[0086] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless there is any conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features therein may be combined with each other in any manner.

[0087] Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in the present disclosure should have the same meaning as commonly 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 illustrate ideal examples, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the drawings.

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

[0090] In this disclosure, for convenience, words and phrases indicating orientation or positional relationships, such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," and "outside," are used to illustrate the positional relationships of constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is merely for the convenience of describing this 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. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of constituent elements may be appropriately changed according to the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, the words and phrases described in this disclosure are not limited and may be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.

[0091] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to physical or signal connections, contact connections, or integral connections. They can be direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0092] In this disclosure, a transistor refers to an element comprising 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 this disclosure, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

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

[0094] In this disclosure, "connection" includes the connection of components via an element having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it enables the transfer of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with various functions.

[0095] In this disclosure, "parallel" means approximately parallel or nearly parallel. For example, the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and thus also includes the angle of 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 thus also includes the angle of 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 are no distinct microstructural boundaries, such as gaps or discontinuities. Generally, a film layer patterned to form a connection is considered integrated. For example, A and B may be formed using the same material into a single film layer and simultaneously formed into a connected structure through the same patterning process.

[0097] In the embodiment 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 range 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 channel 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 the transistors in each layer, and the semiconductor layer is distributed in various areas of the through-hole sidewall. 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 performance of the device.

[0099] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a parasitic semiconductor layer is retained, and after the semiconductor layer is deposited on the inner sidewall of the hole, the process step of removing the parasitic channel is not performed. Instead, 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 turning on and off of the transistor, and the second gate electrode controls the turning off of the parasitic transistor between the transistors. The off voltage of the transistor (for example, 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), a turn-on voltage (for example, a positive voltage greater than the transistor turn-on threshold for an n-type transistor) is applied to the first gate electrode to turn on the transistor without turning on the parasitic transistor (the first gate electrode is far away 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, an off voltage (for example, 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 as an exemplary embodiment is shown. Figure 1B For the Figure 1A Cross-section view in the AA direction; Figure 1C For the Figure 1A Cross-section along the mid-BB direction; Figure 1D For the Figure 1A Cross-section view in the mid-CC direction; Figure 1E For the Figure 1A Cross-sectional view in 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. 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 arranged in an array along a first direction X and a second direction Y. The bit lines 30 may be conductive lines extending along the second direction Y parallel to the substrate 1. The plurality of bit lines 30 in the same memory cell array may be spaced apart from each other and may be distributed along the first direction X. The bit lines 30 of different memory cell arrays may be stacked on the substrate 1, with the bit lines 30 in the same position in different layers spaced apart from each other.

[0102] The word line 40 may extend along a third direction Z. Memory cells stacked vertically at the same position in the two-dimensional memory cell array share 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 a 1T or 2T memory cell, or other multi-transistor memory cell. The role of the transistor within the memory cell is not limited. The transistor has the following characteristics: each memory cell stacked vertically at the same position in a two-dimensional memory cell array shares a word line and a semiconductor layer continuously distributed along the inner sidewall of a through-hole, and a parasitic semiconductor layer exists between memory cells in different layers.

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

[0105] The second electrodes 52 of the transistors in 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 in the same column distributed along the second direction Y are connected to form a 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 1T1C memory cell 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] Multiple transistors are distributed in different layers and stacked along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1. The transistors may include a first electrode 51, a second electrode 52, a first semiconductor sublayer 231, and a first gate electrode 26. 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 passing through 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 are arranged in the first through hole K1 and extend in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 and pass through the different layers, wherein the semiconductor layer surrounds the sidewall of the back gate electrode 45, the semiconductor layer 23 includes a plurality of first semiconductor sublayers 231 arranged at intervals and second semiconductor sublayers 232 located between adjacent first semiconductor sublayers 231, and the first semiconductor sublayers 231 and the second semiconductor sublayers 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 transistor is part of the word line 40, wherein the distance between the word line 40 and the first semiconductor sublayer 231 in a direction parallel to the substrate 1 is smaller than the distance between the word line 40 and the second semiconductor sublayer 232 in 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 achieve turning 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, avoiding affecting the channel area of ​​the transistor, simplifying the process, and improving device performance.

[0113] Among them, the first gate electrode 26 of the transistors in different layers can be 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, part of the word line 40 plays the role of the first gate electrode 26.

[0114] The back gate electrode 45 can extend through the different layers in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 and is located within the region enclosed 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 part of the back gate electrode 45. Before and after the back gate electrode 45 is formed, there is no need to separately fabricate the second gate electrode 28. After the back gate electrode 45 is fabricated, a portion of the back gate electrode 45 functions as the second gate electrode 28. The second gate electrode 28, the second semiconductor sublayer 232, and the two adjacent first semiconductor sublayers 231 form a parasitic transistor. The second gate electrode 28 can control the shutdown of the second semiconductor sublayer 232, thereby disconnecting the signal between the two adjacent first semiconductor sublayers 231.

[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 protruding area 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 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., wherein the interception direction of the cross-section is 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. They can simultaneously control the channel area corresponding to the effective transistor of the semiconductor layer 23, and can also simultaneously control the parasitic semiconductor layer between the effective transistors.

[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 sidewall of the word line 40 and the word line 40 are sequentially distributed in the second through hole K2 from the outside to the inside;

[0124] The semiconductor layer 23 , the second gate insulating layer 27 surrounding the sidewall 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, thus 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, i.e., 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 providing third and fourth sub-holes of different apertures, can ensure that the distances between the word line 40 and the first semiconductor sublayer 231 and the second semiconductor sublayer 232 are different (the first semiconductor sublayer 231 is located in the region 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). Therefore, the word line 40 is closer to the first semiconductor sublayer 231 and farther from the second semiconductor sublayer 232). This ensures that the word line 40 has weaker control over the second semiconductor sublayer 232 than over the first semiconductor sublayer 231, thereby preventing the word line 40 from turning on a 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 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, 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 providing first and second sub-holes of 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, and the second semiconductor sublayer 232 is located in the first sub-hole, and the first semiconductor sublayer 231 is further outward from the second semiconductor sublayer 232 in the first through hole K1, so that the first semiconductor sublayer 231 is closer to the word line 40 than the second semiconductor sublayer 232). As a result, the control of the word line 40 over the second semiconductor sublayer 232 is weaker than that over the first semiconductor sublayer 231, thereby preventing the word line 40 from turning on a 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 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 in the conductive layer on the substrate 1, and the orthographic projection of the first sub-hole of the first through hole K1 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 in the conductive layer on the substrate. Compared to 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 impact of the word line 40 on the parasitic transistor, and be 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-aperture 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-aperture along the arrangement direction of the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52. That is, the size of the second sub-aperture along the first direction X may be the same as the size of the fourth sub-aperture 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 provided 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. The first electrode 51 may be located on a first side of the first gate insulating layer 24, and the second electrode 52 may be located on a second side of the first gate insulating layer 24, wherein the first side and the second side of the first gate insulating layer 24 are opposite sides, and the third side of the first gate insulating layer 24 is connected to the semiconductor layer 23, and the third side of the first gate insulating layer 24 is adjacent to the first side and the second side.

[0136] In some embodiments, a groove with an opening facing 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 in which the first electrode 51 is formed. A dielectric layer 43 is disposed 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 location on different layers can be connected to form an integrated structure, forming a vertical portion extending in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 and multiple 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.

[0140] In some embodiments, the second electrode 52 of the transistor may be a portion of the bit line 30 to which the second electrode 52 is connected. 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, which 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 multiple branches on one sidewall of the bit line, or multiple branches on both sidewalls at the same time, and each branch may form a transistor or a memory cell. 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, the 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 to this. In some embodiments, the bit line 30 can be connected to the semiconductor layer 23 on both sides of the bit line 30, that is, a single bit line 30 can connect the semiconductor layers 23 of two adjacent columns of transistors.

[0142] Figures 1A to 1E The semiconductor device structure described is only an example, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For structures in which there are semiconductor layers extending through multiple layers in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1, resulting in the presence of parasitic transistors between adjacent transistors, the parasitic transistors can be turned off by setting a corresponding second gate electrode for controlling the parasitic transistors. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the position and shape of the second gate electrode, and parasitic transistors in different layers can be manufactured separately.

The "photolithography process" referred to in this embodiment includes film coating, mask exposure, and development, and is a mature manufacturing process in the relevant art. Deposition can be achieved using known processes such as sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition; coating can be achieved using known coating processes; and etching can be achieved using known methods, without specific limitations here. In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that a "thin film" refers to a thin film of a certain material formed on a substrate using a deposition or coating process. If the "thin film" does not require patterning or photolithography during the entire manufacturing process, it can also be referred to as a "layer." If the "thin film" also requires patterning or photolithography during the entire manufacturing process, the "thin film" before patterning is referred to as a "thin film" and the "layer" after patterning is referred to as a "layer." The "layer" after patterning or photolithography contains at least one "pattern."

[0160] 3) forming a third through hole K3 and laterally etching the sacrificial layer 11;

[0161] The forming of the third through hole K3 and the transverse etching of the sacrificial layer 11 may include: etching the stacked structure from the top layer to the bottom layer in the capacitor region 200 by dry etching (the etching stops on the substrate 1) to form the third through hole K3, and transversely etching the sacrificial layer 11 in the third through hole K3 to remove the sacrificial layer 11 in the capacitor region 200 until the etching reaches the transistor region 100, thereby forming a first transverse groove K31 and a second transverse groove K32. Figure 4A 、 Figure 4B and Figure 4C As shown, Figure 4A This is a top view after the sacrificial layer 11 is laterally etched. Figure 4B For the Figure 4A Cross-section view in the AA direction, Figure 4C For the Figure 4A A cross-sectional view taken along the BB direction is shown. Subsequently, a second capacitor electrode 42 of the capacitor can be formed in the third through hole K3 , and first capacitor electrodes 41 of two capacitors can be formed in the first transverse groove K31 and the second transverse groove K32 .

[0162] 4) forming a first capacitor electrode 41 and a first protective layer 8;

[0163] The forming of the first capacitor electrode 41 and the first protective layer 8 may include: depositing a first conductive film and a first protective layer film in sequence on the substrate 1 having the aforementioned structure to form the first capacitor electrode 41 and the first protective layer 8, wherein the first protective layer 8 fills the third through hole K3 and the first transverse groove K31 and the second transverse groove K32, as shown in FIG. Figure 5A 、 Figure 5B and Figure 5C As shown, Figure 5A This is a top view after the sacrificial layer 11 is laterally etched. Figure 5B For the Figure 5A Cross-section view in the AA direction, Figure 5C For the Figure 5A In this embodiment, the first capacitor electrode 41 and the first electrode 51 are shared.

[0167] In some embodiments, the first protective layer film can be an insulating material, including but not limited to SiN.

[0168] 5) Etching and removing the first capacitor electrode 41 and the first protective layer 8 in the third through hole K3;

[0169] The etching and removing of the first capacitor electrode 41 and the first protective layer 8 in the third through hole K3 may include: etching and removing the first capacitor electrode 41 and the first protective layer 8 in the third through hole K3 from the top layer to the bottom layer by dry etching, such as Figure 6A 、 Figure 6B and Figure 6C As shown, Figure 6A This is a top view after etching the third through hole K3.

It can be seen that the first capacitor electrode 41 and the first protective layer 8 in the third through hole K3 are completely removed, and the second capacitor electrode 42 is subsequently formed in the third through hole K3. Therefore, the first capacitor electrode 41 in the third through hole K3 is etched away to prevent conduction between the first capacitor electrode 41 and the second capacitor electrode 42, and to prevent conduction between the first capacitor electrodes 41 of capacitors in different layers. The first capacitor electrode 41 of one capacitor is distributed on the bottom wall and side walls of the first transverse groove K31, and the first capacitor electrode 41 of the other capacitor is distributed on the bottom wall and side walls of the second transverse groove K32.

[0173] A dielectric film and a conductor material are sequentially deposited on the substrate 1 forming the above structure to form a dielectric layer 43 and a second capacitor electrode 42 respectively. The second capacitor electrode 42 is insulated from the first capacitor electrode 41 by the dielectric layer 43. Figure 7A 、 Figure 7B and Figure 7C As shown, Figure 7A This is a top view after the dielectric layer 43 and the second capacitor electrode 42 are formed. Figure 7B For the Figure 7A Cross-section view in the AA direction, Figure 7C For the Figure 7A The second capacitor electrode 42 may fill the third through hole K3 , the first transverse groove K31 , and the second transverse groove K32 .

[0174] In some embodiments, the second capacitor electrodes 42 of capacitors at the same position in different layers may be connected to form an integrated structure, for example, by being connected via a vertical portion disposed in the third through hole K3 . Figure 7A and Figure 7B The shape of the capacitor shown is only an example, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. It can be seen that the second capacitor electrodes 43 of the capacitors of adjacent memory cells along the first direction X can be connected to form an integrated structure, for example, through the vertical portion provided in the third through hole K3.

[0175] In some embodiments, the dielectric film may be a High-K dielectric material, i.e., a dielectric material with a dielectric constant K ≥ 3.9.

[0178] Alternatively, it can be a metal oxide, metal nitride, metal silicide, metal carbide, etc., such as tin-doped indium oxide (ITO), indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO), indium oxide (InO), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (Al-doped ZnO, AZO), iridium oxide (IrOx), ruthenium oxide (RuOx) and other metal oxide conductive materials; for example, titanium nitride (TiN), tantalum nitride (TaN), tungsten nitride (WN), titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) and other metal nitride materials.

[0179] 7) Forming a second trench T2 and a second through hole K2;

[0180] The forming of the second trench T2 and the second through hole K2 may include: dry etching the stack structure, forming a second trench T2 in the bit line area 300 that penetrates the stack structure in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1, and forming a second through hole K2 that penetrates the stack structure in the transistor area 100, wherein the second through hole K2 includes a third sub-hole located in the first insulating layer 10 and a fourth sub-hole located in the sacrificial layer 11, and the apertures of the third sub-hole and the fourth sub-hole are consistent; the second trench T2 includes a first sub-trench located in the first insulating layer 10 and a second sub-trench located in the sacrificial layer 11, and the width of the first sub-trench along the first direction X is consistent with the width of the second sub-trench along the first direction X; the second trench T2 may penetrate the stack structure along the second direction Y.

[0181] The sacrificial layer 11 is laterally etched to enlarge the aperture of the fourth sub-hole of the second through hole K2 located in the sacrificial layer 11, and to enlarge the width of the second sub-groove of the second trench T2 located in the sacrificial layer 11 along the first direction X, as shown in FIG. Figure 8A 、 Figure 8B and Figure 8C As shown, Figure 8AThis is a top view after the second trench T2 and the second through hole K2 are formed. Figure 8B For the Figure 8A Cross-section view in the AA direction, Figure 8C For the Figure 8A Cross-sectional view along the BB direction. At this point, the second through hole K2 forms multiple holes of two 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. 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 different grooves of different sizes. The width of the first sub-trench 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-trench located in the sacrificial layer 11 along the first direction X. The orthographic projection of the first sub-trench 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-trench located in the sacrificial layer 11. The second through hole K2 and the second trench T2 are connected. At this time, in addition to the longitudinal trench T20 extending through the stacked structure in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, the second trench T2 also includes two transverse grooves: a third transverse groove T21 and a fourth transverse groove T22. Bit lines 30 are subsequently formed in the third transverse groove T21 and the fourth transverse groove T22, respectively. 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 along the second direction Y to the region where the transistors in the same layer and column are located. By providing third and fourth sub-holes of different apertures, the distances between the subsequently formed word lines 40 and the first semiconductor sub-layer 231 and the second semiconductor sub-layer 232 in the semiconductor layer 23 can be varied.

[0182] 8) forming a second protective layer 7;

[0183] The forming of the second protective layer 7 may include: depositing a second protective layer thin film on the substrate 1 forming the aforementioned structure to form the second protective layer 7, wherein the second protective layer 7 fills the second through hole K2 and the second trench T2, as shown in FIG. Figure 9A 、 Figure 9B and Figure 9C As shown, Figure 9A This is a top view after the second protective layer 7 is formed. Figure 9B For the Figure 9A Cross-section view in the AA direction, Figure 9C For the Figure 9A Cross-sectional view along the BB direction.

[0184] In some embodiments, the second protection layer film may be made of an insulating material different from that of the first insulating film, such as SiN.

[0185] 9) exposing the second trench T2;
