[0086] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily.

[0087] Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in the present disclosure should have the common meanings understood by a person having ordinary skills in the field to which the present disclosure belongs.

[0088] The embodiments of the present disclosure are not necessarily limited to the dimensions shown in the drawings, and the shapes and sizes of the components in the drawings do not reflect the true proportions. In addition, the drawings schematically show ideal examples, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the drawings.

[0089] The ordinal numbers such as “first”, “second” and “third” in the present disclosure are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements and do not indicate any order, quantity or importance.

[0090] In the present disclosure, for the sake of convenience, the words and phrases indicating the orientation or positional relationship, such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., are used to illustrate the positional relationship of the constituent elements with reference to the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing the present specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the constituent elements is appropriately changed according to the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, it is not limited to the words and phrases described in the disclosure and can be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.

[0091] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a physical connection or a signal connection, a contact connection or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate, or the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0092] In the present disclosure, a transistor refers to an element including at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and a source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. In the present disclosure, a channel region refers to a region where current mainly flows.

[0093] In the present disclosure, the first electrode may be a drain electrode and the second electrode may be a source electrode, or the first electrode may be a source electrode and the second electrode may be a drain electrode. In the case of using transistors with opposite polarities or when the direction of current changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" may be interchanged.

[0094] In the present disclosure, "connection" includes the case where components are connected together through an element having some kind of electrical function. There is no particular limitation on the "element having some kind of electrical function" as long as it can transmit and receive electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some kind of electrical function" include not only electrodes and wirings, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements having various functions.

[0095] In the present disclosure, "parallel" means approximately parallel or almost parallel, for example, the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and therefore, the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5°. In addition, "perpendicular" means approximately perpendicular, for example, the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and therefore, the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95°.

[0096] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, "A and B are an integrated structure" may mean that there is no obvious boundary interface such as a fault or gap in the microstructure. Generally, a film layer patterned to form a connection is an integrated structure. For example, A and B use the same material to form a film layer and form a structure with a connection relationship at the same time through the same patterning process.

[0097] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, “the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A” means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary of the orthographic projection of A, or the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.

[0098] For metal oxide semiconductors as the channels of transistors, some semiconductor materials are very sensitive to the surrounding environment, especially hydrogen and oxygen. Therefore, when manufacturing semiconductor devices, the effects of dry and wet etching on semiconductor materials should be avoided as much as possible. In 3D stacked semiconductor devices, the semiconductor layer is located in the through hole that penetrates each layer of transistors, and the semiconductor layer is distributed in various areas of the through hole sidewalls. There are effective channels located in the transistor layer and parasitic channels located between adjacent transistor layers. The parasitic transistors corresponding to the parasitic channels affect the power consumption of the device. One way to remove parasitic MOS is to remove the parasitic channel by etching, but the effective channel is easily affected during the etching process, affecting the device performance.

[0099] In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the parasitic semiconductor layer is retained, and after the semiconductor layer is deposited on the inner side wall of the hole, the process step of removing the parasitic channel is not performed, but a gate electrode for controlling the parasitic transistor is added and the method timing of the gate electrode is controlled to achieve the purpose of removing the parasitic MOS. Specifically, two gate electrodes are set in the semiconductor device, the first gate electrode controls the opening and closing of the transistor, and the second gate electrode controls the closing of the parasitic transistor between the transistors. The off voltage of the transistor (for example, it can be a negative voltage for an n-type transistor) is applied to the second gate electrode to turn off the parasitic transistor. When data is accessed (written or read), the on voltage (for example, a positive voltage greater than the transistor on threshold for an n-type transistor) is applied to the first gate electrode to turn on the transistor, and the parasitic transistor is not turned on (the first gate electrode is far from the parasitic channel of the parasitic transistor and cannot control the parasitic transistor); in the non-working state (stand-by state) of the transistor, such as the off state, the off voltage (for example, it can be a negative voltage for an n-type transistor) is applied to both the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode, thereby turning off the transistor and the parasitic transistor. This solution does not remove the parasitic semiconductor layer, and there is no impact on the channel of the transistor due to the removal of the parasitic semiconductor layer. It can also avoid leakage caused by the parasitic transistor, thereby improving device performance.

[0100] Figure 1A A schematic diagram of a semiconductor device provided for an exemplary embodiment is shown. Figure 1B For along Figure 1A Cross-section view along the AA direction; Figure 1C For along Figure 1A Cross-section along the BB direction; Figure 1D For along Figure 1A Cross-section view in the CC direction; Figure 1E For along Figure 1A Cross-sectional view along the DD direction. Figures 1A to 1E As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a semiconductor device including a three-dimensional stacked memory cell array, wherein the memory cell array may include a plurality of memory cell arrays vertically stacked on a substrate 1; the plurality of memory cell arrays may be distributed along a third direction Z. The third direction Z may be perpendicular to the substrate 1.

[0101] The memory cell array may include a plurality of bit lines 30, a plurality of word lines 40, and a plurality of memory cells. The plurality of memory cells of the memory cell array may be arrayed along a first direction X and a second direction Y. The bit lines 30 may be conductive lines extending along a second direction Y parallel to the substrate 1, and the plurality of bit lines 30 of the same memory cell array may be spaced apart from each other, and the plurality of bit lines 30 may be distributed along the first direction X. The bit lines 30 of different memory cell arrays may be stacked on the substrate 1, and the bit lines 30 at the same position of different layers may be spaced apart from each other.

[0102] The word line 40 may extend along a third direction Z, and each memory cell stacked in a vertical direction at the same position in the two-dimensional memory cell array shares the word line 40 ; each memory cell in the two-dimensional memory cell array corresponds to one word line 40 .

[0103] The memory cell can be applicable to 1T or 2T memory cells or other multi-transistor memory cells. The role of the transistor in the memory cell is not limited. The transistor has the following characteristics: each memory cell stacked in the vertical direction at the same position in the two-dimensional memory cell array shares a word line, shares a semiconductor layer continuously distributed on the inner side wall of a through hole, and there is a parasitic semiconductor layer between memory cells of different layers.

[0104] Taking a 1T1C memory cell as an example, the memory cell includes a transistor and a capacitor connected to the transistor, and the transistor may include a first gate electrode 26, a first electrode 51, and a second electrode 52. The first gate electrode 26 may be a part of a word line 40, and the first gate electrodes 26 of transistors at the same position in different layers may be a part of the same word line 40. The capacitor may include a first capacitor electrode 41 and a second capacitor electrode 42. The first electrode 51 may be connected to the first capacitor electrode 41 of the capacitor, and the second electrode 52 may be connected to the bit line 30. The second electrode 52 may be a part of the bit line 30.

[0105] The second electrodes 52 of the transistors of the same column of the same memory cell array may be connected to the same bit line 30. That is, the second electrodes 52 of the transistors of the same column distributed along the second direction Y are connected to form the bit line 30 extending along the second direction Y.

[0106] The transistor and the capacitor of the same memory cell may be distributed along a first direction X.

[0107] The following description is made by taking a semiconductor device including a plurality of vertically stacked transistors at the same position as an example, and taking a memory cell of 1T1C as an example.

[0108] like Figures 1A to 1E As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a semiconductor device, which may include:

[0109] A plurality of transistors are distributed in different layers and stacked along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1, wherein the transistor may include a first electrode 51, a second electrode 52, a first semiconductor sublayer 231 and a first gate electrode 26, wherein the first semiconductor sublayer 231 is respectively connected to the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 of the transistor;

[0110] A first through hole K1 and a second through hole K2 penetrating the different layers, wherein the second through hole K2 is connected to the first through hole K1; a semiconductor layer 23 and a back gate electrode 45 extending in the first through hole K1 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 and penetrating the different layers, wherein the semiconductor layer surrounds the side wall of the back gate electrode 45, the semiconductor layer 23 comprises a plurality of first semiconductor sublayers 231 arranged at intervals and a second semiconductor sublayer 232 located between adjacent first semiconductor sublayers 231, and the first semiconductor sublayer 231 and the second semiconductor sublayer 232 are connected to form an integrated structure; the first semiconductor sublayer 231 is the channel region of the transistor, and the second semiconductor sublayer 232 conducts the adjacent transistor to form a parasitic transistor, that is, the second semiconductor layer sublayer 232 is the channel region of the parasitic transistor;

[0111] The word line 40 is arranged in the second through hole K2 and extends through the different layers in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1. The first gate electrode 26 of each of the transistors is a part of the word line 40, wherein the distance between the word line 40 and the first semiconductor sublayer 231 along a direction parallel to the substrate 1 is smaller than the distance between the word line 40 and the second semiconductor sublayer 232 along a direction parallel to the substrate 1.

[0112] The semiconductor device provided in this embodiment, by setting a back gate electrode and making the word line 40 have weaker control over the second semiconductor sublayer 232 than over the first semiconductor sublayer 231, can turn off the parasitic transistor while turning on the transistor, avoiding leakage caused by the parasitic transistor, and there is no need to etch and remove the parasitic semiconductor layer to avoid affecting the channel area of ​​the transistor, thereby simplifying the process and improving device performance.

[0113] Among them, the first gate electrode 26 of transistors in different layers can be a part of the word line 40, that is, there is no need to make the first gate electrode 26 separately before and after the word line 40 is formed. After the word line 40 is made, a part of the word line 40 plays the role of the first gate electrode 26.

[0114] The back gate electrode 45 can penetrate the different layers and extend in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 in the area surrounded by the semiconductor layers of each stacked transistor and parasitic transistor. The back gate electrode 45 includes a plurality of second gate electrodes 28. That is, the second gate electrode 28 is a part of the back gate electrode 45. Before and after the back gate electrode 45 is formed, there is no need to make the second gate electrode 28 separately. After the back gate electrode 45 is made, a part of the back gate electrode 45 plays the role of the second gate electrode 28. The second gate electrode 28, the second semiconductor sublayer 232, and the two adjacent first semiconductor sublayers 231 constitute a parasitic transistor. The second gate electrode 28 can control the closing of the second semiconductor sublayer 232 so that the two adjacent first semiconductor sublayers 231 are disconnected in terms of signal.

[0115] In some embodiments, the back gate electrode 45 is configured to apply a first turn-off voltage during the working phase of the transistor, such as the turn-on phase, so that the parasitic transistor between adjacent transistors is turned off; and to apply a second turn-off voltage during the non-working phase of the transistor, such as the turn-off state, to turn off the transistor together with the word line 40.

[0116] In some embodiments, the semiconductor layer 23 can extend on the side wall of the back gate electrode 45 to form a ring-shaped semiconductor layer extending in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1. The semiconductor layer 23 can extend only in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 (there may be a region protruding in the horizontal direction during the extension process), or the main body of the semiconductor layer 23 extends in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1, and there may be an extension in a horizontal direction (parallel to the direction of the substrate 1) at the end.

[0117] In the present disclosure, surrounding can be understood as partial or full surrounding. For example, the semiconductor layer 23 surrounding the back gate electrode 45 can be partially or fully surrounding the back gate electrode 45. In some embodiments, the surrounding can be a full surrounding as a whole, and the cross-section of the semiconductor layer 23 after surrounding is a closed ring. The interception direction of the cross-section is intercepted along a direction parallel to the substrate. In some embodiments, the surrounding can be a partial surrounding, and the cross-section after surrounding is not closed, but presents a ring shape. For example, a ring with an opening can be understood as a U-shaped cross-section, etc., where the cross-section is intercepted in a direction parallel to the substrate.

[0118] The semiconductor device may further include a first gate insulating layer 24 surrounding the sidewall of the word line 40 and extending in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 . The word line 40 is insulated from the semiconductor layer 23 by the first gate insulating layer 24 .

[0119] It can be understood that the word line 40 and the back gate electrode 45 (or control line) are respectively located on both sides of the semiconductor layer 23, and are respectively connected to the semiconductor layer 23 through the first gate insulating layer 24. The channel area corresponding to the effective transistor of the semiconductor layer 23 can be controlled at the same time, and the parasitic semiconductor layer between the effective transistors can also be controlled at the same time.

[0120] The semiconductor device may further include a second gate insulating layer 27 surrounding the side wall of the back gate electrode 45 and extending in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 . The second gate insulating layer 27 is arranged between the side wall of the back gate electrode 45 and the side wall of the semiconductor layer 23 . The back gate electrode 45 is insulated from the semiconductor layer 23 by the second gate insulating layer 27 .

[0121] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device may further include:

[0122] Insulating layers and conductive layers are alternately distributed from top to bottom in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1; the first through hole K1 and the second through hole K2 penetrate each of the insulating layers and each of the conductive layers;

[0123] The first gate insulating layer 24 surrounding the side wall of the word line 40 and the word line 40 are sequentially distributed in the second through hole K2 from outside to inside;

[0124] The semiconductor layer 23, the second gate insulating layer 27 surrounding the side wall of the back gate electrode 45, and the back gate electrode 45 are sequentially distributed in the first through hole K1 from outside to inside;

[0125] The first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 are disposed on the conductive layer.

[0126] The solution provided in this embodiment can form the word line 40, the first gate insulating layer 24, the back gate electrode 45, the second gate insulating layer 27, and the semiconductor layer 23 at one time, thereby simplifying the process.

[0127] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the third sub-hole of the second through hole K2 located in the insulating layer on the substrate 1 may fall within the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-hole of the second through hole K2 located in the conductive layer on the substrate 1, that is, the aperture of the third sub-hole of the second through hole K2 located in the insulating layer is smaller than the aperture of the fourth sub-hole of the second through hole K2 located in the conductive layer. The solution provided in this embodiment, by setting the third sub-hole and the fourth sub-hole of different apertures, can make the distances between the word line 40 and the first semiconductor sub-layer 231 and the second semiconductor sub-layer 232 different (the first semiconductor sub-layer 231 is located in the area where the conductive layer is located, and the word line 40 protrudes relative to the fourth sub-hole in the third sub-hole (located in the conductive layer), so that the word line 40 is close to the first semiconductor sub-layer 231 and far from the second semiconductor sub-layer 232), so that the control of the word line 40 on the second semiconductor sub-layer 232 is weaker than that on the first semiconductor sub-layer 231, and avoids the word line 40 turning on the parasitic transistor when the transistor is turned on.

[0128] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first sub-hole of the first through hole K1 located in the insulating layer on the substrate 1 may fall within the orthographic projection of the second sub-hole of the first through hole K1 located in the conductive layer on the substrate, that is, the aperture of the first sub-hole of the first through hole K1 located in the insulating layer is smaller than the aperture of the second sub-hole of the first through hole K1 located in the conductive layer. The solution provided in this embodiment, by setting the first sub-hole and the second sub-hole with different apertures, can make the distances between the word line 40 and the first semiconductor sublayer 231 and the second semiconductor sublayer 232 different (the first semiconductor sublayer 231 is located in the second sub-hole, the second semiconductor sublayer 232 is located in the first sub-hole, the first semiconductor sublayer 231 is closer to the outside of the first through hole K1 relative to the second semiconductor sublayer 232, therefore, the first semiconductor sublayer 231 is closer to the word line 40 than the second semiconductor sublayer 232), so that the control of the word line 40 on the second semiconductor sublayer 232 is weaker than that on the first semiconductor sublayer 231, so as to avoid the word line 40 turning on the parasitic transistor when the transistor is turned on.

[0129] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the third sub-hole of the second through hole K2 located in the insulating layer on the substrate 1 can fall within the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-hole of the second through hole K2 located in the conductive layer on the substrate 1, and the orthographic projection of the first sub-hole of the first through hole K1 located in the insulating layer on the substrate 1 can fall within the orthographic projection of the second sub-hole of the first through hole K1 located in the conductive layer on the substrate. Compared with the previous two solutions, the solution provided in this embodiment can further increase the distance between the word line 40 and the second semiconductor layer 232, reduce the influence of the word line 40 on the parasitic transistor, and is more conducive to shutting down the parasitic transistor.

[0130] In some embodiments, the arrangement direction of the first through hole K1 and the second through hole K2 may be perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52. The arrangement direction of the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 is, for example, the first direction X, and the arrangement direction of the first through hole K1 and the second through hole K2 is, for example, the second direction Y. That is, on a plane parallel to the substrate 1, the first through hole K1 and the second through hole K2 may be arranged along the second direction Y, and the arrangement order of the first through hole K1 and the second through hole K2 along the second direction Y is not limited to Figure 1A As shown in FIG, the positions of the first through hole K1 and the second through hole K2 can be interchanged.

[0131] In some embodiments, the first through hole K1 and the second through hole K2 may be located between the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 .

[0132] In some embodiments, the size of the second sub-hole along the arrangement direction of the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 may be the same as the size of the fourth sub-hole along the arrangement direction of the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52. That is, the size of the second sub-hole along the first direction X may be the same as the size of the fourth sub-hole in the first direction X.

[0133] In some embodiments, the sidewall of the first semiconductor sublayer 231 may be connected to the sidewall of the first gate insulating layer 24 , and the insulating layer may be disposed between the sidewall of the second semiconductor sublayer 232 and the sidewall of the first gate insulating layer 24 .

[0134] In some embodiments, the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 are distributed on the outer wall of the first semiconductor sublayer 231 and are spaced apart along a first direction X parallel to the substrate 1 , and the word line 40 is distributed in the area between the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 on the outer wall of the first semiconductor sublayer 231 .

[0135] In some embodiments, the first electrode 51 may be connected to the first gate insulating layer 24, and the second electrode 52 may be connected to the first gate insulating layer 24.

[0136] In some embodiments, a groove with an opening away from the word line 40, the back gate electrode 45 and the second electrode 52 is provided between adjacent insulating layers, the bottom wall of the groove exposes the first gate insulating layer 24 and the first semiconductor sublayer 231, and the first electrode 51 extends along the bottom wall and side wall of the groove. That is, a transverse groove is formed between adjacent insulating layers, and the first electrode 51 only covers the bottom wall and side wall of the groove, and does not completely fill the groove. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this, and the first electrode 51 can fill the groove. The first electrode 51 also serves as the first capacitor electrode 41 of the capacitor. When the first electrode 51 serves as an electrode of the capacitor, the first electrode 51 extends along the bottom wall and side wall of the groove, which can increase the area of ​​the first electrode 51, thereby increasing the capacitance.

[0137] In some embodiments, the second capacitor electrode 42 fills the groove formed with the first electrode 51. A dielectric layer 43 is provided between the first capacitor electrode 41 and the second capacitor electrode 42. In some embodiments, the second capacitor electrodes 42 of capacitors at the same position in different layers can be connected to form an integrated structure, forming a vertical portion extending in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 and a plurality of horizontal portions extending from the vertical portion to the groove where the first electrode 51 of a different layer is located.

[0138] In some embodiments, the second capacitor electrodes 42 of every two adjacent memory cells along the first direction X are connected to form an integrated structure.

[0139] In some embodiments, the second capacitor electrode 42 of the integrated structure includes a vertical portion extending in a direction perpendicular to the substrate and a horizontal portion extending from the vertical portion to the grooves where the first electrodes 51 of adjacent memory cells are located.

For example, the bit line 30 is a straight line (eg Figure 1A As shown), the side wall of the straight line is connected to the semiconductor layer 23, or the bit line 30 has a branch of an integral design, and the branch is connected to the semiconductor layer 23, wherein the extension direction of the branch intersects with the extension direction of the bit line 30, such as approximately perpendicular.

[0141] The branches may be a plurality of branches on one side wall of the bit line, or a plurality of branches on both side walls at the same time, and each branch may form a transistor or a memory cell accordingly. Figure 1A In the embodiment, the bit line 30 is a straight line, and the sidewall of the straight line is connected only to the semiconductor layer 23 located on one side of the bit line 30. In this embodiment, transistors in two adjacent columns are connected to different bit lines 30, and the bit lines 30 connected to the two adjacent columns of transistors are separated by an insulating film layer. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the bit line 30 can be connected to the semiconductor layers 23 on both sides of the bit line 30, that is, one bit line 30 can connect the semiconductor layers 23 of two adjacent columns of transistors.

In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that "thin film" refers to a thin film made of a certain material on a substrate using a deposition or coating process. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process or a photolithography process during the entire manufacturing process, the "thin film" can also be called a "layer". If the "thin film" still requires a patterning process or a photolithography process during the entire manufacturing process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process.

Figure 8B For along Fig. 8A Cross-sectional view along the AA direction, Figure 8C For along Fig. 8A Cross-sectional view along the BB direction. At this time, the second through hole K2 forms a plurality of two types of holes of different sizes, the aperture of the third sub-hole of the second through hole K2 located in the first insulating layer 10 is smaller than the aperture of the fourth sub-hole located in the sacrificial layer 11, and the orthographic projection of the third sub-hole of the second through hole K2 located in the first insulating layer 10 on the substrate 1 falls within the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-hole located in the sacrificial layer 11 on the substrate 1. The second trench T2 forms two types of grooves of different sizes, the width of the first sub-groove of the second trench T2 located in the first insulating layer 10 along the first direction X is smaller than the width of the second sub-groove located in the sacrificial layer 11 along the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the first sub-groove of the second trench T2 located in the first insulating layer 10 on the substrate 1 is smaller than the width of the second sub-groove located in the sacrificial layer 11, and the second through hole K2 is connected to the second trench T2. At this time, the second trench T2 includes not only the longitudinal trench T20 penetrating the stacked structure in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, but also two transverse grooves: a third transverse groove T21 and a fourth transverse groove T22. Subsequently, a bit line 30 is formed in the third transverse groove T21 and the fourth transverse groove T22, respectively, and transistors in the same layer and column are connected to the same bit line 30. Therefore, the third transverse groove T21 and the fourth transverse groove T22 extend to the region where the transistors in the same layer and column are located along the second direction Y. By setting the third sub-hole and the fourth sub-hole with different apertures, the distances between the subsequently formed word line 40 and the first semiconductor sub-layer 231 and the second semiconductor sub-layer 232 in the semiconductor layer 23 can be different.
