the top electrode 212. Next, a third dielectric structure is formed on the substrate 100, filling the space between adjacent bottom electrodes 206, with the upper surface of the third dielectric structure higher than the upper surface of the protective structure. Then, the protective structure and the third dielectric structure directly above the top electrode 212 are removed by photolithography and etching processes, resulting in a storage contact trench 312 above the top electrode 212, a protective layer 216 composed of the remaining protective structure, and a third dielectric layer 314 composed of the remaining third dielectric structure. Fourth, a storage contact structure 108 is formed in the storage contact trench 312, with its upper surface flush with the upper surface of the third dielectric layer 314. Fifth, a bit line structure layer 316 is formed on the upper surface of the third dielectric layer 314. Step 6: A bit line mask layer 318 is formed on the bit line structure layer 316. The bit line mask layer 318 defines the shape and position of the bit line structure 114. Step 7: Using the bit line mask layer 318 as a mask, a portion of the bit line structure layer 316 is removed by an etching process to obtain the bit line structure 114 composed of the remaining bit line structure layer 316.Step 8: A fourth dielectric layer 320 with its upper surface flush with the bit line structure 114 is formed between adjacent bit line structures 114. For example, the materials of the first dielectric layer 308, the second dielectric layer 310, the third dielectric layer 314 and the fourth dielectric layer 320 include silicon dioxide, silicon oxynitride and silicon nitride.
[0092] In one embodiment, the materials of the bottom electrode 206, metal layer 208, and top electrode 212 include one or more of polycrystalline silicon, metal, conductive metal nitride, conductive metal oxide, and metal silicide, wherein the metal can be tungsten (W), nickel (Ni), or titanium (Ti); the conductive metal nitride includes titanium nitride (TiN); the conductive metal oxide includes iridium oxide (IrO2); and the metal silicide includes titanium silicide (TiSi). Exemplarily, at least one structure of the bottom electrode 206, metal layer 208, and top electrode 212 may be made of a different material than the others; for example, the material of the top electrode 212 may be different from the materials of the bottom electrode 206 and metal layer 208. In practical applications, the same materials may be selected to prepare the bottom electrode 206, metal layer 208, and top electrode 212 as needed.
[0093] The basic storage principle of Phase Change Random Access Memory (PCRAM) is to apply voltage or current pulse signals of different widths and heights between the bottom electrode 206 and the top electrode 212 of the storage element 106, causing a physical phase change in the phase change material layer 210. Specifically, the phase change material layer 210 undergoes a reversible phase transition between a crystalline state (low-resistance state) and an amorphous state (high-resistance state), thereby enabling the writing ("1") and erasing ("0") operations of information. The mutual conversion process includes two processes: amorphization from crystalline to amorphous and crystallization from amorphous to crystalline. The former is called the amorphization process, and the latter is called the crystallization process. Information is then read out by measuring and comparing the resistance difference between the two physical phase states. This non-destructive reading process ensures accurate reading of the information stored in the device cell. The phase change material layer 210 has a resistivity difference of several orders of magnitude between its crystalline and amorphous states, which gives it a high noise margin, sufficient to distinguish between the "0" state and the "1" state.
