[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to some embodiments of this application. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes the following steps:
[0048] S101: A first semiconductor layer is provided, the first semiconductor layer having a first region and a second region adjacent to each other along a first direction;

The stacked structure includes a plurality of gate layers spaced apart along the second direction. The plurality of gate layers respectively form a plurality of stepped surfaces in the first region. The second direction intersects with the first direction.
[0050] S103: A plurality of gate contacts are formed in the first region. The plurality of gate contacts penetrate the plurality of stepped surfaces and are respectively connected to the plurality of gate layers. The gate contacts include a first contact end and a second contact end located on opposite sides of the stacked structure in the second direction.

In this way, two adjacent gate contacts 12 are led out from different contact terminals, reducing the concentration and complexity of the wiring connecting the first contact terminal 12a of the gate contact 12 to the first peripheral circuit 21.
[0112] For example, in a first region 01a, two gate contacts 12 connected to the first gate layer 1111 and the third gate layer 1113 are adjacent in the first direction x. The first contact end 12a of the gate contact 12 connected to the first gate layer 1111 is connected to the first peripheral circuit 21, while the first contact end 12a of the gate contact 12 connected to the third gate layer 1113 is not connected to the first peripheral circuit 21.
[0113] In some embodiments, the first contact terminal 12a connecting the first peripheral circuit 21 and the gate contact portion 12 further includes: the first contact terminal 12a of at least two gate contacts 12 respectively connected to at least two gate layers 111 disposed in the same layer is connected to the first peripheral circuit 21. In this way, a single third wire 143 can be used to connect the first contact terminals 12a of at least two gate contacts 12 to drive the at least two gate layers 111 disposed in the same layer, and the number of wires connected to the first contact terminals 12a of the gate contacts 12 is reduced.
[0114] For example, in the first direction x, the first gate layer 1111 and the second gate layer 1112 are disposed on the same layer, such that the first contact end 12a of the two gate contact portions 12 connected to the first gate layer 1111 and the second gate layer 1112 are connected to the first peripheral circuit 21 through the third wire 143.
[0115] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, after connecting the first initial semiconductor structure 1' and the second semiconductor structure 2, the above method further includes: removing the first semiconductor layer 01 of the first region 01a to form a first semiconductor layer opening 01d1 and exposing the second contact ends 12b of the plurality of gate contact portions 12.

[0117] For example, an etching process is used to remove the first semiconductor layer 01 of the first region 01a and the third region 01c, then an etching process is used to remove the gate contact insulating portion 123 covering the second contact end 12b of the gate contact portion 12, and an etching process is used to remove the first insulating portion 1812 covering the bottom wall of the first conductive connection portion 1811 and the second insulating portion 1822 covering the bottom wall of the second conductive connection portion 1821.
[0118] Please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the above method further includes: forming an isolation layer 13 in the opening 01d1 of the first semiconductor layer, wherein the second contact ends 12b of the plurality of gate contacts 12 all extend into the isolation layer 13.
[0119] In some embodiments, the isolation layer 13 also covers the second through-array contact point 182 and the first through-array contact point 181.
[0120] For example, the material of the isolation layer 13 includes, but is not limited to, silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, and combinations thereof.
[0121] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 As shown, after forming the isolation layer 13, the above method further includes: removing the first semiconductor layer 01 of the second region 01b to form a second semiconductor layer opening 01d2 and exposing the second channel connection ends 16b of the plurality of channel structures 16.
[0122] For example, an etching process is used to remove the first semiconductor layer 01 of the second region 01b, and an etching process is used to remove the functional layer 162 outside the second channel connection terminal 16b.
[0123] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 As shown, a common source electrode 17 is formed in the opening 01d2 of the second semiconductor layer, and the second channel connection terminals 16b of the plurality of channel structures 16 extend into the common source electrode 17 and contact the common source electrode 17.
[0124] In some embodiments, the material of the common source 17 includes, but is not limited to, metal or polysilicon. For example, the material of the common source 17 includes polysilicon.
[0125] In other embodiments, after removing the first semiconductor layer 01 of the first region 01a, the second region 01b, and the third region 01c, an isolation layer 13 may be formed at the location where the first semiconductor layer 01 was removed. An isolation layer opening may be formed on the isolation layer 13, and a common source electrode 17 may be formed in the isolation layer opening. The common source electrode 17 may be connected to the second channel connection terminal 16b of the plurality of channel structures 16.
[0126] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 9As shown, after forming the common source 17, the above method further includes: forming a first wire 141 on the side of the isolation layer 13 away from the stacked structure 11 in the second direction z, and connecting the first wire 141 to the second contact end 12b of the gate contact portion 12.
[0127] In some embodiments, the second contact ends 12b of at least two gate contact portions 12 respectively connected to at least two gate layers 111 disposed in the same layer are connected to the first wire 141 to reduce the number of wires connected to the second contact ends 12b of the gate contact portions 12.
[0128] For example, the second contact end 12b of the two gate contact portions 12 connected to the third gate layer 1113 and the fourth gate layer 1114 disposed in the same layer is connected to the first wire 141.
[0129] In some embodiments, the method further includes forming a second wire 142 on the side of the common source 17 away from the stacked structure 11 in the second direction z, and the second wire 142 is connected to the common source 17.
[0130] For example, the second conductor 142 is connected to at least two common source poles 17 to reduce the number of wires connected to the common source poles 17.
[0131] In some embodiments, the method further includes: forming a fourth wire 144 and a fifth wire 145 on the side of the isolation layer 13 away from the stacked structure 11 in the second direction z, and connecting the fourth wire 144 to the first conductive connection portion 1811 of the first through-array connection contact point 181, and connecting the fifth wire 145 to the second conductive connection portion 1821 of the second through-array connection contact point 182.
[0132] In some embodiments, the first wire 141, the second wire 142, the fourth wire 144, and the fifth wire 145 are obtained by patterning a conductive layer, and therefore, the first wire 141, the second wire 142, the fourth wire 144, and the fifth wire 145 are located in the same layer.
[0133] In other embodiments, the first conductor 141, the second conductor 142, the fourth conductor 144, and the fifth conductor 145 may also be located in different layers.
[0134] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 9 As shown, the above method further includes: forming a first bonding contact 1511 on the side of the first wire 141 away from the stacked structure 11 in the second direction z, and the first bonding contact 1511 is connected to the first wire 141.
[0135] In some embodiments, a first bonding layer 151 is formed on the side of the first wire 141 away from the stacked structure 11 in the second direction z. The first bonding layer 151 includes a plurality of first bonding contacts 1511, which are respectively connected to the first wire 141, the second wire 142, the fourth wire 144 and the fifth wire 145.
[0136] In some embodiments of this application, since multiple first bonding contacts 1511 are respectively connected to the first wire 141, the second wire 142, the fourth wire 144 and the fifth wire 145, the multiple first bonding contacts 1511 are respectively connected to the first through-array connection contact 181, the second through-array connection contact 182, the second channel connection end 16b of the channel structure 16 and the second contact end 12b of the gate contact portion 12.
[0137] In some embodiments of this application, the above steps are used to form Figure 9 The first semiconductor structure 1 shown includes a memory region 1a, a step region 1b, and a peripheral region 1c. A stacked structure 11 is located in the memory region 1a and the step region 1b, with the step surface 111a of the gate layer 111 located in the step region 1b. A first through-array connection contact 181 and a second through-array connection contact 182 are located in the peripheral region 1c.
[0138] It should be noted that storage area 1a corresponds to the second area 01b, step area 1b corresponds to the first area 01a, and outer area 1c corresponds to the third area 01c.
[0139] Finally, refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, by performing step S105, a second peripheral circuit 31 is formed on the third semiconductor layer 03. The second peripheral circuit 31 is disposed on the side of the stacked structure 11 away from the second semiconductor layer 02 in the second direction x, and the second peripheral circuit 31 and the second contact terminal 12b of the gate contact portion 12 are connected.
[0140] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 10 As shown, the second peripheral circuit 31 includes a second drive circuit 311, which is connected to the second contact terminal 12b of the gate contact portion 12 to drive the gate layer 111. The second drive circuit 311 includes at least one high-voltage transistor.
[0141] In some embodiments, the second peripheral circuit 31 further includes a second page buffer circuit 312, which is connected to the second channel connection terminal 16b of the channel structure 16 to drive the channel structure 16. The second page buffer circuit 312 includes at least one of a high-voltage transistor and a low-voltage transistor.
[0142] In related technologies, multiple wires are connected to the same end of the gate contact, resulting in dense wiring and significant wiring difficulties. However, in some embodiments of this application, because the first drive circuit 211 is connected to the first contact end 12a of the gate contact 12 and the second drive circuit 311 is connected to the second contact end 12b of the gate contact 12, bidirectional lead-out of the gate contact 12 is achieved. This reduces the density of wires connecting the gate contact 12 to the peripheral circuit, which is beneficial for improving the wiring design of semiconductor devices and enhancing their performance.
[0143] In some embodiments of this application, since the first page buffer circuit 212 is used to connect to the first channel connection terminal 16a of the channel structure 16 and the second page buffer circuit 312 is used to connect to the second channel connection terminal 16b of the channel structure 16, bidirectional lead-out of the channel structure 16 is also realized, reducing the density of the wires connecting the channel structure 16 and the peripheral circuit, which is beneficial to improving the wiring design of the semiconductor device and improving the performance of the semiconductor device.

[0153] For example, when the first contact end 12a of the gate contact portion 12 connected to the first gate layer 1111 is connected to the first peripheral circuit 21 via the third wire 143, the second contact end 12b of the gate contact portion 12 connected to the third gate layer 1113 is connected to the second peripheral circuit 31 via the first wire 141.

[0156] In some embodiments of this application, since the second bonding contact 321 is bonded to the first bonding contact 1511, the second peripheral circuit 31 and the first peripheral circuit 21 are connected through the second through-array connection contact 182 and the fifth wire 145, etc., and the second connection contact 332 and the first peripheral circuit 21 are connected through the first through-array connection contact 181 and the fourth wire 144, etc. Moreover, the second page buffer circuit 312 is connected to the second channel connection terminal 16b of the channel structure 16 through the second wire 142 and the common source 17, etc., and the second string drive circuit 311 is connected to the second contact terminal 12b of the gate contact portion 12 through the first wire 141, etc.

[0158] In some embodiments, before forming the pad portion 4 on the side of the third semiconductor layer 03 away from the second peripheral circuit 31, the surface of the third semiconductor layer 03 away from the second peripheral circuit 31 is thinned to expose the connection contact 33.
[0159] In some embodiments, forming a pad portion 4 on the side of the third semiconductor layer 03 away from the second peripheral circuit 31 includes: forming a pad portion 4 on the side of the thinned third semiconductor layer 03 away from the second peripheral circuit 31, and the pad portion 4 being connected to the connection contact point 33.

The first pad portion 41 is connected to a first connection contact 331, thereby connecting the first pad portion 41 to the second peripheral circuit 31, facilitating signal transmission between the second peripheral circuit 31 and external circuits through the first pad portion 41. The second pad portion 42 is connected to a second connection contact 332, thereby connecting the second pad portion 42 to the first peripheral circuit 21 through the second connection contact 332 and the first through-array connection contact 181, facilitating signal transmission between the first peripheral circuit 21 and external circuits through the second pad portion 42.
[0161] In other embodiments, the method further includes forming a pad portion 4 on the side of the second semiconductor layer 02 away from the first peripheral circuit 21, and connecting the first through array contact point 181 to the pad portion 4 and the second peripheral circuit 31.

[0176] The following combination Figure 11 Semiconductor devices 100 according to some embodiments of this application are described.
[0177] The semiconductor device 100 includes a first semiconductor structure 1, a second semiconductor structure 2, and a third semiconductor structure 3. In the second direction z, the second semiconductor structure 2 is located on one side of the first semiconductor structure 1, and the third semiconductor structure 3 is located on the side of the first semiconductor structure 1 away from the second semiconductor structure 2. The first semiconductor structure 1 is connected to both the third semiconductor structure 3 and the second semiconductor structure 2.
[0178] The first semiconductor structure 1 includes a memory region 1a and a step region 1b adjacent to each other along a first direction x. The first semiconductor structure 1 also includes a peripheral region 1c disposed at a distance from the step region 1b along the first direction x, and the peripheral region 1c is disposed around the memory region 1a.
[0179] The first semiconductor structure 1 includes a stacked structure 11 stacked along a second direction z. The stacked structure 11 includes a plurality of gate layers 111 and a plurality of gate dielectric layers 113 alternately arranged along the second direction z. The plurality of gate layers 111 are spaced apart in the second direction z, and a plurality of step surfaces 111a are formed in the step region 1b, respectively. The second direction z intersects with the first direction x.
[0180] For example, the second direction z is perpendicular to the first direction x, but is not limited thereto.
[0181] The first semiconductor structure 1 also includes a plurality of gate contacts 12 located in the step region 1b. The plurality of gate contacts 12 penetrate the plurality of step surfaces 111a and are respectively connected to the plurality of gate layers 111. The gate contacts 12 include a first contact end 12a and a second contact end 12b located on opposite sides of the stacked structure 11 in the second direction z. In other words, the gate contacts 12 penetrate the stacked structure 11 in the step region 1b.
[0182] In related technologies, the gate contact portion only contacts the step surface, making it difficult to achieve bidirectional lead-out. However, in some embodiments of this application, the gate contact portion 12 penetrates the stacked structure 11 of the step region 1b, and the peripheral circuit can be connected to the first contact end 12a and the second contact end 12b of the gate contact portion 12, that is, the gate contact portion 12 can be bidirectionally led out.
[0183] In some embodiments, the gate contact 12 includes a through portion 121 and a contact portion 122, both extending along a second direction z, and the through portion 121 is connected to the contact portion 122. The through portion 121 penetrates the stacked structure 11 of the step region 1b, and the end of the through portion 121 away from the contact portion 122 is a second contact end 12b. The end of the contact portion 122 away from the through portion 121 is a first contact end 12a, and the end of the contact portion 122 near the through portion 121 also contacts the step surface 111a of the gate layer 111, thereby connecting the gate contact 12 to the gate layer 111.
[0184] In some embodiments, the dimension of the through portion 121 along the first direction x is smaller than the dimension of the contact portion 122 along the first direction x, so that the contact portion 122 can contact the stepped surface 111a of the gate layer 111 to realize the connection between the gate contact portion 12 and the gate layer 111.
[0185] In some embodiments, the gate contact portion 12 further includes a gate contact insulating portion 123, which covers the through portion 121 and the sidewall of the contact portion 122 extending along the second direction z. With this design, on the one hand, an insulating layer is provided between the through portion 121 and the gate layer 111 it penetrates; on the other hand, one end of the contact portion 122 connected to the through portion 121 can contact the corresponding gate layer 111, thereby realizing the connection between the gate contact portion 12 and the corresponding gate layer 111.
[0186] The second semiconductor structure 2 is disposed near the first contact terminal 12a and includes a first peripheral circuit 21, which is connected to the first contact terminal 12a of the gate contact portion 12. The third semiconductor structure 3 includes a second peripheral circuit 31, which is connected to the second contact terminal 12b of the gate contact portion 12. This design enables bidirectional routing of the gate contact portion 12, reducing the wiring density of the wires connecting the gate contact portion 12 to the first peripheral circuit 21 and the second peripheral circuit 31, thereby simplifying the wiring in the semiconductor device 100. Furthermore, connecting the first peripheral circuit 21 and the second peripheral circuit 31 to opposite sides of the first semiconductor structure 1 respectively helps to expand the process window of the first peripheral circuit 21 and the second peripheral circuit 31, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the first peripheral circuit 21 and the second peripheral circuit 31.
[0187] In some embodiments, in two adjacent gate contacts 12, the first contact end 12a of one gate contact 12 is connected to the first peripheral circuit 21, and the second contact end 12b of the other gate contact 12 is connected to the second peripheral circuit 31. With this design, the two adjacent gate contacts 12 are led out from different contact ends, the wiring connecting the first contact end 12a of the gate contact 12 to the first peripheral circuit 21 has a low concentration, and the wiring connecting the second contact end 12b of the gate contact 12 to the second peripheral circuit 31 also has a low concentration, further simplifying the wiring of the semiconductor device 100.
[0188] In some embodiments, the first contact ends 12a of at least two gate contacts 12 respectively connected to at least two gate layers 111 disposed in the same layer are connected to the first peripheral circuit 21, and / or the second contact ends 12b of at least two gate contacts 12 respectively connected to at least two gate layers 111 disposed in the same layer are connected to the second peripheral circuit 31.
