[0002] With the continuous growth of semiconductor market demand, semiconductor memory technology has developed rapidly. In particular, dynamic random access memory (DRAM) has occupied a leading position in the memory market. A typical DRAM cell consists of a transistor and a capacitor in a 1T1C structure.

[0028] As known from the background art, as the integration level continues to shrink, the process of forming capacitors becomes increasingly difficult.
[0029] The present disclosure provides a semiconductor structure. A first wafer includes a first transistor, a second wafer includes a second transistor, and the first gate of the first transistor is electrically connected to the second drain of the second transistor. Thus, the first gate of the first transistor can be equivalent to a capacitor, and the second transistor can be used as a transistor connected to the capacitor to form a 2T0C semiconductor structure. At the same time, by setting the top surface of the first gate of the first transistor flush with the first surface, it is convenient to bond the first gate of the first transistor to the second transistor. By setting the top surface of the second gate lower than the bottom surface of the second source, the integration of the semiconductor structure can be improved while reducing the parasitic capacitance between the second gate and the second source, and avoiding short circuit between the second gate and the second source, thereby improving the reliability of the semiconductor structure.
[0030] The following describes various embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that many technical details are provided in the various embodiments of the present disclosure to facilitate a better understanding of the present disclosure. However, even without these technical details and the various variations and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions claimed in the present disclosure can still be implemented.
[0031] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a semiconductor structure provided by the present disclosure.
[0032] In some embodiments, the semiconductor structure may include: a first wafer 100 having a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 relative to each other, the first wafer 100 including a first transistor 110, the first transistor 110 including a first gate 111, a first source 112 and a first drain 113, the top surface of the first gate 111 away from the second surface 102 is flush with the first surface 101, the top surface of the first gate 111 is higher than the top surface of the first source 112, and the first drain 113 is located on the side of the first gate 111 close to the second surface 102.
[0033] In some embodiments, the semiconductor structure may further include: a second wafer 200 having a relative third surface 201 and a fourth surface 202, the fourth surface 202 being opposite to and bonded to the first surface 101, the second wafer 200 including a second transistor 210, the second transistor 210 including a second gate 211, a second source 212 and a second drain 213, the second source 212 being closer to the third surface 201 than the second drain 213, the top surface of the second gate 211 being lower than the bottom surface of the second source 212, the third spacing being smaller than the fourth spacing, and the second drain 213 being electrically connected to the first gate 111.
[0034] By providing a first wafer 100 including a first transistor 110 and a second wafer 200 including a second transistor 210, and electrically connecting the first gate 111 of the first transistor 110 to the second drain 213 of the second transistor 210, the first gate 111 of the first transistor 110 can be equivalent to a capacitor, and the second transistor 210 can be used as a transistor connected to the capacitor to form a 2T0C semiconductor structure. At the same time, by setting the top surface of the first gate 111 of the first transistor 110 flush with the first surface 101, it is convenient to bond the first gate 111 of the first transistor 110 to the second transistor 210. By setting the top surface of the second gate 211 of the second transistor 210 lower than the bottom surface of the second source 212, the parasitic capacitance between the second gate 211 and the second source 212 can be reduced while improving the integration of the semiconductor structure, and short circuit between the second gate 211 and the second source 212 can be avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the semiconductor structure.
[0035] In some embodiments, the first wafer 100 may include a first substrate 120. The material of the first substrate 120 may include a semiconductor material, such as, but not limited to, silicon. In some embodiments, the first substrate 120 may include a base semiconductor, a compound semiconductor, or an alloy semiconductor. For example, base semiconductors include germanium; compound semiconductors include silicon carbide, gallium arsenide, gallium phosphide, indium phosphide, indium arsenide, indium antimonide, and / or Group III-V semiconductor materials; and alloy semiconductors include silicon germanium, silicon germanium carbide, germanium-tin, silicon-germanium-tin, gallium arsenic phosphide, gallium indium phosphide, gallium indium arsenide, indium gallium arsenide, aluminum indium arsenide, and / or aluminum gallium arsenide. In some embodiments, the first substrate 120 may also be a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure, a silicon-germanium-on-insulator (SGI) structure, a germanium-on-insulator (GOI) structure, or a combination thereof.
[0036] In addition, the first substrate 120 can be doped according to design requirements (e.g., a P-type substrate or an N-type substrate). In some embodiments, the first substrate 120 can be doped with P-type dopant ions (e.g., boron ions, aluminum ions) or N-type dopant ions (e.g., phosphorus ions, arsenic ions).
[0037] In some embodiments, the first gate 111 may include a first portion 114 and a second portion 115. The first portion 114 is located on a top surface of the second portion 115 away from the second surface 102. The top surface of the first portion 114 away from the second surface 102 is flush with the first surface 101. In a direction perpendicular to the first surface 101 and directed toward the second surface 102, the width of the first portion 114 is greater than the width of the second portion 115. By configuring the first gate 111 to include the first portion 114 and the second portion 115, and the first portion 114 to be wider than the second portion 115, the surface area of the first gate 111 exposed on the first wafer 100 can be increased, thereby facilitating electrical connection between the first gate 111 and the second drain 213 after the first wafer 100 and the second wafer 200 are bonded. Furthermore, the greater the width of the top surface of the first portion 114, the lower the resistance of the first portion 114, thereby reducing the resistance of the first gate 111.
[0038] In other words, the morphology of the first gate 111 can be "T"-shaped, that is, the surface area of the side surface of the first gate 111 away from the second surface 102 is large, and the surface area of the side surface close to the second surface 102 is small, so that it is convenient to electrically connect the first gate 111 and the second drain 213 in the semiconductor structure manufacturing process, and the reliability of the electrical connection between the first gate 111 and the second drain 213 can be improved.
[0039] In some embodiments, the width of the first portion 114 is 1.5 to 2.5 times the width of the second portion 115. For example, the width of the first portion 114 is 1.5 or 2 times the width of the second portion 115. Figure 1 In the cross-sectional view shown and in the direction perpendicular to the first surface 101 and pointing to the second surface 102, the size of the first portion 114 and the width of the second portion 115 are Figure 1 In the cross-sectional view shown and in the direction perpendicular to the first surface 101 pointing to the second surface 102, the size of the second portion 115 can be improved by setting the width of the first portion 114 to 1.5 to 2.5 times the width of the second portion 115, while avoiding the width of the top surface of the first gate 111 being too large while improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the first gate 111 and the second drain 213.
[0040] It can be understood that the smaller the width of the first part 114, the poorer the ability to improve the reliability of the electrical connection between the first gate 111 and the second drain 213. The larger the width of the first part 114, the more it will affect the arrangement of other structures in the semiconductor structure when the size of the semiconductor structure is constant. If the width of the first part 114 is less than 1.5 times the width of the second part 115, the ability to improve the reliability of the electrical connection between the first gate 111 and the second drain 213 is poor, and it may even affect the resistance of the first part 114. If the width of the first part 114 is greater than 2.5 times the width of the second part 115, the width of the first part 114 will be too large, affecting other structures in the semiconductor structure.
[0041] In some embodiments, the first wafer 100 includes a plurality of first transistors 110 , and the plurality of first transistors 110 are arranged at intervals.
[0042] In some embodiments, each first transistor 110 in the plurality of first transistors 110 includes a first portion 114 and a second portion 115. In this case, the width of the first portion 114 also needs to consider the spacing between adjacent first transistors 110. If the width of the first portion 114 is too large, the spacing between the first gates 111 of adjacent first transistors 110 will be too small, resulting in more parasitic capacitance between adjacent first transistors 110, and may also cause a short circuit between adjacent first transistors 110.
[0043] In some embodiments, the widths of the first parts 114 of the multiple first transistors 110 may be the same. The "same" here means that the widths of the first parts of the multiple first transistors 110 are exactly the same, or the width difference between the first parts 114 of different first transistors 110 is within the allowable error range. By setting the widths of the first parts 114 of the multiple first transistors 110 to be the same, the entire semiconductor structure manufacturing process can be facilitated.
[0044] In some embodiments, the widths of the first portions 114 of the plurality of first transistors 110 may be partially the same, partially different, or the widths of the first portions 114 of each of the plurality of first transistors 110 may be different. For example, the width of the first portion 114 of the first transistor 110 located at the edge of the first wafer 100 may be greater than the width of the first portion 114 of the first transistor 110 located at the center of the first wafer 100.
[0045] It should be noted that the center of the first wafer 100 here refers to the part that occupies 3 / 5 of the volume of the first wafer 100 in the radial direction of the first wafer 100, and the edge of the first wafer 100 refers to the part wrapped around the center of the first wafer 100 and away from the central axis of the first wafer 100.
[0046] In some embodiments, the semiconductor structure includes a first substrate 120 , a portion of the first gate 111 is located within the first substrate 120 , and a portion of the first gate 111 is located on the first substrate 120 .
[0047] In some embodiments, the first gate 111 includes a first portion 114 and a second portion 115 , wherein the top surface of the second portion 115 is higher than the top surface of the first substrate 120 , and the bottom surface of the second portion 115 is lower than the bottom surface of the first substrate 120 , and the first portion 114 is located on the first substrate 120 and is spaced apart from the first substrate 120 .
[0048] In some embodiments, the first wafer 100 includes a first substrate 120 , and the first source 112 is flush with a top surface of the first substrate 120 . In some embodiments, the first source 112 may be formed by doping the first substrate 120 .
[0049] In some embodiments, the first wafer 100 includes a first substrate 120 , and the first drain 113 is located in the first substrate 120 . In some embodiments, the first drain 113 may also be formed by doping the first substrate 120 .
[0050] In some embodiments, the first wafer 100 may further include: a first word line 130, the first word line 130 is connected to the first source 112; a first bit line 140, the first bit line 140 is connected to the first drain 113, and the first bit line 140 is located on the side of the first word line 130 close to the second surface 102. For the first wafer 100, the first bit line 140 and the first word line 130 are structures for reading whether the first transistor 110 stores charge. If the first gate 111 of the first transistor 110 stores charge, a high level is passed to the first bit line 140. If the high level can be read from the first word line 130, it proves that charge is stored in the first gate 111. Conversely, if a high level is passed to the first bit line 140, if the high level cannot be read from the first word line 130, it means that no charge is stored in the first gate 111.
[0051] In some embodiments, the first word line 130 may include: a first word line conductive layer and a first word line protective layer, wherein the first word line conductive layer is the portion of the first word line 130 used to transmit data information, and the first word line protective layer is the portion of the first word line 130 used to protect the first word line conductive layer.
[0052] In some embodiments, the first word line conductive layer may be a stack of multiple conductive film layers. In some embodiments, the first word line conductive layer may also be a single film layer.
[0053] In some embodiments, the material of the first word line conductive layer may be at least one of copper or tungsten.
[0054] In some embodiments, the first word line protection layer may be a stack of multiple insulating film layers. In some embodiments, the first word line protection layer may also be a single film layer.
[0055] In some embodiments, the material of the first word line protection layer may be at least one of silicon oxide or silicon nitride.
[0056] In some embodiments, the first wafer 100 may further include: a first dielectric layer 150, the first dielectric layer 150 covering a surface of the first gate 111 facing away from the first surface 101; and a first channel layer 160, the first channel layer 160 covering a surface of the first dielectric layer 150 and contacting a top surface of the first bit line 140 facing away from the second surface 102. The first dielectric layer 150 is used to isolate the first gate 111 from the first substrate 120, and also to isolate the first gate 111 from the first source 112 and the first drain 113, thereby preventing electrical connection between the first gate 111 and the first drain 113 and the first source 112. The provision of the first channel layer 160 allows for a conductive path between the first source 112 and the first drain 113.
[0057] In some embodiments, the first channel layer 160 also covers the top surface of the first drain 113 away from the second surface 102. The first channel layer 160 surrounds the outer surface of the first gate 111 to form a vertical annular channel device structure CAA (Channel-All-Around). By providing the first channel layer 160 around the outer surface of the first gate 111, the device area can be reduced and support the stacking of multi-layer semiconductor structures.
[0058] In some embodiments, the material of the first dielectric layer 150 may be a material having a relative dielectric constant greater than 7. It is understood that the higher the relative dielectric constant, the better the insulation of the first dielectric layer 150, the better the insulation performance between the first gate 111 and the first drain 113 and the first source 112, and the less likely leakage occurs between the first gate 111 and the first drain 113 and the first source 112. By setting the material of the first dielectric layer 150 to be a material having a relative dielectric constant greater than 7, the reliability of the formed capacitor structure can be improved.
[0059] It should be noted that the relative dielectric constant here means: taking the value of the absolute dielectric constant of free space or vacuum as the standard, the relative dielectric constant refers to the ratio of the absolute dielectric constant of any material to the absolute dielectric constant of free space or vacuum.
[0060] In some embodiments, the material of the first channel layer 160 may include indium gallium zinc oxide. By including indium gallium zinc oxide in the first channel layer 160, the first channel layer 160 can have higher electron mobility. As will be appreciated, higher electron mobility increases the device's information transmission capacity, enabling the use of narrower channels for information transmission, achieving higher resolution, and also offering the advantage of lower power consumption. By including indium gallium zinc oxide in the first channel layer 160, a more integrated semiconductor structure can be accommodated.
[0061] In some embodiments, the first wafer 100 may further include: a first isolation structure 170, the first isolation structure 170 is located on the top surface of the first substrate 120, and the first substrate 120 can be protected by setting the first isolation structure 170, and the adjacent first gates 111 can be isolated by forming the first isolation structure 170 to avoid short circuits between the first gates 111, and the first isolation structure 170 can also support the formed first gate 111, thereby avoiding the collapse of the first gate 111 and improving the reliability of the semiconductor structure.
[0062] In some embodiments, the first isolation structure 170 can be a multi-layer structure. Taking a three-layer structure as an example, the first isolation structure 170 can include a first sub-isolation layer 171, a second sub-isolation layer 172 and a third sub-isolation layer 173. The first sub-isolation layer 171 is located on the top surface of the first substrate 120, the second sub-isolation layer 172 is located on the top surface of the first sub-isolation layer 171, and the third sub-isolation layer 173 is located on the top surface of the second sub-isolation layer 172; in some embodiments, the first isolation structure 170 can also be a single-layer structure, which can be selected according to actual needs.
[0063] In some embodiments, the material of the first sub-isolation layer 171 may be silicon nitride, the material of the second sub-isolation layer 172 may be silicon oxide, and the material of the third sub-isolation layer 173 may be silicon nitride. That is, the first isolation structure 170 may be a NON (nitride layer-oxide layer-nitride layer) structure. By setting an oxide layer between the two nitride layers, the insulation performance of the first isolation structure 170 can be improved, that is, the insulation between the first wafer 100 and the second wafer 200 that does not require electrical connection can be improved, and the material of the nitride layer is relatively hard. By setting two nitride layers, the morphology of the first isolation structure 170 can also be improved.
[0064] In some embodiments, the first sub-isolation layer 171 , the second sub-isolation layer 172 , and the third sub-isolation layer 173 may be formed by atomic vapor deposition.
[0065] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the third sub-isolation layer 173 on the surface of the first substrate 120 is located within the orthographic projection of the first sub-isolation layer 171 on the surface of the first substrate 120. In other words, in a direction perpendicular to the third sub-isolation layer 173 pointing to the first sub-isolation layer 171, the width of the third sub-isolation layer 173 is smaller than the width of the first sub-isolation layer 171, thereby providing space for forming a first gate 111 having a first portion 114 and a second portion 115. That is, space is provided for the first portion 114 of the first gate 111 by shortening the width of the third sub-isolation layer 173.
[0066] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the second sub-isolation layer 172 on the surface of the first substrate 120 may also be located within the orthographic projection of the first sub-isolation layer 171 on the surface of the first substrate 120, that is, space is provided for the first portion 114 of the first gate 111 by shortening the width of the second sub-isolation layer 172.
[0067] In some embodiments, the second wafer 200 may further include a second substrate 220. The material of the second substrate 220 may include a semiconductor material, such as, but not limited to, silicon. In some embodiments, the second substrate 220 may include a base semiconductor, a compound semiconductor, or an alloy semiconductor. For example, base semiconductors include germanium; compound semiconductors include silicon carbide, gallium arsenide, gallium phosphide, indium phosphide, indium arsenide, indium antimonide, and / or Group III-V semiconductor materials; and alloy semiconductors include silicon germanium, silicon germanium carbide, germanium-tin, silicon-germanium-tin, gallium arsenic phosphide, gallium indium phosphide, gallium indium arsenide, indium gallium arsenide, aluminum indium arsenide, and / or aluminum gallium arsenide. In some embodiments, the second substrate 220 may also be a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure, a silicon-germanium-on-insulator (SGI) structure, a germanium-on-insulator (GOI) structure, or a combination thereof.
[0068] In addition, the second substrate 220 can be doped according to design requirements (e.g., a P-type substrate or an N-type substrate). In some embodiments, the second substrate 220 can be doped with P-type dopant ions (e.g., boron ions, aluminum ions) or N-type dopant ions (e.g., phosphorus ions, arsenic ions).
[0069] In some embodiments, the second substrate 220 may be the same as the first substrate 120 , for example, both may be silicon substrates.
[0070] In some embodiments, the second wafer 200 includes a second substrate 220 , and the second gate 211 of the second wafer 200 is located in the second substrate 220 , that is, the top surface of the second gate 211 is lower than the top surface of the second substrate 220 , and the bottom surface of the second gate 211 is higher than the bottom surface of the second substrate 220 .
[0071] In some embodiments, by setting the top surface of the second gate 211 lower than the top surface of the second source 212, there can be no second gate 211 between adjacent second transistors 210. Since the second gate 211 has strong conductivity, by setting the top surface of the second gate 211 lower than the top surface of the second source 212, the insulation between adjacent second transistors 210 can be improved.
[0072] In some embodiments, the second wafer 200 includes a second substrate 220 , and the top surface of the second source 212 is flush with the top surface of the second substrate 220 . In some embodiments, the second source 212 may also be formed by doping the second substrate 220 .
[0073] In some embodiments, the second wafer 200 includes a second substrate 220 , and the second drain 213 is located in the second substrate 220 . In some embodiments, the second drain 213 may also be formed by doping the second substrate 220 .
[0074] In some embodiments, the second wafer 200 may further include: a second word line 230, the second word line 230 being located on the second gate 211, with the top surface of the second word line 230 away from the second gate 211 being flush with the third surface 201; and a second bit line 240, the second bit line 240 being connected to the second drain 213 and located on a side of the second gate 211 close to the fourth surface 202. For the second wafer 200, the second word line 230 and the second bit line 240 are structures for writing charge to the first transistor 110. That is, the second transistor 210 is controlled to turn on via the second word line 230, charge is transferred to the second drain 213 of the second transistor 210 via the second bit line 240, and charge is written to the first gate 111 via the second drain 213 electrically connected to the first gate 111 of the first transistor 110. Alternatively, the second transistor 210 is controlled to turn on via the second word line 230, and the charge on the first gate 111 is discharged via the second bit line 240.
[0075] In some embodiments, the second word line 230 can be the same as the first word line 130, and can include a second word line conductive layer and a second word line protective layer, wherein the second word line conductive layer is the portion of the second word line 230 used to transmit data information, and the second word line protective layer is the portion of the second word line 230 used to protect the second word line conductive layer.
[0076] In some embodiments, the second wafer 200 further includes a conductive via 250, which is located between the second word line 230 and the second gate 211 to electrically connect the second word line 230 to the second gate 211. It is understood that the top surface of the second gate 211 is lower than the top surface of the second source 212. Therefore, when forming the second word line 230, the second word line 230 cannot be directly contacted and connected to the second gate 211. Therefore, the second word line 230 and the second gate 211 must be connected through other conductive structures to achieve the purpose of the second word line 230 controlling the second gate 211. The second gate 211 and the second word line 230 can be connected through the conductive via 250, which is easy to form and can reduce the processing difficulty of the entire semiconductor structure.
[0077] In some embodiments, the second wafer 200 may further include: a second dielectric layer 260, the second dielectric layer 260 covering the surface of the second gate 211 facing away from the third surface 201; and a second channel layer 270, the second channel layer 270 covering the surface of the second dielectric layer 260, with the bottom surface of the second channel layer 270 near the fourth surface 202 being lower than the top surface of the second drain 213 near the third surface 201. The second dielectric layer 260 is used to isolate the second gate 211 from the second substrate 220, and also to isolate the second gate 211 from the second source 212 and the second drain 213, thereby preventing electrical connection between the second gate 211 and the second drain 213 and the second source 212. The second channel layer 270 allows for a conductive path between the second source 212 and the second drain 213. In some embodiments, the material of the second dielectric layer 260 can be the same as that of the first dielectric layer 150 , and both can be materials with a relative dielectric constant greater than 7.
[0078] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the second channel layer 270 can also be lower than the top surface of the second drain 213, that is, the second channel layer 270 is also embedded in the second drain 213, thereby increasing the contact area between the second channel layer 270 and the second drain 213, thereby improving the reliability of the semiconductor structure.
[0079] In some embodiments, a height difference between a bottom surface of the second channel layer 270 and a top surface of the second drain electrode 213 is 5-10 nm. In other words, the depth of the second channel layer 270 embedded in the second drain electrode 213 is 5-10 nm. It can be understood that the greater the height difference between the bottom surface of the second channel layer 270 and the top surface of the second drain electrode 213, the larger the contact area between the second channel layer 270 and the second drain electrode 213, and the higher the efficiency of charge transmission. However, the greater the height difference between the bottom surface of the second channel layer 270 and the top surface of the second drain electrode 213, the smaller the area of the second drain electrode 213 itself, which will affect the performance of the second drain electrode 213 itself. The smaller the height difference between the bottom surface of the second channel layer 270 and the top surface of the second drain electrode 213, the smaller the performance of increasing the transmission efficiency between the second channel layer 270 and the second drain electrode 213. Therefore, by setting the height difference between the bottom surface of the second channel layer 270 and the top surface of the second drain electrode 213 to 5-10 nm, a balance can be achieved between improving the transmission efficiency between the second channel layer 270 and the second drain electrode 213 and changing the performance of the second drain electrode 213 itself.
[0080] If the height difference between the bottom surface of the second channel layer 270 and the top surface of the second drain 213 is less than 5-10nm, the performance of improving the transmission efficiency between the second channel layer 270 and the second drain 213 is poor. If the height difference between the bottom surface of the second channel layer 270 and the top surface of the second drain 213 is greater than 5-10nm, it will affect the performance of the second drain 213 itself.
[0081] In some embodiments, the second channel layer 270 may have a structure similar to that of the first channel layer 160 , and the second channel layer may surround the outer surface of the second gate 211 to form a CAA structure, thereby reducing the device area and supporting the stacking of multi-layer semiconductor structures.
[0082] In some embodiments, the material of the second channel layer 270 may include indium gallium zinc oxide.
[0083] In some embodiments, the second wafer 200 may further include: a second isolation structure 310 , where the second isolation structure 310 is located on a top surface of the second source 212 away from the fourth surface 202 .
[0084] In some embodiments, the second isolation structure 310 is made of insulating materials such as silicon oxide, and can be used as a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure.
[0085] In some embodiments, the second wafer 200 may further include: a first isolation layer 280, the first isolation layer 280 is located on the top surface of the second gate 211, and forms a receiving space with the second gate 211, and the conductive through hole is located in the receiving space. By forming the first isolation layer 280, the insulation between adjacent second transistors 210 can be improved.
[0086] In some embodiments, the second wafer 200 may further include: a second isolation layer 290, which may be located between the second dielectric layer 260 and the second word line 230, thereby improving the insulation between the second word line 230 and the second source 212, and also improving the insulation between the second word line 230 and the second bit line 240.
[0087] In some embodiments, the second wafer 200 includes a second substrate 220, and the second drain 213 is located in the second substrate 220. The first wafer 100 and the second wafer 200 are bonded so that the bottom surface of the second substrate 220 is directly bonded to the first surface of the first wafer 100. The electrical connection between the second drain 213 and the first gate 111 is achieved by penetrating the conductive structure 300 of the second substrate 220.
[0088] In some embodiments, the conductive structure 300 may be a conductive pillar, a conductive via, or the like.
[0089] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the second drain 213 away from the third surface 201 is flush with the fourth surface 202, and the second drain 213 is in direct contact with and bonded to the first gate 111. That is, the fourth surface 202 of the second wafer 200 exposes the bottom surface of the second drain 213, and the electrical connection between the second drain 213 and the first gate 111 can be achieved by directly aligning and bonding the second drain 213 and the first gate 111.
[0090] By providing a first wafer 100 including a first transistor 110 and a second wafer 200 including a second transistor 210, and electrically connecting the first gate 111 of the first transistor 110 to the second drain 213 of the second transistor 210, the first gate 111 of the first transistor 110 can be equivalent to a capacitor, and the second transistor 210 can be used as a transistor connected to the capacitor to form a 2T0C semiconductor structure. At the same time, by setting the top surface of the first gate 111 of the first transistor 110 flush with the first surface 101, it is convenient to bond the first gate 111 of the first transistor 110 to the second transistor 210. By setting the top surface of the second gate 211 of the second transistor 210 lower than the bottom surface of the second source 212, the parasitic capacitance between the second gate 211 and the second source 212 can be reduced while improving the integration of the semiconductor structure, and short circuit between the second gate 211 and the second source 212 can be avoided, thereby improving the reliability of the semiconductor structure.
