[0057] The embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of this disclosure and the features thereof can be combined arbitrarily with each other.

[0058] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

[0059] The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the dimensions shown in the drawings, and the shapes and sizes of the components in the drawings do not reflect actual proportions. Furthermore, the drawings schematically illustrate ideal examples, and the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the drawings.

[0060] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., used in this disclosure are provided to avoid confusion among the constituent elements and do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance.

[0061] In this disclosure, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification of the specification, and does not imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, the disclosure is not limited to the terms used herein and may be appropriately replaced as appropriate.

[0062] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to physical or signal connections, contact or integral connections; direct connections, indirect connections via intermediate components, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0063] In this disclosure, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. In this disclosure, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0064] In this disclosure, the first electrode may be the drain electrode and the second electrode may be the source electrode, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or where the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in this disclosure, the "source electrode" and the "drain electrode" can be interchanged.

[0065] In this disclosure, "connection" includes the situation where constituent elements are connected together by a component having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "component having some electrical function," as long as it enables the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected constituent elements. Examples of "component having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with various functions.

[0066] In this disclosure, "parallel" means approximately parallel or nearly parallel, for example, two straight lines forming an angle of -10° or more and less than 10°, and therefore also includes angles of -5° or more and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" means approximately perpendicular, for example, two straight lines forming an angle of 80° or more and less than 100°, and therefore also includes angles of 85° or more and less than 95°.

[0067] In this embodiment of the disclosure, "A and B are an integral structure" can refer to a structure without obvious boundaries such as discontinuities or gaps in its microstructure. Generally, an integral structure is formed by patterning interconnected membrane layers on a single membrane layer. For example, A and B may be formed using the same material as a single membrane layer and simultaneously created through the same patterning process, resulting in a structure with interconnected relationships.

[0068] In this embodiment of the disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary range of the orthographic projection of A, or the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.

[0069] FIG. 1A A cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device provided for some embodiments along the AA' direction parallel to substrate 1. FIG. 1B A cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device provided for some embodiments along the BB' direction parallel to substrate 1.FIG. 1C For along FIG. 1A A cross-sectional view perpendicular to the CC' direction of substrate 1. FIG. 1D For along FIG. 1A A cross-sectional view of the section perpendicular to the DD' direction of substrate 1. (See figure) FIG. 1A to FIG. 1D As shown, this disclosure provides a semiconductor device including a multilayer memory cell array and multiple bit lines 30 vertically stacked on a substrate 1. The memory cell array may include at least one column of multiple memory cells distributed along a second direction Y parallel to the substrate 1, and multiple word lines 40. The multiple word lines 40 may be distributed in different layers.

[0070] In some embodiments, each layer of the memory cell array may include a plurality of memory cells distributed along a first direction X parallel to the substrate 1 and a second direction Y parallel to the substrate 1. The first direction X and the second direction Y may intersect but are not perpendicular.

[0071] In some embodiments, the angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y is, for example, 30° to 60°.

[0072] The bit line 30 can extend through the memory cells in different layers along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1. Multiple memory cells stacked at the same position in different layers along the direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 are connected to the same bit line 30. Multiple memory cells in the same layer and column are respectively connected to multiple bit lines 30 spaced apart along the second direction Y. In the solution provided in this embodiment, the bit lines 30 are arranged along the second direction Y which is not perpendicular to the first direction X, so that the bit lines 30 are misaligned in the direction perpendicular to the first direction X, thereby increasing the distance between adjacent bit lines and reducing the parasitic capacitance between bit lines.

[0073] In some embodiments, two adjacent memory cells along the first direction X are connected to the same bit line 30. Each pair of memory cells can be grouped together, and adjacent memory cells along the first direction X within the same group are connected to the same bit line 30.

[0074] The word line 40 can extend along the second direction Y. The word line 40 may include two end faces disposed opposite each other along the second direction Y and a side surface located between the two end faces (i.e., a surface along the extension direction of the word line 40). The multiple word lines 40 of the same memory cell array can be distributed at intervals along the first direction X. The word lines 40 of memory cell arrays of different layers can be stacked in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1.

[0075] The storage unit can be a 1T1C storage unit, or it can be a storage unit with other structures.

[0076] Taking a 1T1C memory cell as an example, the memory cell may include a transistor and a capacitor connected to the transistor. The transistor and capacitor of the same memory cell may be distributed along a first direction X. The capacitor, the word line 40, and the bit line 30 are distributed along the first direction X. Multiple capacitors connected to multiple memory cells in the same column are distributed along a second direction Y.

[0077] The transistor may include a semiconductor layer 23 surrounding a side surface of the word line 40 and connected to the bit line 30. Semiconductor layers 23 of memory cells in the same column are spaced apart along a second direction Y and surround the same word line 40. Semiconductor layer 23 may include two side surfaces (i.e., a surface facing the word line 40 and a surface facing away from the word line) and two end faces connecting the two side surfaces.

[0078] A gate insulating layer 24 is disposed between the semiconductor layer 23 and the word line 40. The gate insulating layer 24 surrounds the side surface of the word line 40. The gate insulating layer 24 may include a side surface facing the word line 40 and a side surface away from the word line 40.

[0079] In some embodiments, the gate insulating layers 24 of the memory cells in the same column are spaced apart along the second direction Y and surround the same word line 40.

[0080] The bit line 30 can be disposed in a bit line via (i.e., the first via K1 in the subsequent embodiment) that penetrates the multilayer memory cell along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1. The bit line vias are spaced apart along the second direction Y.

[0081] In some embodiments, the capacitor may include a first capacitor electrode 41 and a second capacitor electrode. The first capacitor electrode 41 is connected to the side of the semiconductor layer 23 opposite to the bit line 30.

[0082] In some embodiments, the contact surfaces of the semiconductor layer 23 and the first capacitor electrode 41, and the contact surfaces of the semiconductor layer 23 and the bit line 30, are misaligned in the first direction X. Taking any memory cell as an example, referred to as the target memory cell, and the two memory cells adjacent to the target memory cell along the second direction, referred to as the first memory cell and the second memory cell, respectively, one of the contact surfaces of the semiconductor layer 23 and the first capacitor electrode 41, and the other of the contact surfaces of the semiconductor layer 23 and the bit line 30, is closer to the first memory cell, and the other is closer to the second memory cell. That is, compared to the scheme where the bit lines are distributed in a direction perpendicular to the first direction X, in this embodiment, the semiconductor layer 23 is tilted around the word line 40, and the surrounding direction of the semiconductor layer 23 is not perpendicular to the extension direction of the word line 40.

[0083] The second capacitor electrode may include a first sub-electrode 421 and a second sub-electrode 422. The first capacitor electrode 41 may be surrounded by a first dielectric layer 431, and the second capacitor electrode 422 may be partially surrounded by a second dielectric layer 432.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first capacitor electrode 41 may include a first portion extending in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 and a second portion extending from both ends of the first portion toward the first sub-electrode 421; the first portion is connected to the semiconductor layer 23.

[0085] In some embodiments, the semiconductor device may further include a capacitor via (i.e., a second via in subsequent embodiments) penetrating multiple layers of the memory cells. A first capacitor electrode 41 may be disposed on the sidewall of the capacitor via. Multiple first capacitor electrodes 41 of multiple memory cells at the same location in different layers are disposed on the sidewall of the capacitor via and spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1. A first sub-electrode 421 and a first dielectric layer 431 are distributed within the capacitor via. The first dielectric layer 431 covers the inner wall of the capacitor via where the first capacitor electrode 41 is formed, and the first sub-electrode 421 fills the capacitor via. A second sub-electrode 422 and a second dielectric layer 432 are distributed outside the capacitor via.

[0086] In some embodiments, a first isolation hole penetrating a multilayer memory cell is provided between adjacent bit lines 30 along the second direction Y and between adjacent word lines 40 along the first direction X. The first isolation hole is filled with a first isolation layer 151 of an integral structure. The first isolation hole exposes the side surface of the adjacent word line 40 and the side surface of the adjacent bit line 30 (i.e. the surface of the bit line 30 extending in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 1).

[0087] In some embodiments, the first isolation hole also exposes the side surface of the gate insulating layer 24 (which may include a gate insulating layer 24 for four memory cells, i.e., four memory cells adjacent along the first direction X and the second direction Y) facing the word line 40, and exposes the end face of the semiconductor layer 23 (which may include a semiconductor layer 23 for four memory cells) adjacent to the first isolation hole. The first isolation layer 151 contacts the exposed side surface of the gate insulating layer 24 and the end face of the exposed semiconductor layer 23.

[0088] In some embodiments, a second isolation via penetrating the multilayer memory cell is provided between adjacent capacitor vias along the second direction Y. The second isolation via is filled with a second isolation layer 152 of an integral structure. The second isolation via exposes the first capacitor electrode 41 in the adjacent capacitor vias (including two capacitor vias adjacent along the second direction Y), as well as the side surface of the word line 40 adjacent to the capacitor vias. The second isolation layer 152 can contact a first portion of the exposed first capacitor electrode 41 (can contact the first portions of the two first capacitor electrodes 41 adjacent along the second direction Y), and contact the side surface of the exposed word line 40. The second isolation via also exposes a second dielectric layer 432, that is, the second isolation layer 152 contacts the second dielectric layer 432.

[0089] In some embodiments, the second isolation via may also expose the side surface of the adjacent gate insulating layer 24 (which may include the gate insulating layers 24 of two adjacent memory cells along the second direction Y) and the end face of the adjacent semiconductor layer 23 (which may include the semiconductor layers 23 of two adjacent memory cells along the second direction Y). The second isolation layer 152 contacts the exposed side surface of the gate insulating layer 24 and the exposed end face of the semiconductor layer 23.

[0090] In some embodiments, the contact surface between the word line 40 and the first isolation layer 151 may form a recess away from the first isolation layer 151, and the contact surface between the word line 40 and the second isolation layer 152 may form a recess away from the second isolation layer 152. The solution provided in this embodiment can maximize the distance between the word line 40 and the electrodes of adjacent word lines or capacitors, thereby reducing the coupling capacitance.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first isolation hole may extend along the second direction Y, and a plurality of first isolation holes distributed between a row of bit lines 30 are sequentially staggered along the first direction X. (See reference...) FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B The first isolation hole K3' in the middle, and the multiple first isolation holes K3' between a row of bit lines 30 are misaligned along the first direction X, and are in the same direction as the misalignment of the bit line holes.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second isolation hole may extend along a second direction Y, and a plurality of second isolation holes distributed among a row of capacitor holes are sequentially staggered along a first direction X. (Reference) FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B The second isolation hole K4' in the middle, the multiple second isolation holes K4' between a row of capacitor holes are staggered in sequence along the first direction X, and the staggered direction is the same as that of the capacitor holes.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first insulating layer 151 and the second insulating layer 152 may be manufactured simultaneously. For example, the first insulating layer 151 and the second insulating layer 152 may be the fifth insulating layer 15 described in subsequent embodiments.

[0094] In some embodiments, the second sub-electrodes 422 of multiple memory cells arranged in the same column along the second direction Y can be connected to form an integral structure. The second sub-electrode 422 may include a first sub-part extending through the multiple memory cells in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1 and a plurality of second sub-parts extending from the first sub-part in a direction parallel to the substrate 1.
