[0002] The basic structure of resistance random access memory (RRAM) includes a bottom electrode, a resistance switching layer and a top electrode, which is usually a planar stacked sandwich structure, in which the area of ​​the resistance switching region is basically equal to the planar area of ​​the resistance random access memory, and the area of ​​the resistance switching region is negatively correlated with the forming voltage of the conductive filaments. If the forming voltage needs to be adjusted, the size of the resistance random access memory must be adjusted in structure. However, the current demand for semiconductor devices tends to be miniaturized, resulting in very limited adjustment space for the resistance switching region, and it is not possible to reduce the forming voltage of the conductive filaments well.

[0003] In addition, during the manufacturing process of the planar resistive random access memory, dry etching easily produces a damaged area on the side wall of the resistive layer. The damaged area is a component of the resistive region and is prone to forming defects, causing reliability problems of the device. Summary of the invention

[0011] In one possible embodiment, the semiconductor integrated circuit device also includes: an insulating layer located above the bottom electrode, the resistive layer also includes a portion that conformally covers the side surface of the insulating layer, and the upper surface of the insulating layer is flush with the upper surface of the resistive layer and the upper surface of the top electrode.

[0012] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device, the method comprising:

[0013] forming a bottom electrode on a substrate, wherein the bottom electrode comprises at least two bottom electrode layers formed by at least two electrode materials alternately in the longitudinal direction, and the bottom electrode layers formed by different electrode materials have different lateral dimensions;

[0014] A resistive switching layer is formed on a side surface of the bottom electrode, and a top electrode is formed on a side surface of the resistive switching layer, so that the bottom electrode and the top electrode are opposite to each other.

[0015] In one possible implementation manner, forming a bottom electrode on the substrate includes:

[0016] At least two bottom electrode layers are obtained by alternately depositing at least two electrode materials on a substrate layer by layer;

[0017] Depositing an insulating material on the at least two bottom electrode layers to form an insulating layer;

[0018] Etching holes in the at least two bottom electrode layers and the insulating layer to expose side surfaces of the at least two bottom electrode layers of each semiconductor integrated circuit device;

[0019] The at least two bottom electrode layers are etched to remove exposed portions of the at least two bottom electrode layers, so that the bottom electrode layers formed of different materials have different lateral dimensions, thereby obtaining the bottom electrode.

[0020] In one embodiment, forming a resistive switching layer on a side surface of the bottom electrode and forming a top electrode on a side surface of the resistive switching layer comprises:

[0021] Depositing a resistive switching layer material and a top electrode material on the bottom electrode and the insulating layer in sequence to form a resistive switching layer that fully covers the bottom electrode and the insulating layer, and a top electrode that fully covers the resistive switching layer;

[0022] The resistive layer material and the top electrode material above the insulating layer are removed to retain the portion of the resistive layer conformally covering the side surfaces of the bottom electrode and the insulating layer, and the portion of the top electrode conformally covering the side surface of the resistive layer.

[0038] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0039] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a semiconductor integrated circuit device, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a resistive layer 103, and a bottom electrode 102 and a top electrode 104 respectively located on both sides of the resistive layer 103 and opposite to each other, the bottom electrode 102 includes at least two bottom electrode layers formed by longitudinally alternating at least two electrode materials, such as a bottom electrode layer 201 and a bottom electrode layer 202, and the bottom electrode layers formed by different electrode materials have different lateral sizes; the resistive layer 103 conformally covers the side surface of the bottom electrode 102; the top electrode 104 conformally covers the side surface of the resistive layer 103.

[0040] The resistive switching layer may be made of one or more resistive switching materials. Commonly used resistive switching materials include transition metal oxides (TMOs) such as aluminum oxide (AlxOy), copper oxide (CuxOy), and hafnium oxide (HfxOy).

[0041] The bottom electrode and the top electrode may be made of any electrode material used to manufacture electrodes, including one or more of aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), gold (Au), platinum (Pt), tantalum (Ta), tantalum nitride (TaN), titanium (Ti), titanium nitride (TiN), tungsten (W) and tungsten nitride (WN). The thickness of the bottom electrode layer formed by different materials may be the same or different, and the present disclosure does not limit this. The number of layers of the bottom electrode can be reasonably set according to factors such as the size of the semiconductor integrated circuit device and the thickness of the bottom electrode layer, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0042] The resistive switching layer conformally covers the side surface of the bottom electrode, so that the area of ​​the resistive switching region is substantially equal to the sum of the side areas of each bottom electrode layer. Therefore, by increasing the number of stacked layers of the bottom electrode, the area of ​​the resistive switching region per unit space can be greatly increased, thereby effectively reducing the voltage for forming the conductive filaments. Moreover, since the resistive switching region is located on the side wall of the resistive switching layer and is formed by deposition without being etched, and there is no damaged area caused by etching, the stability of the device performance can be effectively improved.

[0043] In addition, in the disclosed embodiment, at least two electrode materials have different etching rates. Under the same conditions, the greater the etching rate of the material, the smaller the lateral size of the bottom electrode layer after etching. Therefore, the etching rate difference of the bottom electrode material can be utilized to uniformly etch after alternately depositing all the bottom electrode layers, thereby obtaining bottom electrode layers with different lateral sizes, simplifying the manufacturing process.

[0044] Preferably, the bottom electrode layer of the at least two bottom electrode layers is formed of a specific electrode material, and the etching rate of the specific electrode material is greater than the etching rate of the other electrode materials of the at least two electrode materials. Figure 1The material of the bottom electrode layer 201 can be titanium nitride (TiN), and the material of the bottom electrode layer 202 is tungsten (W). The etching rate of titanium nitride is usually greater than the etching rate of tungsten. Therefore, after etching under the same conditions, the lateral size of the bottom electrode layer 201 is smaller than the bottom electrode layer formed by other materials, such as the lateral size of the bottom electrode layer 202. The area of ​​the resistive region is equal to the sum of the lateral areas of each bottom electrode layer, and is closely related to the perimeter of the cross section of the bottom electrode layer and the height of the bottom electrode layer. Therefore, when the lateral size of the bottommost bottom electrode layer 201 reaches the maximum limit of the planar area of ​​the resistive random access memory, by stacking a bottom electrode layer 202 with a larger lateral size in height, the maximum limit of the planar area of ​​the resistive random access memory can be broken through, and the area of ​​the resistive region can be further increased.

[0045] In the disclosed embodiment, the bottom electrode may be an alternately stacked cylinder, whose cross section may be circular or elliptical, and the outer side of the bottom electrode is surrounded by a circular ring formed by the resistive switching layer and the top electrode; the bottom electrode may also be an alternately stacked cube, whose cross section is square or rectangular, and the outer side of the bottom electrode is surrounded by a square ring formed by the resistive switching layer and the top electrode. In theory, the cross section of the bottom electrode may be any suitable shape.

[0046] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the semiconductor integrated circuit device further includes: an oxide-grabbing layer 105 located between the bottom electrode 102 and the resistive layer 103 , or located between the resistive layer 103 and the top electrode 104 .

[0047] Figure 2 The grabbing layer 105 is shown to be located between the bottom electrode 102 and the resistive layer 103. The grabbing layer 105 can also be arranged between the resistive layer 103 and the top electrode 104, and the present invention does not limit this. The material of the grabbing layer mainly includes metals such as titanium (Ti), hafnium (Hf), zirconium (Zr), and unsaturated metal oxides such as titanium oxide (TixOy) and hafnium oxide (HfxOy). The grabbing layer is used to capture oxygen in the resistive layer to form oxygen vacancies, and is a gain structure that makes the storage unit perform better.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the semiconductor integrated circuit device also includes: an insulating layer 106 located above the bottom electrode, and the resistive layer 103 also includes a portion that conformally covers the side surface of the insulating layer 106, that is, the resistive layer 103 conformally covers the side surfaces of the insulating layer 106 and the bottom electrode 102, and the upper surface of the insulating layer 106 is flush with the upper surface of the resistive layer 103 and the upper surface of the top electrode 104.

[0049] It should be understood that the bottom electrode is electrically connected to the first metal layer below the semiconductor device through the through hole of the substrate, and the top electrode is electrically connected to the second metal layer above the semiconductor device. By providing an insulating layer above the bottom electrode, the bottom electrode and the second metal layer can be effectively isolated to avoid short circuit after power is applied.

[0050] The insulating layer can be made of one or more insulating materials, such as nitride and oxide.

[0051] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the semiconductor integrated circuit device may not include an insulating layer located above the bottom electrode. In this case, the upper surface of the bottom electrode is flush with the upper surface of the resistive layer and the upper surface of the top electrode, and the electrical connection between the top electrode and the second metal layer can be achieved through a through hole or a wire groove that only contacts the upper surface of the top electrode.

[0052] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided, comprising: forming a bottom electrode on a substrate, the bottom electrode comprising at least two bottom electrode layers formed by at least two electrode materials alternately in the longitudinal direction, and the bottom electrode layers formed by different electrode materials have different lateral dimensions; forming a resistive switching layer on the side surface of the bottom electrode, and forming a top electrode on the side surface of the resistive switching layer so that the bottom electrode and the top electrode are opposite to each other.

[0054] When at least two electrode materials are alternately deposited layer by layer on the substrate to obtain at least two bottom electrode layers, any applicable deposition process may be used, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD), etc. When the bottom electrode is etched to remove the exposed portions of the at least two bottom electrode layers, wet etching or dry etching may be used.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a resistive layer is formed on the side surface of the bottom electrode, and a top electrode is formed on the side surface of the resistive layer, including: depositing a resistive layer material and a top electrode material on the bottom electrode and the insulating layer in sequence so that the resistive layer fully covers the bottom electrode and the insulating layer, and the top electrode fully covers the resistive layer; removing the resistive material and the top electrode material above the insulating layer to retain a portion of the resistive layer that conformally covers the side surfaces of the bottom electrode and the insulating layer, and a portion of the top electrode that conformally covers the side surfaces of the resistive layer.

[0056] The deposition process may be any applicable deposition process, such as atomic layer deposition. Any applicable process, such as an anisotropic etching process, may be used to remove the redundant resistive layer material and the top electrode material.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, after removing the resistive layer material and the top electrode material above the insulating layer, the method further includes: flattening the top of the insulating layer, the resistive layer and the top electrode so that the upper surface of the insulating layer is flush with the upper surface of the resistive layer and the upper surface of the top electrode.

[0058] The planarization process may use any applicable planarization process, preferably a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process.

[0059] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the semiconductor integrated circuit device may not include an insulating layer, that is, after forming the resistive switching layer and the top electrode of the full coverage structure, the insulating layer material, the resistive switching layer material and the top electrode material above the bottom electrode are removed to retain the portion of the resistive switching layer that conformally covers the side surface of the bottom electrode, and the portion of the top electrode that conformally covers the side surface of the resistive switching layer; the top of the bottom electrode, the resistive switching layer and the top electrode are flattened to make the upper surface of the bottom electrode flush with the upper surface of the resistive switching layer and the upper surface of the top electrode. It should be understood that in order to achieve normal electrical connection and avoid short circuit after power-on, a dielectric layer can be deposited to cover the resistive switching structure, and a through hole or a wire groove can be etched in the dielectric layer above the top electrode so that the top electrode can be electrically connected through the through hole or the wire groove.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method further includes: forming a gripping oxide layer between the bottom electrode and the resistive layer, or between the resistive layer and the top electrode. Before depositing the resistive layer material, the gripping oxide layer material may be deposited on the bottom electrode to form the gripping oxide layer between the bottom electrode and the resistive layer; or, after depositing the resistive layer material and before depositing the top electrode material, the gripping oxide layer material may be deposited on the resistive layer to form the gripping oxide layer between the resistive layer and the top electrode. The gripping oxide layer material mainly includes metals such as titanium (Ti), hafnium (Hf), zirconium (Zr), and unsaturated metal oxides such as titanium oxide (TixOy) and hafnium oxide (HfxOy).
