Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to semiconductor devices. Background Art
[0002] SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) is a memory device that typically has a high operation speed and requires low operation power because data does not need to be refreshed. A typical application of SRAM is as a memory element of a mobile device such as a mobile phone. Generally, an SRAM memory cell includes two transfer transistors and two inverters that form a flip-flop circuit.
[0003] When forming an SRAM cell using a CMOS process, it may be difficult to reduce the size of the SRAM cell because six transistors are provided in a single SRAM cell. In particular, as the process is miniaturized, the margin between metal wirings and contacts for connecting a large number of transistors and applying signals is decreasing, which becomes an obstacle to the miniaturization of the SRAM cell.

In addition, the technical idea of the present disclosure can be applied to transistors based on two-dimensional materials and their heterostructures (2D material-based FETs).
[0022] In addition, the semiconductor device according to some embodiments may further include a bipolar junction transistor, a laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS), etc.
[0023] Embodiments according to the technical idea of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 3 Describe a semiconductor device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0024] Figure 1 is an example circuit diagram for illustrating a semiconductor device according to some embodiments.
[0025] Refer to Figure 1 , a semiconductor device according to some embodiments may include at least one or more units. Each unit may include a first bit line BL1 and a second bit line BL2, a word line WL, and a plurality of transistors. That is, Figure 1 may be a circuit diagram of one of the multiple units of the display semiconductor device.
[0026] Specifically, the semiconductor device may include a first transfer transistor PG1, a second transfer transistor PG2, a first pull-up transistor PU1, a second pull-up transistor PU2, a first pull-down transistor PD1, and a second pull-down transistor PD2.
[0027] The first pull-up transistor PU1 and the second pull-up transistor PU2 may be P-type MOSFETs (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors). The first transfer transistor PG1, the second transfer transistor PG2, the first pull-down transistor PD1, and the second pull-down transistor PD2 may be N-type MOSFETs. That is, the semiconductor device may include six transistors, including four NMOS transistors and two PMOS transistors.
[0028] The switching electrodes (e.g., gate electrodes) of the first transfer transistor PG1 and the second transfer transistor PG2 can be connected to the word line WL. The drain pattern of the first transfer transistor PG1 can be connected to the first bit line BL1. The drain pattern of the second transfer transistor PG2 can be connected to the second bit line BL2. A positive voltage VDD can be applied to the source pattern of the first pull-up transistor PU1. A positive voltage VDD can be applied to the source pattern of the second pull-up transistor PU2. A negative voltage VSS can be applied to the source pattern of the first pull-down transistor PD1. A negative voltage VSS can be applied to the source pattern of the second pull-down transistor PD2.
[0029] The source pattern of the first transfer transistor PG1, the drain pattern of the first pull-up transistor PU1, and the drain pattern of the first pull-down transistor PD1 can be commonly connected to the first node N1.
[0030] The source pattern of the second transfer transistor PG2, the drain pattern of the second pull-up transistor PU2, and the drain pattern of the second pull-down transistor PD2 can be commonly connected to the second node N2.
[0031] The switching electrodes (e.g., gate electrodes) of the first pull-up transistor PU1 and the first pull-down transistor PD1 can be commonly connected to the second node N2. The switching electrodes (e.g., gate electrodes) of the second pull-up transistor PU2 and the second pull-down transistor PD2 can be commonly connected to the first node N1. Thus, the first and second pull-up transistors PU1 and PU2 and the first and second pull-down transistors PD1 and PD2 can form a latch circuit including a pair of CMOS inverters.
[0032] When a high signal is applied to the first node N1, the second pull-up transistor PU2 is turned off, the second pull-down transistor PD2 is turned on, and a low signal is applied to the second node N2. When a low signal is applied to the second node N2, the first pull-up transistor PU1 is turned on, the second pull-down transistor PD2 is turned off, and the first node N1 maintains a high signal.
[0033] When a high signal is applied to the second node N2, the first pull-up transistor PU1 is turned off, the first pull-down transistor PD1 is turned on, and a low signal is applied to the first node N1. When a low signal is applied to the first node N1, the second pull-up transistor PU2 is turned on, the second pull-down transistor PD2 is turned off, and the second node N2 maintains a high signal.
[0034] Accordingly, the first and second transfer transistors PG1 and PG2 are turned on in response to a switching signal applied to the word line WL. At this time, data signals supplied to the first bit line BL1 and the second bit line BL2 can be latched to the first node N1 and the second node N2 through the first transfer transistor PG1 and the second transfer transistor PG2. When the first and second transfer transistors PG1 and PG2 are turned on, the data latched to the first and second nodes N1 and N2 can be provided to the first and second bit lines BL1 and BL2 through the first and second transfer transistors PG1 and PG2. The data latched to the first and second nodes N1 and N2 can be read by sensing the signals provided to the first and second bit lines BL1 and BL2 with the help of a sense amplifier.
[0035] The first transfer transistor PG1 may share an active region with the first pull-down transistor PD1. The second transfer transistor PG2 may share an active region with the second pull-down transistor PD2. The first pull-down transistor PD1 may share a gate electrode with the first pull-up transistor PU1. The second pull-down transistor PD2 may share a gate electrode with the second pull-up transistor PU2. The gate electrodes of each of the first transfer transistor PG1 and the second transfer transistor PG2 are not shared with the gate electrodes of other transistors.
[0036] In some embodiments, a first power supply wiring (e.g., Figure 4 PL1) for applying a negative voltage to the source patterns of the first pull-down transistor PD1 and the second pull-down transistor PD2 may be disposed under the substrate. A second power supply wiring (e.g., Figure 5 PL2) for applying a positive voltage to the source patterns of the first pull-up transistor PU1 and the second pull-up transistor PU2 may be disposed above the substrate. In addition, the word line WL and the first bit line BL1 and the second bit line BL2 may be disposed above the substrate. This will be described in detail using Figures 3 to 7 This will be described in detail using

The first transfer transistor PG1, the second transfer transistor PG2, the first pull-up transistor PU1, and the second pull-up transistor PU2 may be P-type MOSFETs. That is, the semiconductor device may include six transistors composed of four PMOS transistors and two NMOS transistors.
[0038] The first transfer transistor PG1 may share an active region with the first pull-up transistor PU1. The second transfer transistor PG2 may share an active region with the second pull-up transistor PU2. The first pull-down transistor PD1 may share a gate electrode with the first pull-up transistor PU1. The second pull-down transistor PD2 may share a gate electrode with the second pull-up transistor PU2. The gate electrodes of each of the first transfer transistor PG1 and the second transfer transistor PG2 are not shared with the gate electrodes of other transistors.
[0039] In some embodiments, a power supply wiring for applying a positive voltage to the source patterns of the first pull-up transistor PU1 and the second pull-up transistor PU2 may be disposed under the substrate. A power supply wiring for applying a negative voltage to the source patterns of the first pull-down transistor PD1 and the second pull-down transistor PD2 may be disposed above the substrate.

The first unit region C1 and the second unit region C2 may be adjacent to each other in a second direction D2. The first unit region C1 and the third unit region C3 may be adjacent to each other in a third direction D3. In the present specification, the first direction D1, the second direction D2, and the third direction D3 may intersect each other. The first direction D1 may be a direction substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate, and each of the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 may be substantially parallel to the upper surface of the substrate.

The fourth unit region C4 and the second unit region C2 can be adjacent to each other in the third direction D3. The fourth unit region C4 and the third unit region C3 can be adjacent to each other in the second direction D2. Based on the second direction D2, the layout structure of the fourth unit region C4 can be symmetrical to the layout structure of the second unit region C2. Based on the third direction D3, the layout structure of the fourth unit region C4 can be symmetrical to the layout structure of the third unit region C3.

[0051] The semiconductor device according to some embodiments can include a first power supply wiring PL1. The first power supply wiring PL1 can be electrically connected to the source pattern of the first pull - down transistor PD1 and the source pattern of the second pull - down transistor PD2. The source pattern of the first pull - down transistor PD1 and the source pattern of the second pull - down transistor PD2 can each be electrically connected to the first power supply wiring PL1 through a first via VA1. The first power supply wiring PL1 can apply a negative voltage VSS to the source pattern of the first pull - down transistor PD1 and the source pattern of the second pull - down transistor PD2.
[0052] The first power supply wiring PL1 may extend along the third direction D3. The first power supply wiring PL1 may extend in the same direction as the extending direction of the gate electrodes G1, G2, G3, and G4. In addition, the first power supply wiring PL1 may be disposed under the transistors. That is, the first power supply wiring PL1 may be disposed under the substrate. In addition, the first power supply wiring PL1 may be arranged to overlap each of two adjacent cells in the second direction D2 in the first direction D1.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first gate electrode G1 may be the gate electrode of the first transfer transistor PG1. The second gate electrode G2 may be the gate electrode of the first pull-down transistor PD1 and the first pull-up transistor PU1.
[0081] The first gate spacer GS1 may be disposed on the sidewalls of the first gate electrode G1. The first gate spacer GS1 does not contact the first gate electrode G1. The first gate insulating film GI1 may be disposed between the first gate electrode G1 and the first gate spacer GS1.

[0084] The first gate insulating film GI1 may extend between the upper surface of the first gate electrode G1 and the first lower pattern BP1 and between the first gate electrode G1 and the first sheet pattern SP1. In addition, the first gate insulating film GI1 may be formed between the first gate electrode G1 and the first gate spacer GS1.

In addition, the second gate insulating film GI2 may be formed between the second gate electrode G2 and the second gate spacer GS2.
[0086] Each of the first gate insulating film GI1 and the second gate insulating film GI2 may include silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, silicon nitride, or a high-k material having a dielectric constant higher than that of silicon oxide. The high-k material may include, for example, one or more of boron nitride, hafnium oxide, hafnium silicon oxide, hafnium aluminum oxide, lanthanum oxide, lanthanum aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, zirconium silicon oxide, tantalum oxide, titanium oxide, barium strontium titanate, barium titanate, strontium titanate, yttrium oxide, aluminum oxide, lead scandium tantalum oxide, or lead zinc niobate.
[0087] Although each of the first and second gate insulating films GI1 and GI2 is shown as a single film, this is for illustrative purposes only and the embodiments are not limited thereto. Each of the first and second gate insulating films GI1 and GI2 may include a plurality of films.
[0088] A semiconductor device according to some embodiments may include an NC (negative capacitance) FET using a negative capacitor. For example, each of the first and second gate insulating films GI1 and GI2 may include a ferroelectric material film having ferroelectric properties and a paraelectric material film having paraelectric properties.
[0089] A ferroelectric material film can have a negative capacitance, and a paraelectric material film can have a positive capacitance. For example, if two or more capacitors are connected in series and each capacitor has a positive capacitance value, the total capacitance decreases from the capacitance of each individual capacitor. On the other hand, if at least one of the capacitances of two or more capacitors connected in series has a negative value, the total capacitance can be greater than the absolute value of each individual capacitance while having a positive value.
[0090] When a ferroelectric material film having a negative capacitance and a paraelectric material film having a positive capacitance are connected in series, the total capacitance value of the series-connected ferroelectric material film and paraelectric material film can increase. By using the increased total capacitance value, a transistor including the ferroelectric material film can have a subthreshold swing (SS) of less than 60 mV / decade at room temperature.
[0091] The ferroelectric material film can have ferroelectric properties. The ferroelectric material film can include, for example, at least one of hafnium oxide, hafnium zirconium oxide, barium strontium titanate, barium titanate, and lead zirconium titanate. Here, as an example, hafnium zirconium oxide can be a material obtained by doping hafnium oxide with zirconium (Zr). As another example, hafnium zirconium oxide can be a compound of hafnium (Hf), zirconium (Zr), and oxygen (O).
[0092] The ferroelectric material film can further include a doped dopant. For example, the dopant can include at least one of aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), lanthanum (La), yttrium (Y), magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si), calcium (Ca), cerium (Ce), dysprosium (Dy), erbium (Er), gadolinium (Gd), germanium (Ge), scandium (Sc), strontium (Sr), and tin (Sn). The type of dopant included in the ferroelectric material film can vary according to the type of ferroelectric material included in the ferroelectric material film.
[0093] When the ferroelectric material film includes hafnium oxide, the dopant included in the ferroelectric material film can include, for example, at least one of gadolinium (Gd), silicon (Si), zirconium (Zr), aluminum (Al), and yttrium (Y).
[0094] When the dopant is aluminum (Al), the ferroelectric material film can contain 3 to 8 at% (atomic percentage) of aluminum. Here, the ratio of the dopant can be the ratio of aluminum to the sum of hafnium and aluminum.
[0095] When the dopant is silicon (Si), the ferroelectric material film can include 2 to 10 at% of silicon. When the dopant is yttrium (Y), the ferroelectric material film can include 2 to 10 at% of yttrium. When the dopant is gadolinium (Gd), the ferroelectric material film can include 1 to 7 at% of gadolinium. When the dopant is zirconium (Zr), the ferroelectric material film can include 50 to 80 at% of zirconium.
[0096] The paraelectric material film can have paraelectric properties. The paraelectric material film can include at least one of, for example, silicon oxide and metal oxides with a high dielectric constant. The metal oxide contained in the paraelectric material film can include at least one of, for example but not limited to, hafnium oxide, zirconium oxide, and aluminum oxide.
[0097] The ferroelectric material film and the paraelectric material film can contain the same materials. The ferroelectric material film has ferroelectric properties, but the paraelectric material film may not have ferroelectric properties. For example, when the ferroelectric material film and the paraelectric material film contain hafnium oxide, the crystal structure of the hafnium oxide contained in the ferroelectric material film is different from the crystal structure of the hafnium oxide contained in the paraelectric material film.
[0098] The ferroelectric material film can have a thickness with ferroelectric properties. The thickness of the ferroelectric material film can be, for example, 0.5 to 10 nm, but is not limited thereto. Since the critical thickness for exhibiting ferroelectric properties may be different for each ferroelectric material, the thickness of the ferroelectric material film can vary depending on the ferroelectric material.
[0099] As an example, each of the first and second gate insulating films GI1 and GI2 can include a ferroelectric material film. As another example, each of the first and second gate insulating films GI1 and GI2 can include a plurality of ferroelectric material films spaced apart from each other. Each of the first and second gate insulating films GI1 and GI2 can have a stacked film structure in which a plurality of ferroelectric material films and a plurality of paraelectric material films are alternately stacked.
