[0047] In the dynamic random access memory architecture of the technical solution of the present invention, by placing the process of forming the capacitor structure at the end, it is possible to ensure that a high temperature process is normally used in the process before forming the capacitor structure without causing damage to the capacitor structure. In addition, the second source-drain doped layer is formed by injecting source-drain ions from the second surface to the first surface, which can effectively improve the distribution uniformity of source-drain ions in the second source-drain doped layer, thereby effectively improving the performance of the transistor.
[0048] Furthermore, the second isolation structure is a conductive structure. By applying a negative voltage to the second isolation structure, adjacent memory cells arranged along the first direction can be effectively isolated, thereby reducing the impact of the row hammer effect on the memory cells.
[0049] Furthermore, the bit line isolation structure is a cavity structure. The cavity structure has a strong electrical isolation effect, thereby effectively reducing the crosstalk between adjacent bit line layers.

By staggering the first conductive plug and the second conductive plug along the first direction, the exposure window for forming the first conductive plug and the second conductive plug can be further increased, thereby increasing the volume of the first conductive plug and the second conductive plug to improve the electrical conduction performance.
[0051] Furthermore, the two mutually independent word line gate structures are also located on the opposite side walls of the word line gate trench along the second direction; and the two second conductive plugs electrically connected to the two mutually independent word line gate structures are distributed on opposite sides of the word line gate trench along the second direction, thereby increasing the contact area between the second conductive plug and the corresponding word line gate structure, and improving the electrical contact performance between the second conductive plug and the corresponding word line gate structure.
[0052] Furthermore, the projection of the second isolation structure along the first direction is located within the projection range of the word line gate structure along the first direction, thereby reducing the influence of the second isolation structure on adjacent storage cells when a negative voltage is applied.

[0059] The dynamic random access memory architecture in the prior art is to first make the capacitor structure and then do the back process, which means that high-temperature processes cannot be used in the back process, otherwise it will affect the high-K dielectric layer in the capacitor structure, thereby causing the capacitor structure to fail. In addition, the back source and drain doping layer in the dynamic random access memory architecture is formed by ion implantation from the front side, which easily causes poor uniformity of ion distribution in the transistor and reduces the performance of the transistor.
[0060] On this basis, the present invention provides a dynamic random access memory architecture and a method for forming the same. By placing the process of forming the capacitor structure at the end, it is possible to ensure that a high temperature process is normally used in the process before forming the capacitor structure without causing damage to the capacitor structure. In addition, the second source-drain doped layer is formed by injecting source-drain ions from the second surface to the first surface, which can effectively improve the distribution uniformity of the source-drain ions in the second source-drain doped layer, thereby effectively improving the performance of the transistor.
[0061] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the cross section along line AA, Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional schematic diagram along line BB in FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a substrate 100 formed, wherein the substrate 100 has a first surface 100 a and a second surface 100 b opposite to each other, wherein the substrate 100 includes a plurality of active regions 101 separated from each other and parallel to a first direction X, and wherein the plurality of active regions 101 are arranged along a second direction Y, wherein a first isolation trench 102 is provided between adjacent active regions 101, wherein the first isolation trench 102 extends along the first direction X, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y, wherein each active region 101 includes a plurality of word line regions 1011 and isolation regions 1012 separated from each other, and wherein the word line regions 1011 and the isolation regions 1012 in each active region 101 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X.
[0064] In this embodiment, the method for forming the substrate 100 includes: providing an initial substrate (not shown); forming a first patterned layer (not shown) on the initial substrate; etching the initial substrate using the first patterned layer as a mask to form a plurality of first isolation trenches 102, and forming the substrate 100 from the initial substrate, wherein the active area 101 is formed between adjacent first isolation trenches 102.
[0065] In this embodiment, the substrate 100 is made of silicon.
[0066] In other embodiments, the material of the substrate 100 may also be germanium, silicon germanium, silicon carbide, gallium arsenide or indium gallium.
[0067] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first surface 100a is the front side of the memory unit in the final dynamic random access memory architecture, and the second surface 100b is the back side of the memory unit in the final dynamic random access memory architecture.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 4 In the cross-sectional diagram along line CC, a first isolation structure 103 is formed in the first isolation trench 102 .
[0069] In this embodiment, the method for forming the first isolation structure 103 includes: depositing an isolation material layer (not shown), the isolation material layer filling the first isolation trench 102 and being located on the first surface 100a, and planarizing the isolation material layer until the first surface 100a of the substrate 100 is exposed, thereby forming the first isolation structure 103.
[0070] In this embodiment, the first isolation structure 103 is made of silicon oxide.
[0071] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 and Figure 5 In accordance with the viewing direction, after forming the first isolation structure 103 , a first source-drain doped layer 104 is formed in each of the active regions 101 , and the first surface 100 a exposes the first source-drain doped layer 104 .
[0072] In this embodiment, the method for forming the first source-drain doped layer 104 includes: implanting source-drain ions into the substrate 100 from the first surface 100a to the second surface 100b, and annealing the implanted source-drain ions to form the first source-drain doped layer 104 in the active area 101.
[0073] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 , Figure 8 yes Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the cross section along line DD, Fig. 9 yes Figure 7 In the schematic cross-sectional view along line EE, after forming the first source-drain doping layer 104, a word line gate trench (not marked) is formed in each of the word line regions 1011, and a second isolation trench (not marked) is formed in each of the isolation regions 1012, the word line gate trench and the second isolation trench extend from the first surface 100a to the second surface 100b, and the word line gate trench and the second isolation trench penetrate the active region 101 along the second direction Y.
[0074] In this embodiment, the formation of the word line gate trench and the second isolation trench includes: forming a second patterned layer (not shown) on the substrate 100; etching the word line region 1011 and the first isolation structure 103 of the active area 101 using the second patterned layer as a mask to form the word line gate trench, and etching the isolation region 1012 and the first isolation structure 103 of the active area 101 using the second patterned layer as a mask to form the second isolation trench.
[0075] In this embodiment, the depth of the word line gate trench is less than the depth of the first isolation trench 102 ; and the depth of the second isolation trench is less than the depth of the first isolation trench 102 .
[0076] In other embodiments, the depth of the word line gate trench may also be equal to the depth of the first isolation trench 102 ; the depth of the second isolation trench may also be equal to the depth of the first isolation trench 102 .
[0077] Please continue to refer to Figures 7 to 9 After forming the word line gate trench and the second isolation trench, the word line gate trench and the second isolation trench are fully filled with a sacrificial layer 105 .
[0078] It should be noted that in this embodiment, since different device structures are formed in the word line gate trench and the second isolation trench respectively in the subsequent process, the word line gate trench and the second isolation trench are first filled with the sacrificial layer 105, and in the subsequent process, the sacrificial layer 105 in the corresponding trench is removed step by step to form the required device structure.
[0079] In this embodiment, the sacrificial layer 105 is made of spin-on carbon.
[0080] Please refer to Figures 10 to 12 , Fig.11 yes Fig.10 Schematic diagram of the cross section along line FF, Fig.12 yes Fig.10 In the cross-sectional diagram along line GG, after the sacrificial layer 105 is formed, a second isolation structure 106 is formed in each of the second isolation trenches.
[0081] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, before forming the second isolation structure 106 , the sacrificial layer 105 filled in the second isolation trench needs to be removed.
[0082] In this embodiment, the second isolation structure 106 is a conductive structure, and the material of the conductive structure is titanium nitride. Since the second isolation structure 106 is a conductive structure, a negative voltage can be applied to the second isolation structure 106, so that the second isolation structure 106 can effectively isolate adjacent memory cells arranged along the first direction X, thereby reducing the impact of the row hammer effect on the memory cells.
[0083] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, before forming the second isolation structure 106, a dense oxide layer (not shown) is formed on the surface of the second isolation trench to repair the surface of the second isolation trench, and the formed second isolation structure 106 does not fill the second isolation trench completely. After forming the second isolation structure 106, a protective layer 107 is formed on the second isolation structure 106 to fill the second isolation trench completely. The purpose of the second isolation structure 106 not filling the second isolation trench completely is to reduce the height of the second isolation structure 106, so that the height of the second isolation structure 106 facing the first surface 100a cannot be higher than the height of the subsequently formed initial word line gate structure facing the first surface 100a, so as to ensure that the projection of the finally formed second isolation structure 106 along the first direction X is located within the projection range of the finally formed word line gate structure along the first direction X.
[0084] In other embodiments, the second isolation structure 106 may also be an insulating structure, and the material of the insulating structure may be silicon oxide or air. When the insulating structure is silicon oxide, it is only necessary to deposit silicon oxide material to fill the second isolation trench; when the insulating structure is air, by adjusting the parameters of the deposition process, the deposited material seals the opening of the second isolation trench, and the interior of the second isolation trench is air. The insulating isolation effect of air is relatively strong, and can effectively improve the isolation effect of the second isolation structure 106.
[0085] Please refer to Figures 13 to 15 , Fig.13 is a top view omitting the insulating material in the word line gate trench, Fig.14 yes Fig.13 Schematic diagram of the cross section along the HH line, Fig.15 yes Fig.13 In the schematic cross-sectional view along line II, after the second isolation structure 106 is formed, an initial word line gate structure 108 is formed in each of the word line gate trenches.
[0086] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, before forming the initial word line gate structure 108, the sacrificial layer 105 filled in the word line gate trench needs to be removed, and the word line gate trench needs to be extended to increase the volume of the word line gate trench.
[0087] Please refer to Fig.16 and Fig.17In the present embodiment, the method for forming the initial word line gate structure 108 in each of the word line gate grooves includes: forming a word line gate material layer 109 on the sidewalls and bottom surface of the word line gate groove; removing a portion of the word line gate material layer 109 located on the sidewalls of the word line gate groove to form a first cut-off opening 110 and a second cut-off opening 111, so that the word line gate material layer 109 forms the initial word line gate structure 108.
[0088] Please continue to refer to Fig.16 and Fig.17 In the present embodiment, the first cut-off opening 110 and the second cut-off opening 111 are respectively located in the initial word line gate structure 108 on the side walls of the word line gate grooves that are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X, and the first cut-off opening 110 and the second cut-off opening 111 are also respectively located in both sides of the initial word line gate structure 108 along the second direction Y.
[0089] By retaining a portion of the initial word line gate structure 108 on the opposite side walls of the word line gate groove along the second direction Y, the second conductive plugs subsequently formed on the opposite sides of the initial word line gate structure 108 along the second direction Y can make more contact with the initial word line gate structure 108, thereby improving the electrical contact performance between the second conductive plugs and the word line gate structure subsequently formed by the initial word line gate structure 108.
[0090] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, before forming the initial word line gate structure 108, a dense oxide layer (not shown) is formed on the surface of the word line gate groove to repair the surface of the word line gate groove. Then, a word line gate material layer 109 is formed on the sidewall and bottom surface of the word line gate groove, wherein the word line gate material layer 109 includes a word line gate dielectric material layer (not shown) and a word line gate material layer (not shown). After forming the word line gate material layer 109, an insulating material is deposited in the word line gate groove to fill the word line gate groove. Then, the insulating material above the position where the word line gate material layer 109 needs to be cut is removed, and then the first cut-off opening 110 and the second cut-off opening 111 are formed, so that the word line gate material layer 109 is formed into the initial word line gate structure 108. After forming the initial word line gate structure 108, an insulating material is deposited again to fill the word line gate groove.
[0091] In this embodiment, the word line gate dielectric material layer is made of silicon oxide, and the word line gate material layer 109 is made of titanium nitride or tungsten.
[0092] In this embodiment, the second isolation structure 106 is formed first and then the initial word line gate structure 108 is formed.
[0093] In other embodiments, the initial word line gate structure 108 may be formed first and then the second isolation structure 106 may be formed.

Fig. 20 yes Fig.18 In the schematic cross-sectional view along line KK, after the initial word line gate structure 108 is formed, a plurality of bit line layers 112 parallel to the first direction X are formed on the first surface 100a, and each of the bit line layers 112 is electrically connected to a plurality of the first source-drain doped layers 104 in a corresponding active area 101.
[0095] In this embodiment, before forming the bit line layer 112, the first source-drain doped layer 104 exposed on the first surface 100a is metallized so that a portion of the first source-drain doped layer 104 forms a metal silicide layer 113. By forming the metal silicide layer 113, the contact resistance between the bit line layer 112 and the first source-drain doped layer 104 can be effectively reduced.
[0096] In this embodiment, the bit line layer 112 is a double-layer structure, and includes a first metal layer (not labeled) and a second metal layer (not labeled) located on the first metal layer. The first metal layer is made of titanium nitride, and the second metal layer is made of tungsten.
[0097] Please continue to refer to Figures 18 to 20 After the bit line layers 112 are formed, a bit line isolation structure 114 is formed between adjacent bit line layers 112 .
[0098] In this embodiment, the bit line isolation structure 114 is a cavity structure. The specific formation process is to adjust the parameters of the deposition process so that the deposited silicon oxide material seals the opening between the adjacent bit line layers 112, thereby forming a cavity structure between the adjacent bit line layers 112. The cavity structure has a strong electrical isolation effect, thereby effectively reducing the crosstalk between the adjacent bit line layers 112.
[0099] In other embodiments, the deposited silicon oxide material may be directly used to fill the gap between adjacent bit line layers 112 to serve as the bit line isolation structure 114 .
[0100] Please refer to Figure 21 to Figure 25 , Fig.21 This is a top view of the dynamic random access memory architecture without the logic circuit wafer. Fig. 22 yes Fig.21 Schematic diagram of the cross section along line LL, Fig.23 yes Fig.21 Schematic diagram of the cross section along the MM line, Fig.24 yes Fig.21 Schematic diagram of the cross section along the NN line, Fig.25 yes Fig.21 In the cross-sectional diagram along line OO, after the bit line layer 112 is formed, a logic circuit wafer 200 is provided; the logic circuit wafer 200 is bonded to the substrate 100 toward the first surface 100a, and the logic circuit wafer 200 is electrically connected to the bit line layer 112 and the initial word line gate structure 108, respectively.
[0101] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the logic circuit wafer 200 is bonded to logically control operations such as reading, writing and refreshing of each storage unit.
[0102] In this embodiment, the second isolation structure 106 is a conductive structure, the logic circuit wafer 200 is also electrically connected to the second isolation structure 106 , and the logic circuit wafer 200 also includes an operation of applying a negative voltage to the second isolation structure 106 .
[0103] In this embodiment, along the first direction X, the first conductive plug 115 for electrically connecting the second isolation structure 106 and the logic circuit wafer 200 has a first central axis S1, and the second conductive plug 116 for electrically connecting the initial word line gate structure 108 and the logic circuit wafer 200 has a second central axis, and the first central axis S1 coincides with the second central axis S2.
[0104] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, before forming the first conductive plug 115, the protective layer 107 covering the second isolation structure 106 needs to be removed. Before forming the second conductive plug 116, the insulating material covering the initial word line gate structure 108 needs to be removed.
[0105] Please refer to Fig.43 In other embodiments, along the first direction X, the first conductive plug 115 for electrically connecting the second isolation structure 106 and the logic circuit wafer 200 has a first central axis S1, and the second conductive plug 116 for electrically connecting the initial word line gate structure 108 and the logic circuit wafer 200 has a second central axis S2, and the first central axis S1 does not coincide with the second central axis S2. By staggering the first conductive plug 115 and the second conductive plug 116 along the first direction X, the exposure window for forming the first conductive plug 115 and the second conductive plug 116 can be further increased, thereby increasing the volume of the first conductive plug 115 and the second conductive plug 116 to improve the electrical conductivity.
[0106] In this embodiment, the logic circuit wafer 200 is electrically connected to the bit line layer 112 through a plurality of third conductive plugs 117 .
[0107] In this embodiment, after the first surface 100a (i.e., the front side) of the substrate 100 is bonded to the logic circuit wafer 200, when the second surface 100b (i.e., the back side) process of the substrate 100 is performed, there is no need to provide an additional temporary wafer to support the back side process of the substrate 100. The logic circuit wafer 200 can provide support for the back side process of the substrate 100. Therefore, the process support can be simplified and the production cost can be reduced.
[0108] Please refer to Figure 26 to Figure 29 , Fig. 27 yes Fig.26 Schematic diagram of the cross section along the PP line, Fig.28 yes Fig.26 Schematic diagram of the cross section along line QQ, Fig.29 yes Fig.26 In the cross-sectional view along line RR, after bonding the logic circuit wafer 200, the substrate 100 is subjected to a first thinning process from the second surface 100b toward the first surface 100a.
[0109] In this embodiment, since the depths of the word line gate trench and the second isolation trench are less than the depth of the first isolation trench 102, the first thinning process is performed until the first isolation structure 103 is exposed. This ensures that the initial word line gate structure 108 located in the word line gate trench will not be exposed after the first thinning process, thereby effectively reducing the process risk of metal exposure.
[0110] In other embodiments, when the depths of the word line gate trench and the second isolation trench are equal to the depth of the first isolation trench 102 , the first thinning process is performed until at least the first isolation structure 103 , the second isolation structure 106 and the initial word line gate structure 108 are exposed.
[0111] The first thinning process includes: a physical mechanical polishing process, a chemical mechanical polishing process or a wet etching process.
[0112] In this embodiment, the first thinning process adopts a chemical mechanical polishing process.
[0113] Please refer to Figure 30 to Figure 32 , Fig.30 and Fig. 27 The viewing direction is consistent with Fig.31 and Fig.28 The viewing direction is consistent with Fig.32 and Fig.29 In accordance with the viewing direction, after the first thinning treatment, a portion of the initial word line gate structure 108 is etched from the first surface 100a to the second surface 100b, so that the initial word line gate structure 108 forms two separate word line gate structures 118, and the two word line gate structures 118 are respectively located on opposite side walls of the word line gate trench along the first direction X.
[0114] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, after the initial word line gate structure 108 forms two separate word line gate structures 118 , the logic circuit wafer 200 is electrically connected to the word line gate structure 118 .
[0115] In this embodiment, the purpose of forming the initial word line gate structure 108 into two separate word line gate structures 118 is to ensure that each word line gate trench has two word line gate structures 118 to respectively control the channels on both sides of the word line gate trench.
[0116] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, before etching the initial word line gate structure 108, the exposed first isolation structure 103 is first etched until the initial word line gate structure 108 and the second isolation structure 106 are exposed. After the first isolation structure 103 exposes the bottom surfaces of the initial word line gate structure 108 and the second isolation structure 106, a wet etching process is used to etch and remove the bottom surface of the initial word line gate structure 108 and the second isolation structure 106. Since the wet etching process has the characteristic of being isotropic, the bottom surface of the initial word line gate structure 108 located in the active area 101 can also be removed laterally, thereby ensuring that each initial word line gate structure 108 can form two separate word line gate structures 118. Furthermore, the selected wet etching process needs to have a relatively fast etching rate for the second isolation structure 106, so as to ensure that the height of the second isolation structure 106 after the final etching is lower than the height of the word line gate structure 108, that is, the projection of the second isolation structure 106 formed in the final direction X is located within the projection range of the word line gate structure 118 in the first direction X, so as to reduce the influence of the second isolation structure 106 on the adjacent storage cells when a negative voltage is applied. After the wet etching, an insulating material is deposited to fill the word line gate trench and the second isolation trench.
[0117] Please refer to Fig.33 and Fig.34 , Fig.33 A top view of a dynamic random access memory architecture is shown in order to omit the insulating material filled into the word line gate trench and the second isolation trench on the back side. Fig.34 yes Fig.33 In the schematic cross-sectional view along line SS, after the word line gate structure 118 is formed, the substrate 100 is subjected to a second thinning process from the second surface 100b toward the first surface 100a until at least the second isolation structure 106 is exposed.
[0118] The second thinning process includes: a physical mechanical polishing process, a chemical mechanical polishing process or a wet etching process.
[0119] In this embodiment, the second thinning process adopts a chemical mechanical polishing process.
[0120] In this embodiment, the purpose of exposing the second isolation structure 106 by the second thinning process is to disconnect each active region 101 along the first direction X by the second isolation structure 106 , thereby forming separate memory cells.
[0121] Please refer to Fig.35 , Fig.35 and Fig.34 In accordance with the viewing direction, after the second thinning treatment, the substrate 100 is implanted with source and drain ions from the second surface 100b to the first surface 100a to form a second source and drain doped layer 119 in each of the active areas 101, and the second surface 100b exposes the second source and drain doped layer 119.
[0122] The second source-drain doped layer 119 is formed by injecting source-drain ions from the second surface 100b to the first surface 100a, which can effectively improve the distribution uniformity of the source-drain ions in the second source-drain doped layer 119, thereby effectively improving the performance of the transistor.
[0123] In this embodiment, after the source and drain ions are implanted, the source and drain ions need to be annealed to form the second source and drain doped layer 119 .

Fig.39 yes Fig.36 The cross-sectional schematic diagram along line VV in the figure shows that after the second source-drain doped layer 119 is formed, a plurality of capacitor structures 120 are formed on the second surface 100 b , and each of the capacitor structures 120 is electrically connected to a corresponding one of the second source-drain doped layers 119 .
[0125] By placing the process of forming the capacitor structure 120 at the end, it is possible to ensure that a high temperature process is normally used in the process before forming the capacitor structure 120 without causing damage to the capacitor structure 120 .
[0126] In this embodiment, the capacitor structure 120 includes a pillar capacitor (eg Fig.40 As shown), cup capacitors (such as Fig.41 ) or a cylinder capacitor (such as Fig.42 as shown).
[0127] In this embodiment, before forming the capacitor structures 120 , fourth conductive plugs 121 are formed on the exposed second source-drain doped layer 119 , and each capacitor structure 120 is electrically connected to a corresponding fourth conductive plug 121 .
[0128] In other embodiments, the capacitor structure 120 may also be directly electrically connected to the corresponding second source-drain doped layer 119 .
