[0002] Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is a type of random access memory that uses dynamic storage cells. It is primarily used as the main memory of a computer to store running programs and data. Currently, commonly used DRAMs are made of silicon-based materials. However, due to the silicon-based 1T1C cell structure, large capacitors occupy most of the space in the DRAM chip, thus limiting further increases in storage density. Furthermore, silicon-based DRAM also suffers from short retention times and high production costs, making it difficult to meet the growing demands of practical applications.

[0051] An electronic product comprising the aforementioned capacitorless dynamic random access memory.

[0052] The working principle of the capacitorless dynamic random access memory of the present invention is as follows: The first bottom gate electrode of the capacitorless dynamic random access memory is connected to the write word line (WWL), the second bottom gate electrode is connected to the read word line (RWL), the source-drain composite electrode is connected to the bit line (BL), and the drain electrode is connected to ground (GND). During reading and writing, RWL maintains a constant voltage drive, and the oxide capacitor C of the read transistor is... OX,Tr As a storage capacitor, RWL maintains a constant voltage drive. When WWL is turned on, charge from BL is injected into the storage node (SN region) to realize data writing. When WWL is turned off, charge flows into BL through the active layer of the read transistor and reads data through signal amplification. By using transistors with active layers containing columnar bump structures (i.e., read transistors), the gate control capability of read transistors is improved while the number of bit lines is reduced. This improves the read speed, reduces the power consumption of 2T0CDRAM, and increases the integration density of storage cells.

[0053] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: the capacitor-free dynamic random access memory of the present invention has the advantages of high storage density, extremely fast read speed, long retention time, low power consumption, and low production cost, and its structure and manufacturing process are simple, making it suitable for large-scale industrial production and application.

This transistor has extremely strong gate control capability and high on-state current, which is beneficial for fast reading of memory devices and the distinction between data "0" and "1". In addition, it also reduces the power consumption of 2T0C DRAM and increases the integration density of memory cells.

[0056] 2) The capacitorless dynamic random access memory of the present invention is provided with a water and oxygen barrier layer, which can not only block water and oxygen, but also effectively avoid the impact of subsequent processes on the columnar protrusion structure of the second active layer.

[0071] The source electrode 60, the source-drain composite electrode 70, and the drain electrode 80 are disposed on the side of the bottom gate dielectric layer 10 away from the first bottom gate electrode 20 and the second bottom gate electrode 30.

[0077] The fabrication method of the capacitor-free dynamic random access memory is as follows:

[0078] 1) The glass substrate was ultrasonically cleaned with deionized water and isopropanol for 15 min each, then placed in a vacuum oven at 90°C for 1 h, and then cooled. A 60 nm thick Al-Nd alloy film was deposited on one side of the substrate by magnetron sputtering. The first and second bottom gate electrodes were then patterned by ultraviolet lithography and reactive ion etching (RIE). An Al2O3 film was then deposited by atomic layer deposition, with the pressure in the deposition chamber controlled to be less than 20 Pa. Water and trimethylaluminum were circulated at 150°C, with each cycle lasting 8 s and each cycle depositing a thickness of 0.1 nm. The number of cycles was controlled to achieve a thickness of 60 nm for the Al2O3 film. The film was then heated at 200°C for 30 min (to remove any water molecules that may remain in the Al2O3 film) to form the bottom gate dielectric layer.

[0079] 2) The device with the prepared bottom gate dielectric layer is coated with photoresist, exposed with photolithography pattern, and stripped with a stripper solution. Then it is placed in a magnetron sputtering chamber, where polycrystalline ITO targets are sputtered simultaneously with DC power and polycrystalline ZnO targets are sputtered with RF power to deposit an ITZO thin film on the surface of the bottom gate dielectric layer. The DC sputtering power is controlled at 100W and the RF sputtering power is controlled at 130W. The gas pressure in the chamber is controlled at 0.5Pa during sputtering, and the volume ratio of argon to oxygen is controlled at 10:6. The sputtering temperature is room temperature. Then it is placed in acetone to remove the stripper and dried to complete the lift-off process, forming a first active layer with a thickness of 20nm and a second active layer with a thickness of 50nm (the surface is distributed with several columnar protrusions with a height of 30nm).

[0080] 3) The device with the first and second active layers prepared is coated with photoresist, exposed with photolithography pattern, and stripped with a stripper solution. Then it is placed in a magnetron sputtering chamber and an ITO target is sputtered to deposit an ITO film with a thickness of 100 nm on the surface of the bottom gate dielectric layer. The sputtering temperature is room temperature, the sputtering chamber pressure is set to 0.5 Pa, the volume ratio of argon to oxygen is controlled to 10:3, and the DC target sputtering power is 100 W. After removing the photoresist, it is placed on a heating stage and annealed at 350 °C for 3 h (to reduce defects in the active layer and improve crystal quality, while reducing contact resistance) to form the source electrode, source-drain composite electrode, and drain electrode.

[0081] 4) Place the device with the prepared source electrode, source-drain composite electrode and drain electrode into a ceramic boat, and load octadecyltriethoxysilane into another ceramic boat. Then place the two ceramic boats in the same sealed container and put them into a vacuum oven. Keep them at 120℃ for 1 hour, and then cool them down to 60℃ and keep them at 0.5 hours. A water and oxygen barrier layer with a thickness of 5 nm is formed on the surface of the source electrode, the first active layer, the source-drain composite electrode, the second active layer and the drain electrode.

[0082] 5) The device with the prepared water-oxygen barrier layer is placed on a patterned metal mask and fixed. Then, HfO2 target material is deposited on the surface of the water-oxygen barrier layer by magnetron sputtering with RF power supply to form a 100nm thick HfO2 film. The gas pressure in the sputtering chamber is controlled at 0.5Pa, the argon flow rate is controlled at 20sccm, the oxygen flow rate is controlled at 10sccm, the sputtering temperature is room temperature, and the sputtering power is set to 100W to form the top gate dielectric layer.

[0083] 6) The device with the prepared top gate dielectric layer is coated with photoresist, exposed with photolithographic patterns, and stripped with a stripper solution. It is then placed in a magnetron sputtering chamber and a 100 nm thick ITO film is deposited using DC sputtering to form the top gate electrode. The gas pressure in the sputtering chamber is controlled at 0.5 Pa, and sputtering is performed in a pure argon environment. The sputtering temperature is room temperature, and the sputtering power is set to 100 W. The photoresist is then removed, and a portion of the top gate dielectric layer and a portion of the water-oxygen barrier layer are selectively removed using a dry etching method to expose a portion of the source electrode. Patterned photoresist is then applied, and the device is placed in a magnetron sputtering chamber again. A 100 nm thick ITO film is deposited using a DC power supply on an ITO target. The sputtering temperature is room temperature, the sputtering chamber pressure is set to 0.5 Pa, the volume ratio of argon to oxygen is controlled at 10:3, and the DC target sputtering power is 100 W. The photoresist is then removed, forming a storage node connecting the source electrode and the top gate electrode, thus obtaining a capacitor-free dynamic random access memory.

[0084] Comparative example:

[0085] A capacitor-free dynamic random access memory device is identical to the capacitor-free dynamic random access memory of the embodiment, except that the second active layer 50 is adjusted to be an ITZO thin film with a thickness of 20 nm and a flat surface (without columnar protrusions).

[0086] Performance testing:

[0087] 1) The electrical performance of the write transistor and read transistor in the capacitor-free dynamic random access memory of the embodiment and the read transistor in the capacitor-free dynamic random access memory of the comparative example were tested using an Agilent B1500A semiconductor parameter analyzer. The resulting transfer characteristic curves are shown below. Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown.

[0088] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that the write transistor in the capacitorless dynamic random access memory of the embodiment has an extremely low off-state current (below 10). -13 A) The detection limit of the instrument was exceeded, and the switching current ratio reached 1×10⁻⁶. 9 Thanks to the extremely low off-state current, the charge retention time of the device is increased, thereby further improving the storage performance of the device.

[0089] Depend on Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be known that:

[0090] a) The subthreshold swing of the read transistor in the capacitorless dynamic random access memory of the embodiment is 142mV / dec, which is lower than the subthreshold swing of 191mV / dec of the read transistor in the capacitorless dynamic random access memory of the comparative example. This shows that by setting columnar protrusions on the surface of the second active layer, the transistor can have stronger gate control capability.

[0091] b) The read transistor mobility in the capacitorless dynamic random access memory of the embodiment is 21.85 cm⁻¹. 2 / V·s, higher than the 16.24cm mobility of the read transistor in the comparative capacitorless DRAM. 2 / V·s indicates that by setting columnar protrusions on the surface of the second active layer, more induced electric field can be generated, enabling the second active layer to generate more carrier channels, thereby improving the transistor mobility.

[0092] 2) The storage performance of the capacitorless dynamic random access memory device in this embodiment was tested using an Agilent B1500A semiconductor parameter analyzer. The resulting retention time characteristic curve is shown below. Figure 7 As shown.

[0093] Depend on Figure 7Known to: The capacitorless dynamic random access memory device in the embodiment can achieve a retention time of more than 35 seconds without a capacitor, when ΔV is defined. sn When the effective retention time is 0.1V, the retention time of the device can reach 2s, which is far higher than the current millisecond standard of traditional 1T1C. In contrast, the read current of the capacitorless dynamic random access memory in the comparison is too small to meet the standard of the memory device. This shows that the high drive current and strong gate control capability of the capacitorless dynamic random access memory device in the embodiment improve the effective read window of the device, thereby improving the read performance of the memory device.

Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
