[0046] Some embodiments of the present application provide a semiconductor device. Figure 1 is a top view of a semiconductor device 1000 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 is Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the bit lines 300 and the substrate 100. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor device 1000 and a structure of a memory cell 200 therein according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 is a top view of a semiconductor device 1000 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application.
[0047] As shown in Figures 1-4 , the semiconductor device 1000 includes a substrate 100, a transistor 210, and bit lines 300. The substrate 100 includes at least one memory plane region 101, wherein the memory plane region 101 includes a first area 01 at an edge of the memory plane region 101 and a second area 02 different from the first area 01. The transistor 210 is disposed in the memory plane region 101 and includes a source 201 and a drain 202. The bit lines 300 are connected to one of the source 201 and the drain 202, wherein the plurality of bit lines 300 includes a first type of bit line 301 and a second type of bit line 302. The first type of bit line 301 extends in a first direction (y direction) parallel to the memory plane region 101 in the first area 01, for example, a first bit line 310, a second bit line 320, a third bit line 330, a fourth bit line 340, a fifth bit line 350, a sixth bit line 360, and a seventh bit line 370. The second type of bit line 302 extends in the y direction and passes through the first area 01 and the second area 02, for example, an eighth bit line 380 and a ninth bit line 390. At least one of the plurality of first type of bit lines 301 is connected to at least one of the plurality of second type of bit lines 302. It should be noted that the present application does not limit the number of the first type of bit lines or the second type of bit lines, and the specific position of each of the first type of bit lines or the second type of bit lines in the first area or the second area of the memory plane region.
[0048] It should be noted that the semiconductor device 1000 can be a two-dimensional semiconductor device or a three-dimensional semiconductor device, or even a part of a two-dimensional semiconductor device or a part of a three-dimensional semiconductor device, which is not limited by the present application.
[0049] According to the semiconductor device provided by at least one of the embodiments of the present application, the semiconductor device comprises a substrate, a transistor and a bit line, wherein the substrate defines a storage plane area, the bit line comprises a first type of bit line located at the edge of the storage plane area and a second type of bit line different from the first type of bit line, the second type of bit line has an addressing function, the capacitance of at least one first type of bit line can be superimposed on the capacitance of at least one second type of bit line by connecting the at least one first type of bit line with the at least one second type of bit line, thereby increasing the self-capacitance Cgnd of the second type of bit line (the self-capacitance Cgnd can be understood as the sum of all the remaining capacitances of the total capacitance Ctotal of the second type of bit line except the inter-bit line capacitance), on this basis, the total capacitance Ctotal of the second type of bit line is also increased, thereby increasing the ratio between the total capacitance Ctotal of the second type of bit line and the coupling capacitance Ccouple, so that the interference of the coupling noise on the semiconductor device is reduced, and the sensing margin of the semiconductor device is improved. Figure 5 is a sensing margin test effect diagram of a semiconductor device without taking anti-interference measures; Figure 6 is a sensing margin test effect diagram of the semiconductor device 1000 according to the exemplary embodiments of the present application.
[0050] Reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the sensing margin of the semiconductor device is related to the self-capacitance Cgnd, the coupling capacitance Ccouple and the total capacitance Ctotal. Among them, the total capacitance Ctotal is the sum of the self-capacitance Cgnd and the self-capacitance Cgnd, the ratio of the self-capacitance Cgnd to the total capacitance Ctotal is α, and the sensing margin is proportional to the ratio α, so that after connecting at least one first type of bit line with at least one second type of bit line and superimposing the capacitance of the at least one first type of bit line on the capacitance of the at least one second type of bit line, the self-capacitance Cgnd of the second type of bit line and the total capacitance Ctotal of the second type of bit line can be increased, and accordingly, the ratio α and the sensing margin can be increased.
[0051] Specifically, in combination with Figures 1-4 , taking a DRAM as an example, the semiconductor device 1000 can comprise a storage unit 200 composed of a capacitor 220 and a transistor 210, and a plurality of storage units 200 can be arranged in the form of a two-dimensional array. In order to further reduce the size of the two-dimensional array, the transistor 210 can comprise a vertical gate transistor. In this structure, the extension direction of the channel of the transistor is perpendicular to the storage plane area 101 of the substrate 100, and the source 201 and the drain 202 of the transistor 210 can be formed at both ends of the channel extension direction of the transistor 210, and the gate structure 203 of the transistor can be formed on at least one side of the channel.
[0052] In other words, the transistor 210 can include the semiconductor pillar 204, the gate structure 203, the source 201, and the drain 202. The plurality of semiconductor pillars 204 are arranged in an array, and the gate structure 203 can be located on at least one sidewall of the semiconductor pillars 204 in the y direction.
[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, a vertical gate transistor, such as a vertical Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET), can replace a conventional planar transistor as a pass transistor of a memory cell to reduce the area occupied by the pass transistor, coupling capacitance, and interconnection wiring complexity. In some embodiments, unlike a planar transistor that forms an active region in a substrate, the vertical gate transistor can include a semiconductor pillar 204 that extends vertically in the z direction on the substrate 100. The semiconductor pillar 204 can extend above the top surface of the substrate 100 to expose not only a top surface of the semiconductor pillar 204 but also one or more sidewalls of the semiconductor pillar 204.
[0054] Optionally, the semiconductor pillar 204 can have a cuboid shape to expose four sidewalls thereof. However, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the semiconductor pillar 204 can have any suitable 3-dimensional shape, such as a polyhedron shape or a cylindrical shape. In other words, a cross-section of the semiconductor pillar 204 in a plane parallel to the x direction and the y direction (hereinafter referred to as the x-y plane) can have a square shape, a rectangular shape, a trapezoidal shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or any other suitable shape, where the x direction, the y direction, and the z direction intersect each other. It is understood that, consistent with the scope of the present application, for a semiconductor pillar having a cross-section in the above-mentioned plane with a circular or elliptical shape, the semiconductor pillar can still be considered to have a plurality of sidewalls such that the gate structure contacts more than one sidewall of the semiconductor pillar. As described below with respect to fabrication, the semiconductor pillar 204 can be formed from the substrate 100 by, for example, an etching or epitaxial process, and thus can have the same semiconductor material as the substrate 100.
[0055] As an option, the material of the substrate 100 can include, but is not limited to, silicon (e.g., single-crystalline silicon c-Si), silicon germanium (SiGe), gallium arsenide (GaAs), germanium (Ge), silicon-on-insulator (SOI), or any other suitable semiconductor material. For example, the substrate 100 can be a silicon substrate. Accordingly, the semiconductor pillar 204 can include at least one of the above-mentioned materials.
[0056] The vertical gate transistor can include a gate structure 203 in contact with one or more sidewalls of the semiconductor pillar 204. For example, the gate structure 203 can be located on the y-direction sidewalls of the semiconductor pillar 204. Further, on this basis, the gate structure 203 can also be located on the remaining sidewalls of the semiconductor pillar 204, which is not limited in the present application.
[0057] In some embodiments, the vertical gate transistor can further include a source 201 and a drain 202 formed at two ends of the semiconductor pillar 204 in the z-direction, respectively, which can be understood as doped regions of the semiconductor pillar 204, and can also be referred to as source and drain electrodes. Optionally, one of the source 201 and the drain 202 is connected with the bit line 300; the other of the source 201 and the drain 202 is connected with the capacitor 220.
[0058] As an option, the source 201 and the drain 202 can be doped with any suitable P-type dopant, which can include any one or combination of boron (B) or gallium (Ga). As another option, the source 201 and the drain 202 can be doped with any suitable N-type dopant, which can include any one or combination of phosphorus (P), arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb). The source 201 and the drain 202 can be separated by the gate structure 203 in the z-direction. In other words, the gate structure 203 is formed between the source 201 and the drain 202 in the z-direction. Thus, the gate structure has a gate control capability, and when a gate voltage applied to the gate structure 203 is higher than a threshold voltage of the vertical gate transistor, one or more channels of the vertical gate transistor can be formed in the semiconductor pillar 204 between the source 201 and the drain 202 in the z-direction.
[0059] In some embodiments, the vertical gate transistor is a transistor including multiple gate structures (hereinafter referred to as a multi-gate vertical gate transistor). In other words, the gate structure 203 can be in contact with more than one sidewall of the semiconductor pillar 204 to form more than one gate structure, so that more than one channel can be formed between the source 201 and the drain in operation. For example, the gate structure 203 can be located on all sidewalls of the semiconductor pillar 204.
[0060] Unlike planar transistors including only a single planar gate, due to the 3-dimensional structure of the semiconductor pillar 204 and the gate structure 203 surrounding multiple sidewalls of the semiconductor pillar 204, the multi-gate vertical gate transistor has a larger gate control area compared to the planar transistor, to achieve better channel control with smaller subthreshold swing. Further, for the purpose of increasing transistor and memory cell density, for example, the gate structure 203 can also be in contact with only a single sidewall of the semiconductor pillar 204, for example, the gate structure 203 is in contact with one of the two sidewalls of the semiconductor pillar 204 opposite in the x-direction, which is not limited in the present application.
[0061] In addition, the semiconductor device 1000 further comprises a word line 400 connected with the gate structure 203. In some embodiments, the gate structure 203 and the word line 400 can be a continuous conductive structure, the gate structure 203 can be regarded as an extension of the word line 400 to couple the semiconductor pillar 204; or the word line 400 can be regarded as an extension of the gate structure 203 to couple to the peripheral circuit.
[0062] Optionally, the plurality of word lines 400 comprises a first type of word line 401 extending along a second direction (x direction) intersecting the y direction in the first region 01, for example, the first word line 410, the second word line 420, the third word line 430, the fourth word line 440, the fifth word line 450, the sixth word line 460, the seventh word line 470 and the eighth word line 480. At least one of the plurality of first type of word lines 401 is connected with at least one of the plurality of second type of bit lines 302. It is to be noted that the number of the first type of word lines is not limited in the present application, and the specific position of each of the first type of word lines in the first region of the storage plane region is not limited in the present application.
[0063] Similarly, by connecting at least one of the plurality of first type of word lines with at least one of the plurality of second type of bit lines, the capacitance of the at least one first type of word line is superimposed on the capacitance of the at least one second type of bit line, thereby increasing the self-capacitance Cgnd of the second type of bit line, and on this basis, the total capacitance Ctotal of the second type of bit line is also increased, so that while improving the sensing margin of the semiconductor device, the ratio between the total capacitance Ctotal of the second type of bit line and the coupling capacitance Ccouple is increased, so that the interference of the coupling noise on the semiconductor device is reduced.
[0064] In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, the plurality of word lines 400 further comprises a second type of word line 402 extending along the x direction and passing through the first region 01 and the second region 02. The first type of word line 401 can comprise a first type of first word line and a first type of second word line, wherein the first type of first word line is located between the second type of word line 402 and the first type of second word line in the y direction. For example, the first type of second word line can comprise the first word line 410, the second word line 420, the fifth word line 450 and the sixth word line 460, and the first type of first word line can comprise the third word line 430, the fourth word line 440, the seventh word line 470 and the eighth word line 480, wherein the first type of first word line (for example, the third word line 430, the fourth word line 440) is located between the second type of word line 402 and the first type of second word line (for example, the first word line 410, the second word line 420) in the y direction; the first type of first word line (for example, the seventh word line 470 and the eighth word line 480) is located between the second type of word line 402 and the first type of second word line (for example, the fifth word line 450, the sixth word line 460) in the y direction. At least one of the plurality of first type of second word lines is connected with at least one of the plurality of second type of bit lines 302.
[0065] Similarly, in some embodiments of the present application, the first type of bit lines 301 can include first type of first bit lines and first type of second bit lines, wherein the first type of first bit lines are located between the second type of bit lines 302 and the first type of second bit lines in the x direction.

[0090] Figure 9 is a flowchart of a method 2000 for anti-interference of a semiconductor device according to an example embodiment of the present application. Figure 10 is a flowchart of a method 2000 for anti-interference of a semiconductor device according to an example embodiment of the present application.
[0091] As shown in FIG. 1, to balance the voltage environment in which the second type of bit lines and the second type of word lines are located, and to reduce the possibility of leakage or breakdown of the second type of bit lines and the second type of word lines, as an option, step S1 applies a first voltage signal to at least one of the plurality of first type of bit lines 301, where the value Vblfix of the first voltage signal satisfies: 0≤Vblfix≤Vdd, where Vdd is the highest working voltage of the second type of bit lines 302. For example, the first voltage signal can be: Figures 7-10 Step S11 applies a first voltage signal to at least one of the plurality of first type of second bit lines.
[0092] Step S12 applies a fourth voltage signal different from the first voltage signal to at least one of the plurality of first type of first bit lines.
[0093] As another option, step S2 applies a second voltage signal to at least one of the plurality of first type of word lines 401, where the value Vwlfix of the second voltage signal satisfies: Vwlfix≤Vpt, where Vpt is the highest working voltage of the second type of word lines 402. For example, the second voltage signal can be:
[0094] Step S21 applies a second voltage signal to at least one of the plurality of first type of second word lines.
[0095] Step S22 applies a third voltage signal different from the second voltage signal to at least one of the plurality of first type of first word lines, where the value Vwln of the third voltage signal satisfies: Vwln≤0.
[0096] It should be noted that to reduce the interference of coupling noise on the semiconductor device, improve the sensing tolerance of the semiconductor device, balance the voltage environment in which the second type of bit lines and the second type of word lines are located, and reduce the possibility of leakage or breakdown of the second type of bit lines and the second type of word lines, the method 2000 for anti-interference of a semiconductor device can include at least one of steps S11, S12, S21 and S22.

[0098]
[0099] By applying a third voltage signal with a value less than or equal to zero to at least one of the plurality of first type first word lines, the voltage environment of the second type word lines can be balanced, and the possibility of leakage or breakdown of the second type word lines can be reduced.
[0100] Alternatively, a fourth voltage signal different from the first voltage signal is applied to at least one of the plurality of first type first bit lines. Optionally, the value Vblp of the fourth voltage signal satisfies: Vblp≤Vblfix. By applying a fourth voltage signal different from the first voltage signal to at least one of the plurality of first type first bit lines, the voltage environment of the second type bit lines can be balanced, and the possibility of leakage or breakdown of the second type bit lines can be reduced. To enhance the above effect, the value of the fourth voltage signal can be less than or equal to the value of the first voltage signal.
[0101] In addition, considering that the number of first type word lines and first type bit lines is limited, it is difficult to increase the capacity of too many second type bit lines; and in the case that the required capacitance of the second type bit lines is too large, and a single first type word line or first type bit line cannot effectively increase the capacity of the second type bit lines, in order to better solve the problem of sensing margin reduction of the semiconductor device and reduce the interference of coupling noise on the semiconductor device, as an option, the semiconductor device 1000 can further include a second electronic switch (not shown) connecting at least one of the plurality of first type bit lines 301 and at least two of the plurality of second type bit lines 302; as another option, the semiconductor device 1000 can further include a first electronic switch (not shown) connecting at least one of the plurality of first type word lines 401 and at least two of the plurality of second type bit lines 302.

In addition, by controlling the first electronic switch or the second electronic switch through the bit line addressing signal, the working second type bit line 302 can be effectively increased in capacity according to the bit line addressing signal, and the interference of coupling noise can be reduced.
[0103] In addition, in one embodiment of the present application, in order to better solve the problem of sensing margin reduction of the semiconductor device and reduce the interference of coupling noise on the semiconductor device, a bit line (hereinafter referred to as a second type first bit line) in the second type bit line which is relatively greatly affected by the coupling noise is found, so as to effectively apply the first type word line or the first type bit line to the second type first bit line, and improve the anti-interference capability of the semiconductor device. As an option, the second type bit line which is relatively greatly affected by the coupling noise in the semiconductor device can be found by simulating the noise condition; as another option, the position of the second type bit line which is relatively greatly affected by the coupling noise in the semiconductor device has a rule, and is usually periodically present in the bit line. Optionally, the plurality of second type bit lines 302 are sequentially arranged along the x direction, wherein the plurality of second type first bit lines are equidistantly arranged along the x direction, for example, Figure 1 The plurality of second type bit lines 302 are sequentially arranged along the x direction, wherein the eighth bit line 380 and the ninth bit line 390 which are equidistantly arranged can be the second type first bit line which is relatively greatly affected by the coupling noise, and at least one of the plurality of first type bit lines or at least one of the plurality of first type word lines can be connected with at least one of the plurality of second type first bit lines.
