[0007] In some embodiments, in every two of the storage array groups, the i-th storage array unit in one of the storage array groups and the i-th storage array unit in the other storage array group share a set of row addresses; i is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to N-1.

[0008] In some embodiments, in the vertical direction, the orthographic projections of the two second sensing amplifiers electrically connected to the same pair of the storage array groups are respectively located on opposite sides of the orthographic projections of the same pair of the storage array groups along the second direction; the first direction and the second direction are both perpendicular to the vertical direction.

[0009] In some embodiments, in the vertical direction, the orthographic projection of each of the second sense amplifiers at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projections of the two correspondingly connected storage array sections.

[0010] In some embodiments, in the vertical direction, the orthographic projections of the two second sense amplifiers electrically connected to the same pair of the storage array groups and the orthographic projections of the same pair of the storage array groups have the same symmetry axis; the symmetry axis extends along the second direction.

[0016] It can be seen that the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a chip structure and a memory. Wherein, the chip structure includes: a first chip and a second chip that are stacked. The first chip includes: a plurality of storage array groups arranged along a first direction; each storage array group includes: N storage array sections arranged along a second direction; the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the present disclosure are further elaborated in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limiting the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0029] In the following description, reference is made to “some embodiments”, which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it will be understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0030] If similar descriptions of "first / second" appear in the application documents, the following description is added. In the following description, the terms "first / second / third" involved are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It is understandable that "first / second / third" can be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0031] In this document, when a layer / element is referred to as being "on" another layer / element, the layer / element can be directly on the other layer / element or there can be an intervening layer / element between them. In addition, if a layer / element is "on" another layer / element in one orientation, it may be "under" the other layer / element when the orientation is reversed.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0033] In the related art, an Open BL (open bit line) architecture is adopted. In order to ensure that the two bit lines connected to the sense amplifier are symmetrical to each other, a complete memory array chip (MAT) needs to be placed at each edge of the array area (Array). However, since there is no sense amplifier further outside the memory array chip at the edge position, some memory cells in the memory array chip at the edge position will be unused, which will cause a waste of chip area and is not conducive to improving the chip integration.

[0034] Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is an optional structural diagram of the chip structure provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the chip structure includes: a first chip D1 and a second chip D2 that are stacked, wherein the width of the first chip D1 is consistent with the width of the second chip D2.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 1 , the first chip D1 and the second chip D2 are electrically connected by hybrid bonding, so that higher integration and performance can be achieved while reducing chip size and power consumption. The CMOS wafer can be bonded to the memory array wafer by a wafer-on-wafer hybrid bonding manufacturing process; then the CMOS wafer is cut into the second chip D2, and the memory array wafer is cut into the first chip D1. Alternatively, the CMOS wafer can be cut into the second chip D2 first; then the second chip D2 can be bonded to the memory array wafer by a die-on-wafer hybrid bonding manufacturing process; and then the memory array wafer can be cut into the first chip D1.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first chip D1 includes: a plurality of memory array groups 101 arranged along a first direction X; each memory array group 101 includes: N memory array sections (array sections) 102 arranged along a second direction Y; wherein the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. The second chip D2 includes: a plurality of first sense amplifiers 201 and a plurality of second sense amplifiers 202.

[0038] It should be noted that a bank can be divided into two half-banks along the word line extension direction, and each memory array group 101 can be composed of one or more half-banks arranged along the second direction Y, and each half-bank includes a plurality of memory array units 102. In other words, the storage capacity of each memory array group 101 can be divided according to demand.

[0039] In the present disclosure, continue to refer to Figure 2 On the one hand, in each storage array group 101, two adjacent storage array sections 102 are electrically connected to a corresponding first sense amplifier 201; and, two adjacent first sense amplifiers 201 are electrically connected to the same storage array section 102. On the other hand, the first storage array section 102 in two adjacent storage array groups 101 is electrically connected to a corresponding second sense amplifier 202; and, the Nth storage array section 102 in two adjacent storage array groups 101 is electrically connected to another corresponding second sense amplifier 202; the storage array sections 102 electrically connected to different second sense amplifiers 202 are different from each other. The first and Nth storage array sections 102 in each storage array group 101 are respectively located at the outermost edge of the storage array group 101 along the second direction Y.

[0040] In the present disclosure, continue to refer to Figure 2 The sense amplifier (the first sense amplifier 201 or the second sense amplifier 202) is electrically connected to the storage cell in the storage array unit 102, so that during the process of reading or writing the data in the storage cell, the sense amplifier can amplify the data in the storage cell.

[0041] Further, each sense amplifier (the first sense amplifier 201 or the second sense amplifier 202) can be electrically connected to an equal number of memory cells in two memory array sections 102. That is, for the memory array sections 102 located at non-edge positions in each memory array group 101 (i.e., the 2nd to N-1th memory array sections 102), half of the memory cells in each memory array section 102 are electrically connected to a corresponding first sense amplifier 201, and the other half of the memory cells in each memory array section 102 are electrically connected to another corresponding first sense amplifier 201. On the other hand, for the memory array sections 102 located at edge positions in each memory array group 101 (i.e., the 1st and Nth memory array sections 102), half of the memory cells in each memory array section 102 are electrically connected to a corresponding first sense amplifier 201, and the other half of the memory cells in each memory array section 102 are electrically connected to a corresponding second sense amplifier 202.

[0042] It can be understood that the first and Nth memory array sections 102 located at the edge of the memory array group 101 are electrically connected to the corresponding second sense amplifiers 202. In this way, in the memory array sections located at the edge (i.e., the first and Nth memory array sections 102), a part of the memory cells are electrically connected to a corresponding first sense amplifier 201, and another part of the memory cells are electrically connected to a corresponding second sense amplifier 202, thereby avoiding the existence of unused memory cells in the memory array sections located at the edge, avoiding waste, thereby making fuller use of the chip area and improving the chip performance.

[0043] At the same time, since each first sense amplifier 201 is electrically connected to two adjacent storage array sections 102, and each second sense amplifier 202 is electrically connected to two storage array sections 102 at the edge, the length of the bit line between the sense amplifier and the corresponding storage array section is shorter, which saves the transmission time of data in the bit line and saves the area occupied by the bit line on the chip.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In every two storage array groups U and V, the 1st storage array unit in one storage array group and the Nth storage array unit in the other storage array group share the same set of row addresses.

[0045] refer to Figure 3 The row address RA_1 is decoded into a group of row addresses through the row address decoder XDEC_N. This group of row addresses can simultaneously select the Nth storage array unit in the storage array group U and the 1st storage array unit in the storage array group V, so that the corresponding word lines (Word Line, WL) in these two storage array units can be opened at the same time.

[0046] refer to Figure 4 The row address RA_2 is decoded into another set of row addresses through the row address decoder XDEC_1. This set of row addresses can simultaneously select the 1st storage array unit in the storage array group U and the Nth storage array unit in the storage array group V, so that the corresponding word lines in these two storage array units can be opened at the same time.

[0047] It can be understood that, in the two storage array groups U and V, the first storage array section in one storage array group and the Nth storage array section in the other storage array group share the same set of row addresses. In this way, the word lines of the storage array groups U and V can be activated at the same time, that is, the two storage array groups can read and write data based on the same activation command and the same read and write command, thereby improving the read and write efficiency.

[0048] It can be understood that each row address corresponds to a word line. Since the two storage array groups U and V share the same row address, a word line in each of the two storage array groups U and V will be activated when an activation command including a row address is received. At the same time, since the activated word lines are located in storage array portions at different positions in the two storage array groups U and V, the correspondingly connected second sensing amplifier 202 can operate normally. Therefore, when a read or write command is received, the charge discharged from the storage cell to the bit line is sensed and amplified based on the column address in the read or write command.

[0049] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the storage array sections at the edge of the two storage array groups U and V are connected to the second sense amplifier 202. Specifically, the first storage array section in the two storage array groups U and V is connected to the same second sense amplifier 202; correspondingly, the Nth storage array section in the two storage array groups U and V is connected to the same second sense amplifier 202.

[0050] It can be understood that, in the two storage array groups U and V, the first storage array unit in one storage array group and the Nth storage array unit in the other storage array group share the same set of row addresses. In this way, the word lines of the two storage array units connected to the same second sense amplifier 202 will not be turned on at the same time; that is, before the second sense amplifier 202 starts working, only the bit line potential of one of the two storage array units connected to the second sense amplifier will change, and the bit line potential of the other will not change, so as to serve as a reference bit line for sensing and amplification. In this way, it is conducive to accurately amplifying the data in the storage array unit located at the edge position, avoiding errors in the data reading and writing process.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 5 In every two storage array groups U and V, the i-th storage array unit in one storage array group and the i-th storage array unit in another storage array group share a set of row addresses; wherein i is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to N-1.

[0052] Continue to refer Figure 5 The address decoder XDEC_i decodes a set of row addresses, which can simultaneously select the i-th storage array unit in the storage array group U and the i-th storage array unit in the storage array group V, so that the word lines in these two storage array units can be opened at the same time.

[0053] It can be understood that, for the storage array sections located at non-edge positions in the two storage array groups U and V (i.e., the 2nd to N-1th storage array sections), the storage array sections that are relatively close (i.e., the i-th storage array section located in the same row in the two storage array groups U and V) are set to share the same set of row addresses. In this way, the wiring length is reduced, the data transmission time in the wiring is saved, and the area occupied by the wiring on the chip is saved.

[0054] At the same time, since each first sense amplifier is respectively connected to two adjacent storage array sections in the same storage array group, the word lines of the two storage array sections connected to the same first sense amplifier will not be opened at the same time. Thus, accurate amplification of data in the storage array section located at a non-edge position is achieved, and errors in the data reading and writing process are avoided.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2 or Figure 6 In the vertical direction Z, the orthographic projections of the two second sense amplifiers 202 electrically connected to the same pair of storage array groups 101 are respectively located on opposite sides of the orthographic projections of the same pair of storage array groups 101 along the second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y are both perpendicular to the vertical direction Z.

[0056] It can be understood that the second sense amplifier 202 is positioned so that the orthographic projections of the two second sense amplifiers 202 electrically connected to the same pair of storage array groups 101 are respectively located on opposite sides of the orthographic projections of the same pair of storage array groups 101 along the second direction Y. In this way, the second sense amplifier 202 can be connected to the storage array portion 102 at the edge of the storage array group 101, thereby reducing the wiring length between the second sense amplifier 202 and the storage array portion 102 at the edge, saving the data transmission time in the wiring, and saving the area occupied by the wiring on the chip.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 6 In the vertical direction Z, the orthographic projection of each second sense amplifier 202 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projections of the two correspondingly connected storage array portions 102 .

[0058] It is understandable that the positions of the second sense amplifiers 202 are set so that the orthographic projection of each second sense amplifier 202 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projections of the two correspondingly connected storage array units 102. In this way, the sense amplifiers on the second chip can be arranged more compactly, thereby improving the integration of the chip.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 6In the vertical direction Z, the orthographic projections of the two second sense amplifiers 202 electrically connected to the same pair of storage array groups 101 and the orthographic projections of the same pair of storage array groups 101 have the same symmetry axis; the symmetry axis extends along the second direction Y.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 7 Each storage array group 101 further includes: at least one redundant array portion 103. The redundant array portion 103 is located at least on one of the two opposite sides of the storage array group 101 along the second direction Y. In the vertical direction Z, the orthographic projection of the second sense amplifier 202 at least partially overlaps with the redundant array portion 103 located on the same side, and in the second direction Z, the edge of the orthographic projection of the second sense amplifier 202 does not exceed the edge of the orthographic projection of the redundant array portion 103.

[0061] It should be noted that the redundant array unit 103 is not electrically connected to the second sense amplifier 202. The redundant array unit 103 may be a redundant design in chip design. The sum of the number of storage array units 102 and the number of redundant array units 103 in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be compared to the number of storage array units in a conventional chip design.

[0062] It is understandable that the second sense amplifier 202 is positioned so that the orthographic projection of the second sense amplifier 202 at least partially overlaps with the redundant array portion 103 on the same side. In this way, the sense amplifiers on the second chip can be arranged more compactly, thereby improving the chip integration.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 8 , in the vertical direction Z, the orthographic projection of the first sense amplifier 201 is located between the orthographic projections of the two correspondingly connected storage array sections 102. Fig. 9 , in the vertical direction Z, the orthographic projection of the first sense amplifier 201 is located in the orthographic projection of one of the two correspondingly connected storage array portions 102 .

[0064] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 8 or Fig. 9 In the vertical direction Z, the orthographic projection of each first sense amplifier 201 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projections of the two correspondingly connected storage array portions 102 .

[0065] It is understandable that the position of the first sense amplifier 201 is set so that the orthographic projection of the first sense amplifier 201 is located between the orthographic projections of the two correspondingly connected storage array parts 102, or the orthographic projection of the first sense amplifier 201 is located in the orthographic projection of one of the two correspondingly connected storage array parts 102. In this way, the sense amplifiers on the second chip can be arranged more compactly, thereby improving the integration of the chip.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, continue to refer to Figure 2 Each first sense amplifier 201 is electrically connected to the corresponding two storage array sections 102 through a first bit line (not shown in the figure) of equal length. Each second sense amplifier 202 is electrically connected to the corresponding two storage array sections 102 through a second bit line (not shown in the figure) of equal length. The length of each first bit line and the length of each second bit line can be equal. In this way, the bit lines connected to both ends of each sense amplifier have equal lengths, and at the same time, the coupling capacitances on the bit lines are the same, thereby ensuring the reading and writing of data.

[0067] In the disclosed embodiment, for each sense amplifier, the storage unit electrically connected to the first end thereof stores the first data, and the storage unit electrically connected to the second end thereof stores the second data; the first data and the second data may be the same or different. When the sense amplifier is amplifying, only the storage unit electrically connected to one end will be turned on, and the storage unit electrically connected to the other end is actually in a closed state; however, the bit line electrically connected to the other end is charged to a preset potential, wherein the preset potential can be expressed as logic 0.5, that is, between a high level (logic 1) and a low level (logic 0). In this way, one end of the sense amplifier receives a data signal (including a data signal to be written or a data signal to be read), and the other end is at a preset potential, so that sense amplification can be performed to complete the reading or writing of data.
