[0144] The implementation manners in this document can be implemented in multiple different forms. It is easy for those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the fact that the implementation manners and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the gist and scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application should not be construed as being limited only to the contents described in the following implementation manners. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined arbitrarily with each other.
[0145] The size and proportional relationship between each film layer or component in the drawings of the present application can be used as a reference in actual processes, which is an implementation manner with good technical effects, but not limited thereto. For example, the aspect ratio of the semiconductor layer, the thickness and spacing of each film layer can be adjusted according to actual needs. The drawings described in the present application are only schematic structural diagrams, and one manner of the present application is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0146] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle part", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., which indicate the orientation or positional relationship, are used to describe the positional relationship of the constituent elements with reference to the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this specification and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application. The positional relationship of the constituent elements is appropriately changed according to the directions describing each constituent element. Therefore, it is not limited to the terms described in the specification and can be appropriately replaced according to the situation.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate member, or the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific situations.
[0148] In the description of the present application, ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" are set to avoid confusion of components, rather than to limit the quantity.

[0161] It can be Figure 1D seen that the first gate 150 and the third source / drain 210 may be an integral structure, that is, they are connected. In this application, by interconnecting the first gate of the read transistor and the third source / drain of the write transistor, a capacitorless memory, such as a 2T0C DRAM memory, is obtained.
[0162] As Figure 1DAs shown, the semiconductor structure may further include a first gate barrier layer 151, which is disposed around the circumferential sidewall of one end of the first gate 150 close to the second gate 250, and is located between the first semiconductor layer 130 and the second semiconductor layer 230.
[0163] An exemplary embodiment of the present application further provides a memory, such as Figures 1A-1D As shown, the memory may include a substrate, a stacked structure located on the substrate, a plurality of first bit lines 160 and second bit lines 260 extending along a second direction Y parallel to the substrate, and a plurality of first word lines 170 and second word lines 270 extending along a third direction Z perpendicular to the substrate and passing through the stacked structure.
[0164] The stacked structure may include a plurality of memory cells stacked along the third direction Z. The memory cells may include a first gate 150, a first gate insulating layer 140, a first semiconductor layer 130, a second gate 250, a second gate insulating layer 240, and a second semiconductor layer 230. The first gate 150 may extend along a first direction X parallel to the substrate, the first semiconductor layer 130 may surround the first gate 150, and the first gate insulating layer 140 may surround the first gate 150 and be located between the first gate 150 and the first semiconductor layer 130.

Along the first direction X, the second gate 250 may be located on one side of the first gate 150, and one side of the first gate 150 close to the second gate 250 is in contact with one side of the second semiconductor layer 230 close to the first gate 150.
[0165] The first semiconductor layers 130 in a plurality of the memory cells arranged at intervals along the second direction Y may be in contact with the same first bit line 160. The second semiconductor layers 230 in a plurality of the memory cells arranged at intervals along the second direction Y may be in contact with the same second bit line 260. The first semiconductor layers 130 in a plurality of the memory cells arranged at intervals along the third direction Z may be in contact with the same first word line 170. The second gates 250 in a plurality of the memory cells arranged at intervals along the third direction Z are connected to form a second word line 270.
[0166] Refer to Figure 1B and 1D, the memory may also have a second gate protection layer 40, which is disposed around the circumferential sidewalls of the second word line 270 / second gate 250 and is discontinuously disposed in the third direction Z. By providing the second gate protection layer, the second gate insulating layer 240 and the second gate 250 can be protected from being etched away in subsequent etching processes.
[0167] Figure 1A It is also shown that the first bit line 160 and the second bit line 260 may be located on both sides of the memory cell along the first direction X, and multiple first bit lines 160 may be stacked and spaced along the third direction Z, and multiple second bit lines 260 may be stacked and spaced along the third direction Z; multiple first word lines 170 may be spaced along the second direction Y on one side of the memory cell, and multiple second word lines 270 may be located on the side of the first gate 150 away from the first bit line 160.
[0168] Furthermore, Figures 1A-1D It is also shown that the first source / drain 110 may contact the first semiconductor layer 130 only in the first direction X; the second source / drain 120 contacts the first semiconductor layer 130 only in the second direction Y. Thus, the first channel region of the read transistor may be located on a side surface of the first semiconductor layer 130 facing the second source / drain 120, and this side surface extends along the first direction X, and current flows from the second source / drain to the first source / drain along this side surface.
[0169] Figure 1A-Figure 1D It is also shown that the second semiconductor layer 230 of the write transistor may contact the third source / drain 210 and the fourth source / drain 220 in the first direction X. Thus, the channel region of the write transistor may be located on at least one side of the second semiconductor layer 230 in the second direction Y. In an exemplary embodiment, the channel region of the write transistor may be located on both sides of the second semiconductor layer 230 in the second direction Y.
[0170] Although the first source / drain, the second source / drain, the third source / drain, and the fourth source / drain references are used herein to denote two separate and different source / drains, it is not intended that the source / drains referred to as the "first" source / drain, or "second" source / drain, and "third" source / drain and "fourth" source / drain have a unique meaning.
[0171] In some embodiments, the first source / drain and the second source / drain are independent of each other. In some embodiments, one of the first source / drain and the second source / drain may be the source of the read transistor, and the other may be the drain of the read transistor. Similarly, the third source / drain and the fourth source / drain are independent of each other, and one of the third source / drain and the fourth source / drain may be the source of the write transistor, and the other may be the drain of the write transistor.

SN represents a storage node, and WWL, WBL, RWL, and RBL are a write word line, a write bit line, a read word line, and a read bit line, respectively. The first source / drain 110 of the read transistor can be electrically connected to the first bit line (i.e., the read bit line RBL) 160, and the second source / drain 120 can be electrically connected to the first word line (i.e., the read word line RWL) 170; the second gate 250 of the write transistor can be electrically connected to the second word line (i.e., the write word line WWL) 270, and the fourth source / drain 220 of the write transistor can be electrically connected to the second bit line (i.e., the write bit line WBL) 260. The first gate 150 of the read transistor can be electrically connected to the third source / drain 210 of the write transistor, that is, the two form an integral structure, and the first gate of the read transistor can serve as a storage node. Data "1" or "0" is stored in the storage node to control the on or off of the read transistor, and the data stored in the storage node is determined to be "1" or "0" according to the on and off states of the read transistor.
[0173] In the present application, in the extending direction of the second word line (i.e., the write word line), the second semiconductor layer is discontinuously arranged, that is, the second semiconductor layers 230 of different write transistors sharing the same write word line 270 are separated from each other. Therefore, the write transistor does not have the parasitic MOS problem, enhancing the performance of the device.
[0174] In the present application, in the extending direction of the read word line, the first semiconductor layer is also discontinuously arranged. That is, the read transistor also does not have the parasitic MOS problem, thus enhancing the performance of the device.
[0175] As used in the present application, the term "discontinuously arranged" can be achieved by physical disconnection to form a gap, such as by means of an isolation region formed of an insulating material, or can be an electrical disconnection, for example, the semiconductor region between two channel regions has conductivity approximately insulating.
[0176] The technical solution of the present application will be further described below through the manufacturing process of the memory in the exemplary embodiments of the present application. The "lithography process" mentioned in this exemplary embodiment includes processes such as depositing a film layer, coating a photoresist, mask exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping, which are mature manufacturing processes in the related art. The "photolithography process" mentioned in this exemplary embodiment includes coating a film layer, mask exposure, and development, which are mature manufacturing processes in the related art. Deposition can use known processes such as sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition, coating can use known coating processes, and etching can use known methods, which will not be specifically limited here. In the description of this exemplary embodiment, it should be understood that a "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 lithography process or a photolithography process during the entire manufacturing process, the "thin film" can also be referred to as a "layer". If the "thin film" still requires a lithography process or a photolithography process during the entire manufacturing process, it is called a "thin film" before the lithography process and a "layer" after the lithography process. The "layer" after the lithography process or the photolithography process contains at least one "pattern".

Figure 4AIt is also shown that the middle 1-column isolation region 11 can be set as the word line region 100 (i.e., each column includes 3 word line regions), which is used to form the read word line (RWL) of the read transistor and the write word line (WWL) of the write transistor subsequently; the region between the 1-column isolation region 11 on the opposite side of the middle 1-column isolation region 11 along the first direction X and the middle 1-column isolation region 11 can be set as the write bit line region 200, which is used to form the write bit line (WBL) of the write transistor subsequently; the region between the 1-column isolation region 11 on one side of the middle 1-column isolation region 11 along the first direction X and the middle 1-column isolation region 11 can be set as the read bit line region 300 (i.e., between adjacent isolation regions in the first direction X), which can be used to form the read bit line (RBL) of the read transistor subsequently. That is, the preset pattern can include the word line region 100, the write bit line region 200 located on the opposite side of the word line region 100 along the first direction X, and the read bit line region 300 located on one side of the word line region 100 along the first direction X.
