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.

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.

[0081] 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.

By staggering the first conductive plug 108 and the second conductive plug 109 along the first direction X, the exposure window for forming the first conductive plug 108 and the second conductive plug 109 can be further increased, thereby increasing the volume of the first conductive plug 108 and the second conductive plug 109 to improve the electrical conductivity.

[0096] In this embodiment, the sacrificial layer 111 is made of spin-on carbon.
[0097] Please refer to Fig. 20 and Fig.21 , Fig. 20 and Fig.18 The viewing direction is consistent with Fig.21 and Fig.19 In accordance with the viewing direction, after forming the sacrificial layer 111, a second isolation structure 112 is formed in each of the second isolation trenches.
[0098] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, before forming the second isolation structure 112 , the sacrificial layer 111 filled in the second isolation trench needs to be removed.
[0099] In this embodiment, the second isolation structure 112 is a conductive structure, and the material of the conductive structure is titanium nitride. Since the second isolation structure 112 is a conductive structure, a negative voltage can be applied to the second isolation structure 112 through the logic circuit wafer 200, so that the second isolation structure 112 can effectively isolate adjacent storage cells arranged along the first direction X, thereby reducing the impact of the row hammer effect on the storage cells.
[0100] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, before forming the second isolation structure 112, 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 then an insulating material is first filled in the second isolation trench to raise the second isolation structure 112, thereby ensuring that the projection of the second isolation structure 112 formed in the first direction X is located within the projection range of the word line gate structure along the first direction X. The second isolation structure 112 is then formed, and the second isolation structure 112 does not fill the second isolation trench completely. The second isolation structure 112 is electrically connected to the corresponding second conductive plug 109, thereby making the second isolation structure 112 electrically connected to the logic circuit wafer 200. After forming the second isolation structure 112, a protective layer 113 is formed on the second isolation structure 112 to fill the second isolation trench completely. The purpose of the second isolation structure 112 not filling up the second isolation groove is to lower the height of the second isolation structure 112 so that the height of the second isolation structure 112 toward the first surface 100a cannot be higher than the height of the subsequently formed initial word line gate structure toward the first surface 100a, thereby ensuring that the projection of the finally formed second isolation structure 112 along the first direction X is within the projection range of the finally formed word line gate structure along the first direction X.
[0101] In this embodiment, the insulating material deposited at the bottom of the second isolation trench is silicon oxide, and the material of the protection layer 113 is silicon nitride.
[0102] In other embodiments, the second isolation structure 112 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 groove; when the insulating structure is air, by adjusting the parameters of the deposition process, the deposited material seals the opening of the second isolation groove, and the interior of the second isolation groove is air. The insulating isolation effect of air is relatively strong, and can effectively improve the isolation effect of the second isolation structure 112.
[0103] Please refer to Figure 22 to Figure 24 , Fig.23 yes Fig. 22 Schematic diagram of the cross section along the MM line, Fig.24 yes Fig.17 In the cross-sectional diagram along the NN line, after the second isolation structure 112 is formed, two separate word line gate structures 114 are formed in each word line gate trench, and the two word line gate structures 114 are respectively located on opposite side walls of the word line gate trench along the first direction X.
[0104] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, before forming the word line gate structure 114, the sacrificial layer 111 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.
[0105] Please continue to refer to Fig. 22 In the present embodiment, the method for forming the initial word line gate structure 114 in each of the word line gate trenches includes: forming a word line gate dielectric material layer (not shown) on the sidewall and bottom surface of the word line gate trench; removing the word line gate dielectric material layer located on the bottom surface of the word line gate trench; forming a word line gate material layer (not shown) on the surface of the word line gate dielectric material layer and the exposed bottom surface of the word line gate trench; removing the word line gate material layer located on the bottom surface of the word line gate trench; removing a portion of the word line gate material layer located on the sidewall of the word line gate trench to form a first cut-off opening 115 and a second cut-off opening 116, thereby forming two separate word line gate structures 114.
[0106] Please continue to refer to Fig. 22 In this embodiment, the two mutually independent word line gate structures 114 are also located on the opposite side walls of the word line gate trench along the second direction Y; the two first conductive plugs 108 electrically connected to the two mutually independent word line gate structures 114 are distributed on the opposite sides of the word line gate trench along the second direction Y. In this way, the contact area between the first conductive plug 108 and the corresponding word line gate structure 114 is increased, and the electrical contact performance between the first conductive plug 108 and the corresponding word line gate structure 114 is improved.
[0107] In this embodiment, the logic circuit wafer 200 is electrically connected to the word line gate structure 114 through the first conductive plug 108 .
[0108] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, before forming the word line gate structure 114, 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. After forming the word line gate structure 114, an insulating material is deposited again to fill the word line gate groove. Moreover, the insulating material filling the word line gate groove needs to have a larger etching selectivity with the material of the protective layer 113 filling the second isolation groove, so as to prevent the insulating material filled in the word line gate groove from being etched back, causing etching damage to the protective layer 113, and exposing the second isolation structure 112.
[0109] In this embodiment, the word line gate dielectric material layer is made of silicon oxide, and the word line gate material layer is made of titanium nitride or tungsten.
[0110] In this embodiment, the projection of the second isolation structure 112 finally formed along the first direction X is located within the projection range of the word line gate structure 114 along the first direction X, so as to reduce the influence of the second isolation structure 112 on the adjacent memory 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.
[0111] In this embodiment, the second isolation structure 112 is formed first and then the initial word line gate structure 114 is formed.
