Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors and CMOS hybrid integrated circuits, and particularly relates to an array architecture based on a novel memory (Emerging Memory) integrated with CMOS and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Traditional microprocessors typically use a three-tiered architecture: cache, main memory, and solid-state drive (SSD) to store and process data. Main memory, represented by dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and SSDs, represented by flash memory, differ significantly in speed and density. Meanwhile, with the recent development of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things, data growth has far outpaced Moore's Law. However, memories like DRAM and flash memory face numerous limitations, such as physical limits, during miniaturization, and their performance and density improvements lag behind Moore's Law. Against this backdrop, research on novel memories based on new materials, principles, and structures, such as resistive random access memory (RRAM), phase change memory (PCRAM), magnetoresistive memory (MRAM), and ferroelectric memory (FeRAM), as well as on three-dimensional, stackable, high-density memory architectures based on these novel memories, has become increasingly important.
[0003] Traditional array architectures of new memory devices can generally be divided into three categories: 1R, 1T1R, and 1S1R.
[0004] 1R array, word lines and bit lines overlap to form a Crossbar structure. The area of each memory cell is determined by its overlapping part, which can achieve a minimum area of 4F. 2 However, various issues such as leakage paths and write crosstalk make large-scale arrays practically impossible.
[0005] 1T1R array, which is the most common structure at present. This structure uses transistors (transistors) as gating units to shut off the leakage path, but the area occupied by each memory cell is mainly determined by the three-terminal transistor as a switching device. Each memory cell occupies an area of 6F. 2 (F is the feature size), which weakens the advantage of RRAM's high scalability.
[0006] The 1S1R array connects RRAM and a nonlinear switch selector in series. The selector has excellent scalability and a simple structure, does not increase the extra area, and can be stacked in three dimensions. The effective unit area of each memory cell is only 4F. 2The 1S1R array is considered to have the greatest potential for integration. However, the complex material system of the gate transistors leads to significant fluctuations in device performance, which increases the memory read voltage threshold. Furthermore, the gate transistors provide limited nonlinearity, and leakage remains significant in larger arrays. These issues have limited the practical application of 1S1R arrays. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In order to improve the storage density of the 1S1R array architecture of new memory represented by resistive random access memory (RRAM), the present invention proposes a new three-dimensional memory array architecture based on 2T2S2R cells and its process implementation method.
[0008] The technical solutions provided by the present invention are as follows:

When querying, each time a group of column vertical transistors controlled by the same WL is turned on, the query data is represented by the voltages on BL and BL', V BL =Vread, V BL’ = GND means searching for '0', V BL =GND, V BL’=Vread means searching for '1', V BL =GND, V BL’ =GND means searching for 'X'. When the stored data matches the query data, the total current on SL is 0; otherwise, it indicates a mismatch.

[0053] Specific implementation cases
[0054] The present invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0055] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of the present invention. Figure 1As shown, in the high-density memory array based on 2T2S2R cells proposed by the present invention, a vertical column of vertical transistors is formed. A word line WL is connected to the gate of each vertical column of transistors, controlling the switching state of the column of transistors. A functional layer of 1S1R cells connected to a bit line BL is provided horizontally to the vertical transistors. The bit line BL is connected to the vertical column of transistors through the 1S1R cells. A source line SL layer is provided between the functional layers of two vertical transistors connected in series, one above and one below. The SL is directly connected to the vertical column of transistors. Each 1S1R cell connected to the vertical transistors is connected to a separate BL. Two adjacent 1S1R cells share a single SL, forming a de facto 2T2S2R cell. This cell is expanded in both the vertical and horizontal directions to form an n(2T2S2R) array. When operating the array, the transistors in the column of the selected device are turned on, while the remaining columns are turned off. An operating voltage is applied between the source line SL and the bit line BL corresponding to the selected device, and the voltages of the remaining SL and BL are set using a 1 / 2 bias method. For example, to set a device (SET), the corresponding SL and BL voltages are set to 0 and V, respectively. SET , the voltages of the other SL and BL are set to V SET The above operation method can access any memory cell in the array while suppressing crosstalk current between different cells. In addition, multiple BLs or SLs can be enabled simultaneously to achieve parallel access to multiple devices. Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the expanded n(2T2S2R) array of the present invention, which is formed by expanding the 2T2S2R units in the horizontal X direction, vertical direction and horizontal Y direction respectively.
[0056] Figure 3 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the structure of the present invention: The 1S1R unit consists of a gate transistor connected in series with a novel memory device. The novel memory device is vertically connected to the vertical transistor channel at one end and to the horizontal bit line at the other. Counting from bottom to top, the functional layer of the 1S1R unit connected to the bit line BL consists of a resistive material, a gate material, and a horizontally connected bit line material. The resistive material is connected to the vertical transistor channel. An additional source line is located between the 2n-1 and 2n bit lines, forming a "bit line-source line-bit line" sandwich block. Only an isolation dielectric layer exists between the 2n and 2n+1 bit lines. The gate of the vertical transistor is enclosed by the channel behind the dielectric layer and is located in the center of the vertical structure.
[0057] Figure 4 This is a top view of the structure of the present invention. The 2T2S2R multi-layer vertical structure can achieve high-density arrangement on the horizontal area. Figure 5 The vertical transistor central gate WL performs overall gating control on the vertical transistor channel, and each layer of the novel memory can be accessed by its layer BL and block SL.
[0058] Figure 6 This is the operational strategy used by the present invention to implement TCAM. In TCAM, each 2T2S2R cell in the three-dimensional memory array is used to store one bit of data. A '0' is represented by the upper memory being in a high-impedance state and the lower memory being in a low-impedance state; a '1' is represented by the upper memory being in a low-impedance state and the lower memory being in a high-impedance state; and an 'X' is represented by both memories being in a high-impedance state. An n-bit of data is stored by n 2T2S2R cells along the horizontal Y direction, with different data arranged along the horizontal X direction and the vertical direction. When performing a query, a group of vertical transistors controlled by the same WL is turned on each time, and the query data is represented by the voltages on BL and BL', V BL =Vread, V BL’ = GND means searching for '0', V BL =GND, V BL’ =Vread means searching for '1', V BL =GND, V BL’ = GND indicates a search for 'X'. When the stored data matches the query data, the total current on SL is 0; otherwise, there is a mismatch. This method allows for addressing query data in the memory with a high degree of parallelism.
