[0096] Optionally, the plurality of storage transistors share a semiconductor substrate to form a common source structure.
[0097] Figure 5 and 6 A schematic diagram of a memory cell in a memory array performing a write operation is shown.
[0098] The memory device includes a word line driver module, a bit line driver module, and a memory array. The word line driver module is connected to the gate of the memory transistor 10 via a word line WL, the bit line driver module is connected to the channel electrode of the memory transistor 10 via a bit line BL1, and is connected to the drain of the memory transistor 10 via a bit line BL2.
[0099] In a write operation, a gate voltage Vgs is provided via the word line WL, a control region voltage Vc is provided via the bit line BL1, and a drain voltage Vds is provided via the bit line BL2. The source of the storage transistor 10 is grounded. At this time, the storage transistors 10 in the storage array are in an on state, and the unselected storage transistors in the storage array are in an off state. Preferably, in a write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.5 to 50V, and the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 50V. More preferably, in a write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.5 to 25V, and the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 25V. More preferably, in a write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.5 to 15V, and the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 15V. More preferably, in the write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.5 to 10V, and the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 10V. More preferably, in the write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.7 to 5V, and the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 5V. More preferably, in the write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.7 to 2.5V, and the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 2.5V. More preferably, in the write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.7 to 1.8V, and the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 2V. Most preferably, in the write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.7 to 1.5V, and the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 1.5V.
[0100] Further, in a write operation, a gate voltage Vgs is provided via the word line WL, a control region voltage Vc is provided via the bit line BL1, and a drain voltage Vds is provided via the bit line BL2. The source of the storage transistor 10 is grounded. At this time, the storage transistors 10 in the storage array are in an on state, and the unselected storage transistors in the storage array are in an off state. Preferably, in a write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.5 to 50V, the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 50V, and the control region voltage Vc is -50 to 50V. More preferably, in a write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.5 to 25V, the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 25V, and the control region voltage Vc is -20 to 20V. More preferably, in the write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.5 to 15V, the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 15V, and the control region voltage Vc is -10 to 10V. More preferably, in the write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.5 to 10V, the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 10V, and the control region voltage Vc is -10 to 10V. More preferably, in the write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.7 to 5V, the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 5V, and the control region voltage Vc is -5 to 5V. More preferably, in the write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.7 to 2.5V, the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 2.5V, and the control region voltage Vc is -5 to 5V. More preferably, in the write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.7 to 1.8 V, the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 2 V, and the control region voltage Vc is -2 to 2 V. Most preferably, in the write operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 0.7 to 1.5 V, the drain voltage Vds is 0.05 to 1.5 V, and the control region voltage Vc is -2 to 2 V.
[0101] Furthermore, the write operation includes, for example, data erasure and data programming. In data erasure, the control region voltage Vc of the storage transistor 10 is, for example, 1.5V, and the junction capacitance of the storage transistor 10 is discharged to release the charge. In data programming, the control region voltage Vc of the storage transistor 10 is, for example, -1.5V, so that the voltage difference of the gate voltage Vgs relative to the control region voltage Vc exceeds a predetermined value, and the junction capacitance of the storage transistor 10 is charged to store the charge. The write operation can change the storage state of the storage transistor 10, for example, the erase state of the storage transistor 10 is a high resistance state, which is used to represent the digital value 0, and the write state is a low resistance state, which is used to represent the digital value 1.
[0102] In the read operation, a gate voltage Vgs is provided via the word line WL, and a drain voltage Vds is provided via the bit line BL2. The source of the storage transistor 10 is grounded. The channel electrode of the storage transistor 10 is in a suspended state due to the disconnection of the bit line BL1. At this time, the storage transistors 10 in the storage array are in an on state, and the unselected storage transistors in the storage array are in an off state. Preferably, in the read operation, the gate voltage Vgs of the storage transistor 10 is 1.2V, and the drain voltage Vds is 2V.
[0103] Further, the read operation includes detecting the drain current Ids of the storage transistor 10. In the write operation of the storage transistor 10, the storage state of the storage transistor 10 is related to the resistance state. Even if the same bias conditions, that is, the same gate voltage, drain voltage and source voltage are used, the drain current of the storage transistor in different storage states is different.
[0104] Therefore, by comparing the drain current Ids with the current reference Iref, the storage state of the storage transistor 10 can be determined according to the size of the drain current Ids. For example, when the drain current of the storage transistor 10 is greater than the current reference Iref, the digital value stored in the storage transistor 10 is determined to be 1, and when the drain current of the storage transistor 10 is less than or equal to the current reference Iref, the digital value stored in the storage transistor 10 is determined to be 0. There can be multiple current references Iref, thereby realizing multi-state storage.
[0105] Therefore, the channel electrode output voltage V CG Compared with the voltage reference Vref, the channel electrode output voltage V CG The size of can determine the storage state of the transistor 10. For example, when the channel electrode output voltage of the transistor 10 is greater than the voltage reference Vref, it is determined that the digital value output by the transistor 10 is 1. CG When the voltage is less than or equal to the voltage reference Vref, it is determined that the digital value of the logic output of the transistor 10 is 0. There may also be multiple voltage references Vref to implement multi-state logic.
[0106] The semiconductor device body of the inversion mode resistive field effect transistor of the channel electrode can adopt a transistor structure, specifically a conductive electrode layer, a resistive memory layer stack structure or a general
[0107] A channel electrode is set in a pass transistor structure, a FINFET (fin field effect transistor) structure, a FLASH (flash memory) structure or a GAA structure, while the source region and the drain region can adopt an n / p type ion implantation structure or a NiGe alloy structure.
[0108] A semiconductor device provided by the present invention can simultaneously perform the functions of storing information and switching in a formed storage array, and realizes the integration of storage function and switch control function in one transistor.
[0109] based on Figure 7 , the original transistor storage mechanism: after writing, it is a blue line. After writing, the electric field of the dielectric layer attracts the channel electrons. After erasing, it is a red line. After erasing, the dielectric layer attracts holes and the electron current in the channel decreases. These are two states in the XY direction. This embodiment adds a channel electrode. According to the junction capacitance mechanism, the channel of the transistor includes a channel electrode. The channel electrode and the channel form a junction capacitance, so that the transistor has the ability to store charge. By controlling the junction capacitance channel electrode at the same time during programming, the junction capacitance charge is changed and the channel electrons are adjusted in the XZ direction. According to the ferroelectric regulation of the channel current mechanism plus the junction capacitance storage regulation of the channel current mechanism, three-dimensional storage control can be achieved.
[0110] like Figure 8 Due to the addition of ferroelectric materials, magnetoelectric materials, phase change materials, quantum effect materials, resistive effect materials, storage effect materials, superconducting effect materials, semiconductor effect materials, etc., the transistor can have two states of storing 0 and storing 1. Then the logical states 0 and 1 given when the transistor stores 0 are different from the logical states 0 and 1 when the transistor stores 1, so polymorphic storage can be achieved.
[0111] like Fig. 9 Due to the addition of ferroelectric materials, magnetoelectric materials, phase change materials, quantum effect materials, resistive effect materials, storage effect materials, superconducting effect materials, semiconductor effect materials, etc., the transistor can have two new storage states of 0 and 1 after adding a channel electrode to introduce the junction capacitance of the channel and the channel electrode and having a charge storage effect. Therefore, the logic states 0 and 1 given by the new storage 0 of the transistor and the logic states 0 and 1 when the transistor stores 1 are different, and are also different from the states when the storage is not regulated by the channel electrode before, so multi-state storage can be achieved. By regulating the storage state of the transistor through the channel electrode, more multi-state storage can be achieved.
[0112] By adding ferroelectric materials, magnetoelectric materials, phase change materials, quantum effect materials, resistive effect materials, storage effect materials, superconducting effect materials, and semiconductor effect materials and organically combining them with channel electrodes to control the storage state of the transistor, more states of storage can be achieved than in devices that originally only have ferroelectric materials, magnetoelectric materials, phase change materials, quantum effect materials, resistive effect materials, storage effect materials, superconducting effect materials, and semiconductor effect materials without channel electrodes, or only have channel electrodes without adding ferroelectric materials, magnetoelectric materials, phase change materials, quantum effect materials, resistive effect materials, storage effect materials, superconducting effect materials, and semiconductor effect materials.
[0113] In addition, the manufacturing technology of the transistor used in the embodiment of the present invention is further introduced. Fig.10 A schematic diagram of a typical process flow for preparing a transistor with a channel electrode added to an embodiment of the present invention is provided, (1) Preparing a substrate: First, select an appropriate semiconductor material as a substrate and perform chemical and physical treatments to remove impurities and impure substances. (2) Forming various parts of the transistor: Using oxidation, photolithography, doping, deposition and etching techniques, form the transistor channel, gate oxide layer, source, drain, channel electrode, and gate. (3) Forming contacts: Using photolithography and etching techniques, form metal contacts on the gate, source region, drain region, and control region to connect to an external circuit. (4) Surface planarization: During the preparation process, an uneven surface may appear. Surface planarization treatment is required. (5) Metallization: In the final step, the entire transistor is metallized to connect the transistor electrode to an external circuit.
[0114] The above is just a typical process flow for the preparation of a channel electrode transistor. The new structure can be implemented using existing process lines or adjusted based on existing process steps. The control area material can be a semiconductor material, a conductor material, or a combination of several materials. The actual preparation process may vary depending on factors such as the manufacturer, device size, and process technology.
