Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and is related to but not limited to a semiconductor structure and electronic equipment. Background Art
[0002] A memory typically includes a sensing amplifier circuit and an equalization circuit. After charge sharing occurs between the storage capacitor and the bit line, a voltage difference forms between the bit line and its complementary bit line. The sensing amplifier circuit amplifies this voltage difference to convert the data stored on the storage capacitor into a voltage corresponding to a logic 1 or 0, which is then displayed on the bit line. Furthermore, after a read operation, a write-back operation restores the charge on the storage capacitor to its pre-read state, and the equalization circuit restores the potentials on the bit line and complementary bit line to their pre-charge sharing states.
[0003] When the distance between different bit lines is very close and the timing is inconsistent, signal coupling will occur between them. Signal coupling will not only cause crosstalk between signals, but also affect the stability of signal transmission of the entire chip. Summary of the Invention

[0073] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the specific embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0074] In the following description, numerous details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features known in the art are not described to avoid confusion with the present disclosure; that is, all features of actual embodiments are not described herein, nor are well-known functions and structures described in detail.
[0075] In the drawings, the sizes of layers, regions, elements and their relative sizes may be exaggerated for clarity. Like reference numerals denote like elements throughout.
[0076] It should be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on, adjacent to, connected to, or coupled to" another element or layer, it may be directly on, adjacent to, connected to, or coupled to the other element or layer, or there may be intervening elements or layers. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on, directly adjacent to, directly connected to, or directly coupled to" another element or layer, there may be no intervening elements or layers. It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and / or parts, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or parts should not be limited by these terms. These terms are merely used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or part from another element, component, region, layer, or part. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure, the first element, component, region, layer, or part discussed below may be represented as a second element, component, region, layer, or part. However, when the second element, component, region, layer, or part is discussed, it does not necessarily mean that the first element, component, region, layer, or part exists in the present disclosure.
[0077] The purpose of the terms used herein is only to describe specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. When used herein, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms "comprising" and / or "comprising", when used in this specification, determine the presence of the features, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or parts, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, parts and / or groups. When used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of the relevant listed items.
[0078] Before introducing the embodiments of the present disclosure, we first define the three directions that may be used in describing the three-dimensional structure in the following embodiments. These three directions may include a first (X-axis), a second (Y-axis), and a third (Z-axis). The Z-axis may be a direction perpendicular to the plane in which the semiconductor structure resides. The X-axis and Y-axis are two mutually perpendicular directions on the plane in which the semiconductor structure resides, wherein the Y-axis may be the direction in which the first conductive line extends.
[0079] The present disclosure provides a semiconductor structure 100, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the semiconductor structure 100 includes: a plurality of sensing amplifier circuits SA arranged along the X-axis direction (refer to Figure 2 ); the devices in the sensing amplifier circuit SA (Sensing Amplifier Circuit) are arranged in the active device layer; a plurality of wire groups 110 arranged along the X-axis direction (refer to Figure 1), a wire group 110 is disposed in a first conductive layer above the active device layer, and a wire group 110 is connected to a device in a corresponding sensing amplifier circuit SA; wherein the wire group 110 includes a first wire 111 and a second wire 112, and the first wire 111 and the second wire 112 both extend along the Y-axis direction; the first wire 111 and the second wire 112 within the same wire group 110 are twisted so that at least a portion of the second wire 112 is located between the first wires 111 in different wire groups 110; when the sensing amplifier circuit SA is in the amplification stage, the potential of the first wire 111 and the potential of the second wire 112 in the same wire group represent different data.
[0080] It should be noted that Figure 1 Components in the sense amplifier circuit SA are not shown; only the first conductive line 111 and the second conductive line 112 in one conductive line group 110 and the first conductive line 111 in the adjacent conductive line group 110 are shown.
[0081] In the disclosed embodiment, the active device layer is the core functional layer of the semiconductor structure 100. The devices in the sense amplifier circuit SA include active elements such as transistors, for example, N-type amplifiers and P-type amplifiers. The first conductive layer can be the first metal layer (Metal 1, M1) in the semiconductor structure 100. The first metal layer is the metal layer closest to the active device layer and is used for signal transmission and routing. The conductive line group 110 disposed in the first conductive layer can connect the ports of different devices in the sense amplifier circuit SA (such as the source, drain, and gate of the transistor) to higher-level metal wiring (such as the second metal layer, Metal 2, M2). The second metal layer is another metal layer located above and closest to the first metal layer.
[0082] In this disclosure, please continue to refer to Figure 1 The phrase "both the first conductor 111 and the second conductor 112 extend in the Y-axis direction" means that the majority of the first conductor 111 and the second conductor 112 extend in the Y-axis direction, but not every portion of the first conductor 111 and the second conductor 112 extends in the Y-axis direction. In other words, the first conductor 111 and the second conductor 112 may have portions extending in the X-axis or Z-axis direction due to routing, winding, or jumpering. For example, within the same conductor assembly 110, the first conductor 111 may extend in the Y-axis direction, then extend in the X-axis direction to jumper to the second conductor 112, and then extend in the Y-axis direction again.
[0083] In this disclosure, please continue to refer to Figure 1The twisting of the first wire 111 and the second wire 112 within the same wire group 110 means that the first wire 111 and the second wire 112 within the same wire group 110 periodically exchange left and right positions along their extension paths, or in other words, exchange paths with each other at least once (similar to the DNA double helix structure); for example, within the same wire group 110, the second wire 112 jumps to the path of the first wire 111 along its extension path, and at the same time, the first wire 111 jumps to the path of the second wire 112 along its extension path.
[0084] In addition, please continue to refer to the embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 At least part of the second wire 112 is located between the first wires 111 in different wire groups 110, which means that at least part of the second wire 112 is located between the first wire 111 in the wire group 110 where the second wire 112 is located and the first wire 111 in another wire group.
[0085] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, different wire groups 110 correspond to different memory cells, and their data may be the same or different. Because the first wire 111 and the second wire 112 in the same wire group 110 represent different data, the first wire 111 can be a bit line or an internal wiring connected to the bit line in the sense amplifier circuit SA, and the second wire 112 can be a complementary bit line or an internal wiring connected to the complementary bit line in the sense amplifier circuit SA. In this case, because at least a portion of the second wire 112 is located between first wires 111 in different groups, the voltage of the first wire 111 in the other group will affect the voltage of the first wire 111 and the second wire 112 in the current wire group, that is, simultaneously increase or decrease the voltage of the first wire 111 and the second wire 112 in the current wire group. This helps avoid reducing the voltage difference between the first wire 111 and the second wire 112 in the current wire group due to affecting only the voltage of the first wire 111 (or the second wire 112) in the current wire group, thereby ensuring that the sense amplifier circuit can effectively amplify data.
[0086] Next, please refer to Figures 2 to 12 , the semiconductor structure 100 is introduced in detail.
[0087] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The semiconductor structure 100 further includes: a memory array 120 located on both sides of the plurality of sense amplifier circuits SA along the Y-axis; a conductive line group 110 including a sense line SABL, a complementary sense line SABLB, a bit line BL, and a complementary bit line BLB; the bit line BL originates from the memory array 120 on the first side, and the complementary bit line BLB originates from the memory array 120 on the second side; the sense line SABL is used to transmit data to the bit line BL, and the complementary sense line SABLB is used to transmit data to the complementary bit line BLB; a first conductive line 111 is one of the bit line BL, the complementary bit line BLB, the sense line SABL, or the complementary sense line SABLB; and a second conductive line 112 is one of the sense line SABL or the complementary sense line SABLB. When the sense amplifier circuit SA is in the amplification phase, the potential of the first conductive line 111 and the potential of the second conductive line 112 represent different data.

[0098] In some embodiments, the device in the sensing amplifier circuit SA further includes: a pre-charge transistor M9; wherein the drain of the pre-charge transistor M9 is connected to the sensing line SABL and / or the complementary sensing line SABLB, and the gate of the pre-charge transistor M9 is used to receive the pre-charge signal PreEO, and when the pre-charge signal PreEO is activated (for example, at a high level), the pre-charge transistor M9 is turned on to provide a pre-charge voltage Vad2 to the sensing line SABL or the complementary sensing line SABLB.
[0099] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conductive line 111 is one of the bit line BL, the complementary bit line BLB, the sensing line SABL, or the complementary sensing line SABLB, and the second conductive line 112 is one of the sensing line SABL or the complementary sensing line SABLB. At the same time, when the sensing amplifier circuit SA is in the amplification stage, the potential of the first conductive line 111 and the potential of the second conductive line 112 represent different data.
[0100] For example, when the first conductive line 111 is a complementary bit line BLB, the second conductive line 112 can be a sensing line SABL; for another example, when the first conductive line 111 is a bit line BL, the second conductive line 112 can be a complementary sensing line SABLB; for another example, the first conductive line 111 can also be a sensing line SABL, and the second conductive line 112 can also be a complementary sensing line SABLB; and so on. In this way, the voltage of the first conductive line 111 of another group can simultaneously affect the voltage of the first conductive line 111 and the second conductive line 112 in the current conductive line group, that is, simultaneously increase or decrease the voltage of the first conductive line 111 and the second conductive line 112 in the current conductive line group. This helps avoid reducing the voltage difference between the first conductive line 111 and the second conductive line 112 in the current conductive line group due to affecting only the voltage of the first conductive line 111 (or the second conductive line 112) in the current conductive line group, thereby ensuring that the sense amplifier circuit can effectively amplify data.
[0101] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The plurality of sensing amplifier circuits SA are divided into a plurality of sensing amplifier circuit groups 130. Each sensing amplifier circuit group 130 includes two non-overlapping sensing amplifier circuits SA arranged along the X-axis direction.

[0105] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 or Figure 7 , the first wire group 110a is translated along the X-axis direction and overlaps with the second wire group 110b.

[0107] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The first part of the first wire group 110a and the first part of the second wire group 110b are mirror-symmetrical along the Y-axis direction, and the second part of the first wire group 110a overlaps with the second part of the second wire group 110b after being translated along the X-axis direction.
[0108] For example, see Figure 8 The first portion of first wire group 110a and the first portion of second wire group 110b are located in region A. In region A, first wire 111a and second wire 112b in first wire group 110a are mirror-symmetric with first wire 111b and second wire 112b in second wire group 110b along the Y-axis.

[0118] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 7 or Figure 8 For the first wire group 110a, the first end of the sensing line SABL1 (as shown in area C) is located on the side of the first end of the complementary bit line BLB1 (as shown in area D) away from the second wire group 110b; the first end of the sensing line SABL1 refers to the end of the sensing line SABL1 close to the complementary bit line BLB1, and the first end of the complementary bit line BLB1 refers to the end of the complementary bit line BLB1 away from the sensing line SABL1.

[0124] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conductive layer is a single conductive layer (M1 layer). Figure 4Based on the above, the layout of the plurality of conductive line groups is described in detail. The first conductive line 111 is a complementary bit line BLB, and the second conductive line 112 is a sensing line SABL.
[0125] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sensing line SABL and the complementary sensing line SABLB of the same wire group 110 are twisted; for example, please refer to Figure 9 , the sensing line SABL1 of the first conductive line group 110 a and the complementary bit line BLB1 of the first conductive line group 110 a are twisted.
[0126] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 The sensing line SABL1 of the first wire group 110a includes a first sub-segment 11, a second sub-segment 12, and a third sub-segment 13, and the complementary bit line BLB1 of the first wire group 110a includes a fourth sub-segment 14 and a fifth sub-segment 15; the first sub-segment 11 to the fifth sub-segment 15 all extend along the Y-axis direction; the first sub-segment 11, the fifth sub-segment 15, and the third sub-segment 13 are arranged in sequence along the Y-axis direction; the fourth sub-segment 14, the second sub-segment 12, and the complementary sensing line SABLB1 of the first wire group 110a are arranged in sequence along the Y-axis direction; the third sub-segment 12 and the complementary sensing line SABLB1 of the first wire group 110a are arranged adjacent to each other along the X-axis direction; the first sub-segment 11 is located on the side of the fourth sub-segment 14 away from the second wire group 110b; the second wire group 110b and the first wire group 110a are mirror-symmetrical.
[0127] In this disclosure, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 9 To clearly distinguish the sense amplifier circuits SA and corresponding wire groups 110 in the sense amplifier circuit groups 130 adjacent along the Y-axis, in the following description, the wire group corresponding to the sense amplifier circuit SA3 is referred to as the third wire group 110c, and the wire group corresponding to the sense amplifier circuit SA4 is referred to as the fourth wire group 110d. In other words, the sense amplifier circuit SA3 corresponding to the third wire group 110c and the sense amplifier circuit SA1 corresponding to the first wire group 110a each belong to the sense amplifier circuit groups 130 adjacent along the Y-axis, while the sense amplifier circuit SA4 corresponding to the fourth wire group 110d and the sense amplifier circuit SA2 corresponding to the second wire group 110b each belong to the sense amplifier circuit groups 130 adjacent along the Y-axis.
[0128] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 The complementary sensing line SABLB1 of the first wire group 110a, the complementary bit line BLB3 (that is, the first wire 111c) of the third wire group 110c, the complementary bit line BLB4 (that is, the first wire 111d) of the fourth wire group 110d, and the complementary sensing line SABLB2 of the second wire group 110b are arranged in sequence along the X-axis direction.
[0129] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 , the first sub-segment 11 and the second sub-segment 12 are connected through the connection structure of the same conductive layer, the second sub-segment 12 and the third sub-segment 13 are connected through the connection structure of the same conductive layer; the fourth sub-segment 14 and the fifth sub-segment 15 are connected through the connection structure across different conductive layers or through the gate layer. In the embodiment of this disclosure, please continue to refer to Figure 9 The fourth sub-segment 14 and the fifth sub-segment 15 are connected through a connection structure spanning different conductive layers or through a gate layer. Specifically, the fourth sub-segment 14 and the fifth sub-segment 15 are located on the first conductive layer (M1 layer). To avoid conflict with the complementary bit line BLB1 and the sensing line SABL1 of the first conductive line group 110a, the fourth sub-segment 14 is connected to the gate layer in the underlying active device layer after it approaches one end of the sensing line SABL1 (i.e., connected to the gate of the device in the active device layer, for example). Figure 12 The fourth sub-segment 14 is connected to the end of the fifth sub-segment 15 close to the sensing line SABL1 in the X-axis direction through the gate of the device in the gate layer.
[0130] Accordingly, because the conductive layer of the fourth sub-segment 14 has already been changed to the gate layer before the line change, the fourth sub-segment 14 includes two parts located on the first conductive layer and the gate layer, respectively. Similarly, the fifth sub-segment 15 also includes two parts located on the first conductive layer and the gate layer, respectively. When referring to jumpers later, the conductive layers of each sub-segment can be understood in the same way as described here and will not be further explained.
[0131] In this way, by using the gate to cross layers, the wires can achieve line changes, which not only avoids the long connection windings caused by layout limitations, reduces resistance and delay, but also further reduces the number of line lanes occupied and avoids line congestion. In addition, in some other embodiments, the fourth sub-segment 14 and the fifth sub-segment 15 can also be connected through the connection structure of the same conductive layer, while the first sub-segment 11 and the second sub-segment 12 can be connected through the connection structure of different conductive layers or through the gate layer. The present disclosure does not limit the sub-segments connected by the specific jumper wires, and subsequent embodiments can be understood in this way.
[0132] Book Figure 9In the illustrated embodiment, when the sense amplifier circuit SA is in the amplification stage, the potential of the complementary bit line BLB is different from the potential of the sensing line SABL. Furthermore, since the sensing line SABL1 of the first wire group 110a is located between the complementary bit line BLB1 of the first wire group 110a and the complementary bit line BLB3 of the third wire group, that is, the second sub-segment 12 is located between the fifth sub-segment 15 and the complementary bit line BLB3 of the third wire group, the complementary bit line BLB3 can simultaneously exert a coupling effect on the complementary bit line BLB1 and the sensing line SABL1, causing the potentials of the complementary bit line BLB1 and the sensing line SABL1 to be simultaneously pulled up or down, thereby ensuring that the voltage difference between the complementary bit line BLB1 and the sensing line SABL1 meets the amplification requirement.
[0133] In some embodiments, the first conductive layer includes a first conductive sublayer (M1-1 layer) and a second conductive sublayer (M1-2 layer) stacked along the Z-axis direction, and the heights of the first conductive sublayer and the second conductive sublayer are both lower than the height of the upper electrode of the storage capacitor in the memory cell. Figure 8 Based on the above, the layout of the plurality of conductive line groups is described in detail. The first conductive line 111 is a complementary bit line BLB, and the second conductive line 112 is a sensing line SABL.
[0134] In some embodiments, the sensing line SABL and the complementary sensing line SABLB of the same wire group 110 are twisted. Figure 10 , the sensing line SABL2 of the second conductive line group 110b and the complementary bit line BLB2 of the second conductive line group 110b are twisted.
[0135] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 The complementary bit line BLB1, the sensing line SABL1, and at least a portion of the complementary sensing line SABLB1 of the first wire group 110a, and the complementary bit line BLB2, the sensing line SABL2, and at least a portion of the complementary sensing line SABLB2 of the second wire group 110b are all located in the first conductive sublayer (M1-1 layer).
[0136] Here, the complementary bit line BLB1, the sensing line SABL1, and at least a portion of the complementary sensing line SABLB1 of the first conductive line group 110a are all located in the first conductive sublayer, which means that at least a portion of the complementary bit line BLB1, at least a portion of the sensing line SABL1, and at least a portion of the complementary sensing line SABLB1 are all located in the first conductive sublayer; the same applies to the second conductive line group 110b.
[0137] It should be noted that at least a portion of the complementary sensing line SABLB1 and at least a portion of the complementary sensing line SABLB2 are jumped to the second conductive layer (ie, the second metal layer M2 ) or the gate layer.
[0138] In this disclosure, please continue to refer to Figure 10 The sensing line SABL1 of the first conductive line group 110a includes a first sub-segment 11 and a second sub-segment 12, the complementary sensing line SABLB1 of the first conductive line group 110a includes a third sub-segment 13 and a fourth sub-segment 14, the sensing line SABL2 of the second conductive line group 110b includes a fifth sub-segment 15, a sixth sub-segment 16 and a seventh sub-segment 17, the complementary sensing line SABLB2 of the second conductive line group 110b includes an eighth sub-segment 18 and a ninth sub-segment 19, and the complementary bit line BLB2 of the second conductive line group 110b includes a tenth sub-segment 20 and an eleventh sub-segment 21; the first sub-segments 11 to 11th sub-segments 21 are all along the Y-axis. The third subsegment 13 and the second subsegment 12 are aligned along the Y-axis direction; the first subsegment 11, the fourth subsegment 14, and the complementary bit line BLB1 of the first conductive line group 110a are aligned along the Y-axis direction; the eighth subsegment 18, the sixth subsegment 16, and the tenth subsegment 20 are aligned along the Y-axis direction; the fifth subsegment 15, the ninth subsegment 19, the eleventh subsegment 21, and the seventh subsegment 17 are aligned along the Y-axis direction; the third subsegment 13, the first subsegment 11, the eighth subsegment 18, and the fifth subsegment 15 are arranged in sequence along the X-axis direction; the second subsegment 12, the fourth subsegment 14, the sixth subsegment 16, and the ninth subsegment 19 are arranged in sequence along the X-axis direction.
[0139] In this disclosure, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 10 To clearly distinguish the sense amplifier circuits SA and corresponding wire groups 110 in the sense amplifier circuit groups 130 adjacent along the Y-axis, in the following description, the wire group corresponding to the sense amplifier circuit SA3 is referred to as the third wire group 110c, and the wire group corresponding to the sense amplifier circuit SA4 is referred to as the fourth wire group 110d. In other words, the sense amplifier circuit SA3 corresponding to the third wire group 110c and the sense amplifier circuit SA1 corresponding to the first wire group 110a each belong to the sense amplifier circuit groups 130 adjacent along the Y-axis, while the sense amplifier circuit SA4 corresponding to the fourth wire group 110d and the sense amplifier circuit SA2 corresponding to the second wire group 110b each belong to the sense amplifier circuit groups 130 adjacent along the Y-axis.
[0140] It should be noted that, in order to clearly show Figure 10 The positional relationship of the wires in the first conductive sublayer (M1-1 layer), Figure 10 The wires in the second conductive sublayer (M1-2 layer) are drawn outside the first conductive line group 110a and the second conductive line group 110b; in fact, the positions of the wires in the second conductive sublayer (M1-2 layer) are as follows: Figure 11 shown.
[0141] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11The complementary bit line BLB3 of the third wire group 110c and the complementary bit line BLB4 of the fourth wire group 110d are located in the second conductive sublayer (M1-2 layer); the projections of the complementary bit line BLB3 of the third wire group 110c and the complementary bit line BLB1 of the first wire group 110a along the Z-axis direction at least partially overlap; the projections of the complementary bit line BLB4 of the fourth wire group 110d and the complementary bit line BLB2 of the second wire group 110b along the Z-axis direction at least partially overlap.
[0142] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 The first subsegment 11 and the second subsegment 12 are connected via a connection structure on the same conductive sublayer; the fifth subsegment 15 and the sixth subsegment 16 are connected via a connection structure on the same conductive layer; the sixth subsegment 16 and the seventh subsegment 17 are connected via a connection structure on the same conductive layer; the third subsegment 13 and the fourth subsegment 14 are connected via a connection structure that spans different conductive layers or via a gate layer; the eighth subsegment 18 and the ninth subsegment 19 are connected via a connection structure that spans different conductive layers or via a gate layer; and the tenth subsegment 20 and the eleventh subsegment 21 are connected via a connection structure that spans different conductive layers or via a gate layer. In this way, cross-layer connections (e.g., via a gate layer or a second conductive layer) help avoid excessively long connection wires due to layout limitations, thereby reducing resistance and delay.
[0143] exist Figure 11 In the illustrated embodiment, since part of the complementary bit line BLB2 (i.e., the eleventh subsegment 21) and part of the sensing line SABL2 (i.e., the seventh subsegment) of the second conductive line group 110b are not located in the adjacent lower layer of the complementary bit line BLB4 in the fourth conductive line group 110d, it is beneficial to reduce the coupling between the complementary bit line BLB2 and the sensing line SABL2 and the complementary bit line BLB4.
[0144] In addition, the complementary sensing line SABLB1 and the sensing line SABL1 of the first wire group 110a extend side by side and are twisted with each other (as shown by the first sub-segment 11 and the third sub-segment 13, and the second sub-segment 12 and the fourth sub-segment 14). This can reduce the variation amplitude of the noise in the sensing amplifier circuit SA, thereby making the noise more uniform, which is beneficial to improving the performance of the semiconductor structure.
[0145] It should be noted that the above embodiment is described by taking the first conductive line 111 as the complementary bit line BLB and the second conductive line 112 as the sensing line SABL as an example; in other embodiments, the first conductive line 111 can be the bit line BL, and the second conductive line 112 can be the complementary sensing line SABLB.
