[0137] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The features of the embodiments of the present disclosure and the embodiments can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.

[0138] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present disclosure shall be understood as the common meaning understood by a person with ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs.

[0139] Embodiments of the present disclosure are not necessarily limited to the sizes of the components illustrated in the drawings, and the shapes, sizes, and the like of the components in the drawings do not reflect actual ones. In addition, the drawings schematically show ideal examples, and embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.

[0140] In the present disclosure, ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", "third", and the like are provided in order to avoid confusion of components, and do not indicate any order, number, or importance.

[0141] In the present disclosure, in order to facilitate the description, words indicating the orientation or positional relationship such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like are used to describe the positional relationship of the components with reference to the drawings, and are only for the convenience of the description of the present specification and simplification of the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the components is appropriately changed according to the direction in which each component is described. Therefore, it is not limited to the words described in the disclosure, and can be appropriately replaced according to the situation.

[0142] In the present disclosure, unless explicitly specified and limited otherwise, the terms "mount", "connected", "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a physical connection or a signal connection, it can be a contact connection or an integral connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate, or communication between two elements inside. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0143] In the present disclosure, a transistor refers to an element including at least a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the 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, the channel region refers to a region through which current mainly flows.

[0144] In the present disclosure, it can be that the first electrode is the drain electrode and the second electrode is the source electrode, or it can be that the first electrode is the source electrode and the second electrode is the drain electrode. In the case of using a transistor with opposite polarity or in the case of changing the current direction in the operation of the circuit, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes exchanged with each other. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can be exchanged with each other.

[0145] In the present disclosure, "connection" includes a case where components are connected together through an element having some electrical action. The element having some electrical action is not particularly limited as long as it can perform the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of the element having some electrical action include not only electrodes and wiring but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, other elements having various functions, and the like.

[0146] In the present disclosure, "parallel" means approximately parallel or almost parallel, such as a state in which two straight lines form an angle of -10° or more and 10° or less, and thus also includes a state in which the angle is -5° or more and 5° or less. In addition, "perpendicular" means approximately perpendicular, such as a state in which two straight lines form an angle of 80° or more and 100° or less, and thus also includes a state in which the angle is 85° or more and 95° or less.

[0147] In the present disclosure, "A and B are of an integral structure" can mean that there is no obvious fault or gap as an obvious boundary interface in a microscopic structure. Generally, a film layer formed by patterning on one film layer is integral. For example, A and B use the same material to form one film layer and are simultaneously formed by the same patterning process.

[0148] In the present disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is located 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 the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.

[0149] For metal-oxide semiconductor as the channel of a transistor, some semiconductor materials are very sensitive to the surrounding environment, especially hydrogen and oxygen, so when manufacturing semiconductor devices, it is necessary to avoid the influence of dry and wet etching on semiconductor materials as much as possible. In a 3D stacked semiconductor device, the semiconductor layer is located in a hole that penetrates each transistor layer, and the hole sidewall is distributed with a semiconductor layer, there are effective channels located in the transistor layer and parasitic channels located between adjacent transistor layers, and the parasitic MOS corresponding to the parasitic channel affects the power consumption of the device. One way to remove the parasitic MOS is to remove the parasitic channel by etching, but the effective channel is easily affected during the etching process, which affects the performance of the device.

[0150] In the example embodiment of the present disclosure, the parasitic semiconductor layer is reserved, and after the semiconductor layer is deposited on the inner sidewall of the hole, no process step of removing the parasitic channel is performed, and the parasitic channel is not etched, but a control electrode of the parasitic MOS is increased, that is, two gate electrodes are arranged in the semiconductor device, the first gate electrode controls the opening and closing of the effective transistor, and the second gate electrode controls the closing of the parasitic transistor between the effective transistors. When the transistor off voltage (for example, a negative voltage for an n-type transistor) is applied to the second gate electrode, the parasitic transistor is turned off, and when data access (writing or reading) is performed, the on voltage (for example, a positive voltage greater than the on threshold voltage of the 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 memory cell or transistor, for example, the off state, the off voltage (for example, a negative voltage for an n-type transistor) is applied to the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode, so as to turn off the transistor and the parasitic transistor. The scheme does not remove the parasitic semiconductor layer, there is no influence on the channel of the transistor due to the removal of the parasitic semiconductor layer, and the leakage caused by the parasitic transistor can be avoided, so as to improve the performance of the device.

[0179] In the present disclosure, the surrounding can be understood as partial or complete surrounding. For example, the first semiconductor layer 23 surrounding the control electrode 45 can be partial or complete surrounding of the control electrode 45. In some embodiments, the surrounding can be complete surrounding as a whole, and the cross section of the first semiconductor layer 23 can be a closed ring. The cross section is taken along a direction parallel to the substrate.

The scheme provided by the embodiment can make the distance between the first 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 at the region where the conductive layer is located, and the first word line 40 protrudes relatively to the fourth sub-hole at the third sub-hole (located at the conductive layer), so the first word line 40 is relatively close to the first semiconductor sub-layer 231 and relatively far from the second semiconductor sub-layer 232), so that the control of the first word line 40 on the second semiconductor sub-layer 232 is weaker than that on the first semiconductor sub-layer 231, and the first word line 40 is prevented from turning on the parasitic transistor when turning on the first transistor.
