Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a memory block structure, a memory system, and a method for processing and laying out the same. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the rapid development of electronic products and the increasing demands of the public for the performance of electronic products, semiconductors, as a core component, have permeated almost every aspect of our lives. From consumer electronics such as smartphones, computers, and tablets to various industries such as automobiles, medical equipment, communication equipment, home appliances, and solar panels, semiconductors are needed to realize their functions. Therefore, improving the overall performance of semiconductors has become an urgent need for all industries.

[0003] As the semiconductor industry develops, there is an urgent need to reduce the processing difficulty of semiconductors. Manufacturing semiconductor chips requires highly precise instruments and equipment, as well as complex processes. Reducing processing difficulty can improve production efficiency, lower costs, and help meet the ever-increasing market demand. Moreover, the requirements for the yield and driving performance of semiconductor devices are becoming increasingly stringent. Yield refers to the proportion of usable products in the production process. A high yield means fewer scraps and a higher yield rate. Improving yield is crucial for reducing costs and ensuring product quality. Driving performance refers to the performance of devices in their working state, such as the processing speed of a processor and the refresh rate of a display. High driving performance can provide a better performance experience and user satisfaction. Therefore, memory optimization has become a continuous and ongoing goal.

[0004] In existing technologies, board line drivers are concentrated in one area, driving multiple memory cell array blocks through dense routing. First, the excessively dense routing reduces yield; second, due to the different lengths of the routing, the resistance varies significantly, resulting in uneven driving performance of different memory cell array blocks, thus reducing the overall chip performance; third, after the memory cells are completed, the back-end requires 0.25μm and more advanced process nodes, limiting processing to dedicated fabs and resulting in relatively high product costs. To break this status quo, improve the overall driving performance and yield of memory, and reduce the manufacturing process difficulty, we propose a memory block structure, a memory system, and its processing and layout methods. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the invention and briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present invention is proposed.

[0007] Therefore, the first objective of this invention is to provide a storage block mechanism that, by arranging storage cell array blocks and board line drivers in a corresponding manner, changes the current situation where board line drivers are concentrated in one area and require dense wiring to drive multiple storage cell array blocks, thereby ensuring yield and making the driving performance more uniform.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a storage block mechanism, comprising a storage cell array block, a board line driver corresponding to the storage cell array block, and contacts corresponding to the board line driver and connected to the corresponding storage cell array block.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the storage block structure of the present invention, it further includes a board line corresponding to the storage unit array block; the storage unit array block is connected to the corresponding board line driver through the board line.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the storage block mechanism of the present invention, an insulating layer is provided covering the storage cell array block, and the insulating layer is provided with contact through holes; a board wire is connected at one end to the storage cell array block of the storage block mechanism through the contact through holes, and at the other end to the corresponding contact.

[0014] A second objective of this invention is to provide a storage system comprising: a storage block structure arranged in an X*Y rectangular array, wherein X and Y are both natural numbers greater than or equal to 1; the storage system further comprising: row peripheral circuitry including a word line driver connected to word lines and a row address decoder connected to the word line driver; and column peripheral circuitry including an inductive amplifier connected to the storage block structure, a bit line driver connected to bit lines, and a column address decoder connected to the bit line driver.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the storage system described in this invention, the sensing amplifier is connected to the corresponding storage block mechanism via a corresponding bit line; and the word line driver is connected to the corresponding storage block mechanism via a corresponding word line.

[0016] A third objective of the present invention is to provide a board line driver layout method, comprising: connecting each memory cell in the same memory cell array block to a corresponding board line; assigning one board line driver to each memory cell array block; connecting each board line driver to a corresponding contact, and such that each contact is connected to the corresponding memory cell array block via the corresponding board line.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the board line driver layout method of the present invention, the contact and the board line driver are respectively disposed on the outer sides of two adjacent sides of the memory cell array block.

This layout ensures that the routing length is consistent, and ensures that the driving performance of different memory cell array blocks will not be uneven due to large differences in resistance, which would lead to a decrease in chip performance.

[0038] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 This embodiment provides a storage block structure.

[0042] The storage block structure of the present invention is the specific structure between the storage cell array block, the board line driver and the contacts.

[0043] The storage block structure includes a storage cell array block 100, a board line driver 200 corresponding to each storage cell array block 100, and a contact 300 connected to each board line driver 200.

[0044] Specifically, the storage cell array block 100 and the board line driver 200 are configured corresponding to the storage cell array block 100; and the contact 300 is connected to the board line driver 200 and connected to the corresponding storage cell array block 100.

[0045] Preferably, the contact 300 and the board line driver 200 are respectively located on the outer sides of two adjacent sides of the storage cell array block 100.

[0046] like Figure 4 The contacts 300 and the board line driver 200 are located on different layers of the memory cell array block 100, and the contacts 300 and the board line driver 200 are located adjacent to the memory cell array block 100.

[0047] Preferably, the storage cell array block 100 includes a plurality of storage cells 101, and the plurality of storage cells 101 are arranged in an M*N rectangular array; M and N are both natural numbers greater than 1.

[0048] Preferably, each memory cell 101 further includes a corresponding switch unit 102; the memory cell array block 100 further includes M word lines 103 corresponding to the M rows of memory cells 101 and N bit lines 104 corresponding to the N columns of memory cells 101; the gate of each switch unit 102 is connected to the corresponding word line 103, one of the source and drain stages is connected to the corresponding bit line 104, and the other stage is connected to the corresponding polarization capacitor 105.

[0049] like Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, each storage unit 101 consists of one transistor and one capacitor, or two transistors and two capacitors; the switching unit 102 is preferably a transistor, used to control the charging and discharging of the capacitor to realize data storage and retrieval.

[0050] Preferably, it also includes a board line 106 corresponding to the storage cell array block 100; the storage cell array block 100 is connected to the corresponding board line driver 200 through the board line 106.

[0051] Preferably, the insulating layer 600 covers the storage cell array block 100, and the insulating layer 600 is provided with contact through holes 601; one end of the board wire 106 is connected to the storage cell array block 100 of the storage block mechanism Q through the contact through holes 601, and the other end is connected to the corresponding contact 300.

[0052] The insulating layer 600 is preferably polyimide, which can provide stable electrical isolation and protection performance, ensuring reliable operation and long life of the storage unit; the insulating layer 600 is provided with a contact through hole 601, and a metal layer is provided at the bottom area of ​​the contact through hole 601 for connection of one end of the board line 106.

[0053] Based on the above, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0054] 1. By adopting a staggered arrangement where the memory cell array blocks 100 and board line drivers 200 correspond one-to-one, and placing the contacts 300 below the memory cell array blocks 100, the consistent wiring length of the board lines 106 is ensured, while also guaranteeing uniform driving performance of the memory cell array blocks 100, further improving the overall chip performance. Compared to the traditional design, which mainly concentrates the board line drivers in a certain area and connects them to each memory cell array block through wiring, resulting in inconsistent wiring lengths and significant resistance differences that affect the driving performance of different memory cell array blocks, this solution can solve this problem.

[0055] The advantage of this layout is that by maintaining a consistent wiring length for the board lines 106, resistance variations caused by differences in wiring are eliminated, allowing each memory cell array block 100 to obtain balanced driving performance. This uniform performance ensures the overall reliability and stability of the chip, improves the overall performance level of the chip, and can meet the stability and reliability requirements of various applications.

[0056] 2. In traditional layout technology, due to the limited width of the memory cell array blocks, the board line driver needs to be closely connected to each memory cell array block. However, this compact wiring method results in extremely high trace density, which poses some challenges to yield. To address this issue, the back-end manufacturing process must reach 0.25μm or even more advanced nodes to process it, which undoubtedly greatly increases manufacturing costs and manufacturing difficulty.

[0057] In contrast, this solution adopts a one-to-one correspondence between each memory cell array block 100 and the corresponding board line driver 200, and connects them through board lines 106, thereby improving the routing layout. This solution eliminates the need for overly dense routing, solves the negative impact of routing density on yield, and breaks the limitation of routing in a limited width space, making the entire routing process more flexible and smooth. It significantly reduces the complexity and cost of the manufacturing process. With this arrangement, the back-end process can even use process nodes above 0.8μm, which greatly reduces the manufacturing difficulty and improves production efficiency.

[0058] 3. In traditional layout technology, due to the limitation of available space, only a fixed number of memory cell array blocks can be arranged within the same row, and they need to be closely arranged, resulting in very small gaps between each memory cell array block. This dense layout requires the back-end process to use 0.25μm or even more advanced process nodes to process. Such processes can usually only be carried out in specialized fabs, resulting in high manufacturing costs and great manufacturing difficulties.

[0059] In contrast, this solution employs a staggered arrangement of each memory cell array block 100 and the board line driver 200. The board line driver 200 makes way for the memory cell array blocks 100, allowing the same number of memory cell array blocks 100 to be arranged within the same limited space. This relaxes the spacing requirements between each memory cell array block 100, allowing for a more sparse arrangement. This configuration allows for a more rational allocation of layout space, enabling each memory cell array block 100 to occupy a larger area, no longer limited by the dense arrangement of traditional technologies. The increased spacing between each memory cell array block 100 also reduces the requirements for highly dense wiring in the back-end processes, making it possible to apply to process nodes above 0.8μm. This significantly reduces manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the sparse layout alleviates wiring congestion, improves signal transmission efficiency and reliability, helps reduce power consumption and heat generation, improves the overall performance and sustainability of the chip, and overcomes the limitations of layout constraints, thereby increasing production efficiency.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] Reference Figure 10 This embodiment provides a storage system based on Embodiment 1.

[0062] The storage system includes storage block structure, row peripheral circuits, and column peripheral circuits.

[0063] Specifically, the storage block structure Q is arranged in an X*Y rectangular array, where X and Y are both natural numbers greater than or equal to 1;

[0064] The storage system also includes: row peripheral circuitry 400, which includes a word line driver 401 connected to word line 103 and a row address decoder 402 connected to word line driver 401; and column peripheral circuitry 500, which includes an inductive amplifier 501 connected to storage block mechanism Q, a bit line driver 502 connected to bit line 104, and a column address decoder 503 connected to bit line driver 502.

[0065] Preferably, the inductive amplifier 501 is connected to the corresponding memory block mechanism Q via the corresponding bit line 104; the word line driver 401 is connected to the corresponding memory block mechanism Q via the corresponding word line 103.

[0066] In summary, the present invention provides a framework structure diagram of a storage system, wherein the word line driver 401 is connected to the storage block mechanism Q via the word line 103; the sensing amplifier 501 is connected to the storage block Q via the bit line 104, and the storage system is formed by connecting the row peripheral circuit 400 and the column peripheral circuit 500.

[0067] Example 3

[0068] Reference Figures 1-10 This embodiment provides a board line driver layout method based on Embodiment 2.

[0069] Specifically, each memory cell 101 in the same memory cell array block 100 is connected to a corresponding board line 106; each memory cell array block 100 corresponds to a board line driver 200; each board line driver 200 is connected to a corresponding contact 300, and each contact 300 is connected to the corresponding memory cell array block 100 through the corresponding board line 106.

[0070] Preferably, the contact 300 and the board line driver 200 are respectively located on the outer sides of two adjacent sides of the storage cell array block 100.

[0071] Each board line driver 200 is preferably staggered and placed on the right side of each corresponding memory cell array block 100, and the contacts 300 are preferably placed one-to-one on the lower side of the memory cell array block 100, and the memory cell array block 100 and the contacts 300 are connected by board lines 106.

[0072] In summary, by providing a layout method for the board line driver 200, the board line driver 200 and the contact 300 are respectively located on the outer sides of two adjacent sides of the memory cell array block 100. This arrangement allows for smooth routing of the board line 106, avoiding the problem of dense routing affecting yield. At the same time, this arrangement can keep the length of the traces consistent, making the driving performance of different memory cell array blocks 100 more uniform.

[0073] Example 4

[0074] Reference Figures 1-12 This embodiment provides a memory processing method based on Embodiment 3.

[0075] Specifically, the memory is laid out as a storage block structure Q; an insulating layer 600 is deposited on the storage block structure Q; contact through holes 601 are opened on the insulating layer 600 at positions corresponding to the contacts; corresponding board lines 106 are set on each contact, and the board lines are electrically connected to the contacts in the contact through holes 601.

[0076] In summary, the memory fabrication method mainly consists of three steps: first, an insulating layer 600 is used to deposit the memory block structure Q, wherein the insulating layer 600 is preferably polyimide; then, contact vias 601 are formed through the insulating layer 600; finally, the contact vias 601 are connected to the contacts 300 through the board line 106.

[0077] Example 5

[0078] Reference Figure 5 , Figures 13-16 This embodiment presents a memory processing method different from that in Embodiment 4.

[0079] Preferably, the memory is arranged in a storage block structure Q; an insulating layer 600 is deposited on the storage block structure Q; contact through holes 601 are opened on the insulating layer 600 corresponding to the positions of the contacts; and the contacts 300 are disposed inside the contact through holes 601; a corresponding board line 106 is provided on each contact, and the board line 106 is electrically connected to the contacts in the contact through holes 601.

[0080] In summary, for memory fabrication, the memory block structure Q is first deposited using an insulating layer 600, preferably polyimide. Then, a contact through-hole 601 is formed through the insulating layer 600. Unlike embodiment 4, by making the contact through-hole 601 larger, the contact 300 can be directly included. Finally, the contact through-hole 601 and the contact 300 are connected by a board line 106.
