However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, by providing these embodiments, the present application becomes more comprehensive and complete, and the ideas of the exemplary embodiments can be comprehensively conveyed to those skilled in the art.
[0021] Furthermore, the described features, structures, or properties can be combined in any preferred manner in one or more embodiments. Many specific details are provided in the following description to provide a complete understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will understand that it is possible to implement the technical embodiments of the present application without one or more specific details, or to employ other methods, components, apparatus, steps, etc. In other cases, well-known methods, apparatus, implementations, or operations are not shown or described in detail so as not to obscure the embodiments of the present application.
[0022] This application is described in further detail below in reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the technical features relating to the various embodiments of the application described below can be combined with each other, insofar as they do not conflict with each other. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative and are intended for use in interpreting the application, and should not be understood as limiting the application.
[0023] Embodiments of this disclosure provide a memory which may include a substrate and at least one storage layer.
[0024] The memory according to the embodiment of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.
[0025] Referring to Figure 1, the substrate 1 may have a multilayer structure. For example, the substrate 1 may include a semiconductor base layer 10 and an insulating base layer 11 formed on the semiconductor base layer 10. The semiconductor base layer 10 may include a semiconductor material such as single-crystal silicon, but is not limited to this, and may also include a semiconductor material such as germanium (Ge). The insulating base layer 11 may include an insulating material such as silicon dioxide, but is not limited to this, and depending on the actual situation, the insulating base layer 11 may be made of other insulating materials.
[0026] It should be noted that the substrate 1 in this embodiment is not limited to the laminated structure shown in Figure 1, but may also be a single-layer structure. For example, depending on the specific circumstances, the substrate 1 may be a single-layer structure made of a semiconductor material, or a single-layer structure made of an insulating material, etc.
[0027] As shown in Figure 1, a storage layer 2 can be formed on the substrate 1. For example, if the substrate 1 is a laminated structure including a semiconductor base layer 10 and an insulating base layer 11, the storage layer 2 may be formed on the upper surface of the insulating base layer 11, away from the semiconductor base layer 10.
[0028] Continuing to refer to the figure, the storage layer 2 may include a storage cell. The storage cell may include, for example, two transistors, a read transistor 201 and a write transistor 202, and both the read transistor 201 and the write transistor 202 may be of CAA (Channel-All-Around, vertical annular channel structure) type. Specifically, the read transistor 201 may comprise a first gate 2011, a first semiconductor layer 2012 that surrounds the outer periphery of the first gate 2011 at least horizontally, and a first gate insulating layer 2013 formed between the first gate 2011 and the first semiconductor layer 2012. The write transistor 202 may comprise a second gate 2021, a second semiconductor layer 2022 that surrounds the outer periphery of the second gate 2021 at least horizontally, and a second gate insulating layer 2023 formed between the second gate 2021 and the second semiconductor layer 2022.
[0029] For example, the materials of the first semiconductor layer 2012 and the second semiconductor layer 2022 may be the same. For instance, both the first and second semiconductor layers 2012 and 2022 may be made of IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide). By manufacturing the semiconductor layers using IGZO, it becomes unnecessary to dope the first and second semiconductor layers 2012 and 2022 to form source and drain regions, resulting in reduced leakage current, longer storage time, and improved storage performance. However, this is not limited to this, and the first and second semiconductor layers 2012 and 2022 can be formed from other semiconductor materials such as IAZO (indium aluminum zinc oxide), as long as the storage time and storage performance of the transistor can be guaranteed. Furthermore, the materials of the first and second semiconductor layers 2012 and 2022 may differ depending on the specific circumstances.
[0030] For example, the materials of the first gate 2011 and the second gate 2021 may be the same. For instance, both the first gate 2011 and the second gate 2021 may be manufactured from a conductive material such as metallic tungsten, but are not limited to this. Other materials with good conductivity may be used depending on the specific needs. Furthermore, the materials of the first gate 2011 and the second gate 2021 may also be different depending on the specific circumstances.
[0031] For example, the materials of the first gate insulating layer 2013 and the second gate insulating layer 2023 may be the same. For instance, both the first gate insulating layer 2013 and the second gate insulating layer 2023 may be composed of an insulating material such as silicon dioxide, but are not limited to this, and may be composed of other insulating materials. Furthermore, the materials of the first gate insulating layer 2013 and the second gate insulating layer 2023 may be different depending on the specific circumstances.
[0032] In this embodiment, the first gate 2011 of the read transistor 201 can be designed in a groove shape, specifically, in the read transistor 201, the first gate 2011 may include a gate sidewall 2011a and a gate bottom wall 2011b, the gate sidewall 2011a is arranged horizontally surrounding the gate bottom wall 2011b and extends away from the substrate 1, and the gate sidewall 2011a and the gate bottom wall 2011b form a gate groove, and a part of the write transistor 202 may be fitted vertically into the read transistor 201, specifically, a part of the second semiconductor layer 2022 in the write transistor 202 may be fitted into the gate groove of the first gate 2011 and in contact with at least a part of the gate groove of the first gate 2011, that is, in contact with at least one of the gate sidewall 2011a and the gate bottom wall 2011b.
[0033] This invention, by vertically embedding a portion of the CAA-type write transistor 202 of the storage cell into the CAA-type read transistor 201, can reduce the horizontal area occupied by the storage cell while ensuring storage density, compared to a planar 2T0C-type storage cell. It can also reduce the vertical height of the storage cell, thus reducing the overall volume of the storage cell. This reduces the space occupied by the storage cell, allowing more storage cells to be placed within a given volume of memory, thereby improving the memory's storage density.
[0034] Furthermore, the present invention achieves connection between the write transistor 202 and the read transistor 201 by placing the semiconductor layer of the write transistor 202 in the gate groove of the gate of the read transistor 201, thereby directly contacting the gate of the read transistor 201. Compared to planar 2T0C type storage cells, there is no need to design an additional connection pattern to connect the write transistor 202 and the read transistor 201 together, thus reducing the requirements of the photolithography process in the manufacturing process, improving product yield, and lowering manufacturing costs.
[0035] The position where the gate groove of the first gate 2011 contacts the second semiconductor layer 2022 may be understood as a storage node of the storage cell. For example, in Figure 1, the position where the gate bottom wall 2011b contacts the second semiconductor layer 2022 may be understood as a storage node.
[0036] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1, in the write transistor 202, the second semiconductor layer 2022, the second gate 2021, and the second gate insulating layer 2023 may have a fitting portion and an extension portion, the fitting portion may be a part of the second semiconductor layer 2022, the second gate 2021, and the second gate insulating layer 2023 fitted into the gate groove. The fitting portion of the second semiconductor layer 2022 is in contact with at least a part of the gate groove to realize a connection between the write transistor 202 and the read transistor 201, and the extension portion is a part of the second semiconductor layer 2022, the second gate 2021, and the second gate insulating layer 2023 located on the side of the fitting portion away from the substrate 1, and it should be understood that this extension portion is positioned to protrude away from the substrate 1 relative to the read transistor 201.
[0037] In this embodiment, by fitting the bottoms of the second semiconductor layer 2022, the second gate 2021, and the second gate insulating layer 2023 of the writing transistor 202 into the gate groove of the first gate 2011, the vertical height of the storage cell can be further reduced while ensuring storage density.
[0038] As an example, referring to Figure 1, the fitting portion of the second semiconductor layer 2022 may include a second semiconductor sidewall 2022a and a second semiconductor bottom wall 2022b, the second semiconductor sidewall 2022a is arranged horizontally surrounding the second semiconductor bottom wall 2022b and extends away from the substrate 1, the second semiconductor sidewall 2022a and the second semiconductor bottom wall 2022b form a surrounding second semiconductor groove, and the fitting portion of the second gate 2021 and the fitting portion of the second gate insulating layer 2023 are arranged within the second semiconductor groove.
[0039] Referring to Figure 1, both the bottom surface of the second semiconductor bottom wall 2022b and the bottom surface of the second semiconductor side wall 2022a are in contact with the gate bottom wall 2011b. This design ensures a sufficient contact area between the second semiconductor layer 2022 and the first gate 2011, and also reduces the difficulty of the manufacturing process.
[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1, the storage cell includes an insulating medium sidewall 203a that is fitted into the gate groove and horizontally surrounds the outer periphery of the fitted portion of the second semiconductor layer 2022, the outer periphery of the fitted portion of the second semiconductor layer 2022 being insulated from the gate sidewall 2011a by the insulating medium sidewall 203a, and the bottom surface of the fitted portion of the second semiconductor layer 2022 being in contact with the gate bottom wall 2011b. Such a design allows the fitted portion of the second semiconductor layer 2022 to be part of the channel of the write transistor 202 while enabling connection between the write transistor 202 and the read transistor 201, thereby reducing the height of the second semiconductor layer 2022 protruding from the read transistor 201, that is, reducing the height of the extension of the second semiconductor layer 2022, and thereby further reducing the vertical height of the storage cell.
[0041] In some embodiments, the insulating medium sidewall 203a may include a low-dielectric material portion made from a material with a dielectric constant of less than 3.0, which horizontally surrounds the outer periphery of the fitting portion of the second semiconductor layer 2022, thereby reducing parasitic capacitance between the second semiconductor layer 2022 and the first gate 2011.
[0042] In other embodiments, the insulating medium sidewall 203a also includes a silicon dioxide material layer that horizontally surrounds the outer periphery of the fitting portion of the second semiconductor layer 2022, thereby reducing material costs while achieving insulation between the fitting portion of the second semiconductor layer 2022 and the gate sidewall 2011a of the first gate 2011.
[0043] In other embodiments, the insulating medium sidewall 203a includes a laminated structure in which a low dielectric material portion and a silicon dioxide material layer are fitted together, thereby reducing parasitic capacitance while reducing material costs.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 1, the storage layer 2 may include a first signal line 204 and a second signal line 205 in addition to the storage cell. As shown in relation to Figures 1 to 3, the first signal line 204 is formed on the substrate 1, and the first signal line 204 extends in a first horizontal direction X and contacts the bottom surface and / or bottom region of the outer surface of the first semiconductor layer 2012. The second signal line 205 is formed on one side of the first signal line 204 away from the substrate 1, and a first interlayer insulating layer 206 is formed between the layer where the second signal line 205 is located and the layer where the first signal line 204 is located. The second signal line 205 extends in a second horizontal direction Y that intersects the first horizontal direction X. The second signal line 205 and the first interlayer insulating layer 206 horizontally surround the outer periphery of the first semiconductor layer 2012, and the second signal line 205 contacts the upper region of the outer periphery surface of the first semiconductor layer 2012. One of the first signal line 204 and the second signal line 205 is a read bit line, and the other is a read word line.
[0045] For example, the first signal line 204 and the second signal line 205 may be made of the same material, or both may be made of a conductive material such as metallic tungsten, but are not limited to this, and may be made of other conductive materials. Also, the first signal line 204 and the second signal line 205 may be signal lines formed from a single material, but are not limited to this, and may be composite signal lines formed by laminating multiple materials depending on the specific situation. The first interlayer insulating layer 206 may be made of a material such as silicon dioxide, but are not limited to this, and may be made of other insulating materials depending on the specific situation.

In this embodiment, the first gate insulating layer 2013 and the first gate 2011 are designed according to the shape of the first semiconductor layer 2012 and work together to simplify process steps and reduce process costs while ensuring the channel length of the readout transistor 201.

However, the embodiments are not limited to this, and in other embodiments, referring to Figure 4, a first semiconductor wrap portion 2012c extending horizontally outward is provided on the upper part of the first semiconductor sidewall 2012a, and the first semiconductor wrap portion 2012c is formed on the upper surface of the second signal line 205; a first gate insulating wrap portion 2013c extending horizontally outward is provided on the upper part of the first gate insulating sidewall 2013a, and the first gate insulating wrap portion 2013c is formed on the upper surface of the first semiconductor wrap portion 2012c; and a gate wrap portion 2011c extending horizontally outward is provided on the upper part of the gate sidewall 2011a, and the gate wrap portion 2011c is formed on the upper surface of the first gate insulating wrap portion 2013c.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 1, the storage layer 2 may include a write bit line 207 and a write word line 208 in addition to the storage cell, the first signal line 204 and the second signal line 205. The write bit line 207 is formed on one side of the second signal line 205 away from the substrate 1, and a second interlayer insulating layer 209 is formed between the layer in which the write bit line 207 is located and the layer in which the second signal line 205 is located, and the write bit line 207 and the second interlayer insulating layer 209 horizontally surround the outer periphery of the extension of the second semiconductor layer 2022, and the write bit line 207 is in contact with the outer periphery of the first semiconductor layer 2012. The write word line 208 is formed on one side of the extension of the write bit line 207 and the second gate 2021, away from the substrate 1. A third interlayer insulating layer 210 is formed between the layer where the write word line 208 is located and the layer where the write bit line 207 is located, and the write word line 208 is connected to the upper surface of the extension of the second gate 2021.
[0051] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the write bit line 207 extends in the first horizontal direction X, and the write word line 208 extends in the second horizontal direction Y. This reduces the overlapping area between the write bit line 207 and the second signal line 205, thereby reducing the occurrence of parasitic capacitance between them. However, this is not the only option, and depending on the specific situation, the write bit line 207 may also extend in the second horizontal direction Y, and the write word line 208 may also extend in the first horizontal direction X.
[0052] For example, the writing word line 208 and the writing bit line 207 may be made of the same material, and for example, both may be made of a conductive material such as metallic tungsten, but are not limited to this, and may be made of other conductive materials. Also, the writing word line 208 and the writing bit line 207 may be signal lines formed from a single material, but are not limited to this, and may be composite signal lines formed by laminating multiple materials depending on the specific situation. The second interlayer insulating layer 209 and the third interlayer insulating layer 210 may be made of a material such as silicon dioxide, but are not limited to this, and may be made of other insulating materials depending on the specific situation.
[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 4, a second semiconductor wrap portion 2022c is provided on the upper part of the extension of the second semiconductor layer 2022, extending horizontally outward, and the second semiconductor wrap portion 2022c is formed on the upper surface of the write word line 208. A second gate insulating wrap portion 2023c is provided on the upper part of the extension of the second gate insulating layer 2023, extending horizontally outward, and the second gate insulating wrap portion 2023c is formed on the upper surface of the second semiconductor wrap portion 2022c. The upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the second gate insulating wrap portion 2023c, and a conductive contact pad 2024 is provided in the storage layer 2023. The bottom surface of the conductive contact pad 2024 is in contact with the upper surface of the second gate insulating wrap portion 2023c and the upper surface of the extension of the second gate 2021, and the upper surface of the conductive contact pad 2024 is in contact with the bottom surface of the write word line 208. This design increases the contact area between the write transistor 202 and the write word line 208, thereby ensuring connection stability.
[0054] For example, the conductive contact pad 2024 of this embodiment may be manufactured integrally with the second gate 2021 to reduce process costs, but is not limited thereto, and may be manufactured separately depending on the specific circumstances.
[0055] In embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in combination in Figures 2 and 3, the storage layer 2 may include a plurality of storage cells, which are arranged in an array in a first horizontal direction X and a second horizontal direction Y. The number of first signal lines 204 is equal to the number of rows in the storage cell array structure, and the number of second signal lines 205 is equal to the number of rows in the storage cell array structure. The first signal lines 204 are spaced apart in the second horizontal direction Y, and each first signal line 204 is connected to the first semiconductor layer 2012 of the read transistor 201 in all storage cells in the corresponding row. The second signal lines 205 are spaced apart in the first horizontal direction X, and each second signal line 205 is connected to the first semiconductor layer 2012 of the read transistor 201 in all storage cells in the corresponding column.
[0056] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, if the write bit lines 207 extend in a first horizontal direction X and the write word lines 208 extend in a second horizontal direction Y, then the number of write bit lines 207 is equal to the number of rows in the storage cell array structure, and the number of write word lines 208 is equal to the number of rows in the storage cell array structure. The write bit lines 207 are spaced apart in the second horizontal direction Y, and each write bit line 207 is connected to the second semiconductor layer 2022 of the write transistor 202 in all storage cells in the corresponding row, and the write word lines 208 are spaced apart in the first horizontal direction X, and each write word line 208 is connected to the second gate 2021 of the write transistor 202 in all storage cells in the corresponding column.
[0057] If the write bit lines 207 extend in a second horizontal direction Y and the write word lines 208 extend in a first horizontal direction X, then the number of write bit lines 207 is equal to the number of columns in the storage cell array structure, and the number of write word lines 208 is equal to the number of rows in the storage cell array structure. The write bit lines 207 are spaced apart in the first horizontal direction X, and each write bit line 207 is connected to the second semiconductor layer 2022 of the write transistor 202 in all storage cells in the corresponding column, and the write word lines 208 are spaced apart in the second horizontal direction Y, and each write word line 208 is connected to the second gate 2021 of the write transistor 202 in all storage cells in the corresponding row.
[0058] In this embodiment, by using vertically fitted storage cells, the horizontal area occupied by the storage cells is reduced, and the space occupied by the storage cells is reduced, so that more storage cells can be placed in each storage layer 2, and the storage density of the storage layer 2 is improved.
[0059] In embodiments of this disclosure, referring to Figures 5 and 6, the number of storage layers 2 may be multiple layers, and multiple storage layers 2 may be stacked in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 1. In this embodiment, by employing vertically fitted storage cells, the vertical height of the storage layers 2 is reduced, thereby allowing more storage layers 2 to be placed when the memory height is constant, and improving the memory storage density.
[0060] In some embodiments, of two adjacent storage layers 2, the storage layer 2 closer to the substrate 1 is defined as the bottom storage layer, and the storage layer 2 further away from the substrate 1 is defined as the top storage layer. Referring to Figure 5, in at least two adjacent storage layers 2, a fourth interlayer insulating layer 211 is formed between the layer where the first signal line 204 of the top storage layer is located and the layer where the write word line 208 of the bottom storage layer is located. This design allows for more flexible control of each storage layer 2.
[0061] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 6, at least two adjacent storage layers 2 can share the write word line 208 of the bottom storage layer as the first signal line 204 of the top storage layer. This design allows more storage layers 2 to be placed at a given height, thereby improving the storage density of the memory.
[0062] The disclosed embodiments further provide a method for manufacturing the memory used to produce the memory described in any of the embodiments described above. Below, the structure of the memory will not be described repeatedly, and the method for manufacturing the memory will be described in detail.
[0063] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for manufacturing the memory may include steps S100 and S102.
[0064] Step S100: Provide the substrate 1. For example, as shown in Figure 7, the substrate 1 may be formed by forming an insulating base layer 11 on a semiconductor base layer 10.
[0065] Step S102: Form at least one storage layer 2 on the substrate 1. The step of forming the storage layer 2 may include at least the following:
[0066] In step S1021, a readout transistor 201 is formed on the substrate 1, and the readout transistor 201 in this embodiment has a gate groove.
[0067] In step S1022, a write transistor 202 is formed in the gate groove of the read transistor 201 to form a storage cell.
[0068] The manufacturing method for forming a storage layer on the substrate 1 of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 24.
[0069] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the step of forming the storage layer 2 prior to step S1021 may further include steps S10200, S10201, S10202, and S10203.
[0070] Step S10200: A first signal line 204 is formed on the substrate 1, and the first signal line 204 extends in the first horizontal direction X as shown in Figure 8. For example, as shown in Figure 9, a first metal film covering the entire surface can be deposited on the insulating base layer 11 of the substrate 1, and then the first metal film can be patterned to form a plurality of first signal lines 204 spaced apart in the second horizontal direction Y.
[0071] As shown in Figure 9, a first insulating isolation column 212 is formed between adjacent first signal lines 204 to achieve mutual insulation between adjacent first signal lines 204, and the upper surface of the first insulating isolation column 212 may be flush with the upper surface of the first signal line. The first insulating isolation column 212 may be formed on the substrate 1 before the first signal line 204, or the first signal line 204 may be formed on the substrate 1 before the first insulating isolation column 212.
[0072] Step S10201: A first interlayer insulating layer 206 is formed on the upper surface of the first signal line 204. For example, after forming a plurality of first signal lines 204 spaced apart in a second horizontal direction Y, a first interlayer insulating layer 206 covering the entire surface may be deposited, and the first interlayer insulating layer 206 may cover not only the upper surface of the first signal line 204 but also the upper surface of the first insulating isolation column 212, and thereafter, the upper surface of the first interlayer insulating layer 206 may be polished to a flat surface using a chemical mechanical polishing process.
[0073] Furthermore, when the first insulating isolation column 212 is formed after the first signal line 204, the first interlayer insulating layer 206 may be formed integrally with the first insulating isolation column 212, but is not limited to this, and may be formed separately. That is, the first insulating isolation column 212 is formed first, and then the first interlayer insulating layer 206 is formed.
[0074] In step S10202, a second signal line 205 is formed on the upper surface of the first interlayer insulating layer 206. The second signal line 205 extends in a second horizontal direction Y, and the orthographic projection of the second signal line 205 onto the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the first signal line 204 onto the substrate 1 have a first overlapping region.
[0075] For example, step S10202 may include steps S102021 and S102022. Here, in step S102021, first, as shown in Figure 10, a second metal film 205a is deposited to cover the entire upper surface of the first interlayer insulating layer 206. In step S102022, the second metal film 205a is patterned to form a plurality of second signal lines 205 arranged at intervals in the first horizontal direction X.
[0076] In step S10203: The first housing hole 213 is formed, and the orthographic projection of the first housing hole 213 onto the substrate 1 is located within the first overlapping region, the first housing hole 213 penetrates the second signal line 205 and the first interlayer insulating layer 206, and exposes the first signal line 204.
[0077] Referring to Figure 11, step S10203 can be performed after step S102021 and before step S102022. In this case, the passage of the first housing hole 213 through the second signal line 205, as mentioned in step S10203, can be understood as the passage of the first housing hole 213 through a portion of the second metal film 205a used to form the second signal line 205, and it should be understood that, depending on the specific situation, step S10203 can also be performed after step S102022.
[0078] For example, referring to Figure 11, the first housing hole 213 extends into the interior of the first signal line 204, thereby ensuring the contact area between the subsequently formed readout transistor 201 and the first signal line 204, but is not limited to this. Depending on the specific circumstances, the first housing hole 213 may extend just to the top surface of the first signal line 204, or it may penetrate the first signal line 204. Furthermore, the first housing holes 213 in this embodiment may be provided in multiples and arranged in an array in the first horizontal direction X and the second horizontal direction Y, as shown in Figure 12.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the step of forming the readout transistor 201 may include the step of forming a first semiconductor layer 2012, a first gate insulating layer 2013, and a first gate 2011 within a first accommodating hole 213. The first semiconductor layer 2012 surrounds the outer periphery of the first gate 2011 at least horizontally, and the first gate insulating layer 2013 is formed between the first gate 2011 and the first semiconductor layer 2012. The first gate 2011 includes a gate bottom wall 2011b and a gate side wall 2011a, the gate side wall 2011a surrounding the gate bottom wall 2011b horizontally and extending away from the substrate 1, and the gate side wall 2011a and the gate bottom wall 2011b form surrounding the gate groove, where the first signal line 204 can contact the bottom region of the bottom surface and / or the outer periphery surface of the first semiconductor layer 2012, and the second signal line 205 surrounds the outer periphery of the first semiconductor layer 2012 and contacts the upper region of the outer periphery surface of the first semiconductor layer 2012.
[0080] Step S102022 can be performed after forming the readout transistor 201, but is not limited to this; it can also be performed before forming the readout transistor 201, depending on the specific circumstances.
[0081] More specifically, the step of forming the first semiconductor layer 2012, the first gate insulating layer 2013, and the first gate 2011 includes steps S10210, S10211, S10212, S10213, and S10214.
[0082] In step S10210: A first semiconductor film 214 is formed on the substrate 1, and as shown in Figure 13, the first semiconductor film 214 completely covers the upper surface of the second signal line 205, the hole wall surface of the first accommodating hole 213, and the exposed surface of the first signal line 204 exposed by the first accommodating hole 213. For example, the first semiconductor film 214 may be deposited by atomic layer deposition, and the first semiconductor film 214 may be formed according to the shape of the underlying structural layer. It should be understood that the portion of the first semiconductor film 214 located within the first accommodating hole 213 belongs to the first semiconductor layer 2012 described above.
[0083] Furthermore, if step S102022 is performed after forming the readout transistor 201, the first semiconductor film 214 can completely cover the upper surface of the second signal line 205 in step S10210. This can be understood as the first semiconductor film 214 covering the second metal film 205a, as shown in Figure 13.
[0084] In step S10211: A first gate insulating film 215 is formed on the first semiconductor film 214 so that the first gate insulating film 215 completely covers the first semiconductor film 214, as shown in Figure 13. For example, the first gate insulating film 215 may be deposited by atomic layer deposition, and the first gate insulating film 215 may be formed according to the shape of the underlying structural layer. It should be understood that the portion of the first gate insulating film 215 located within the first accommodating hole 213 belongs to the first gate insulating layer 2013 described above.
[0085] In step S10212: A first conductive film 216 is formed on the first gate insulating film 215, so that the first conductive film 216 completely covers the first gate insulating film 215, as shown in Figure 13. For example, the first conductive film 216 may be deposited by atomic layer deposition, and the first conductive film 216 may be formed according to the shape of the underlying structural layer. It should be understood that the portion of the first conductive film 216 located within the first accommodating hole 213 belongs to the first gate 2011.
[0086] In step S10213, a filling layer 217 is formed on the first conductive film 216, and the filling layer 217 completely covers the first conductive film 216 and fills the first accommodating hole 213. The filling layer 217 may include an insulating medium film 217a and a sacrificial material film 217b formed on the insulating medium film 217a, and the insulating medium film 217a completely covers the first conductive film 216.
[0087] The portion of the insulating medium film 217a located in the gate groove belongs to the insulating medium portion 203. The insulating medium portion 203 may include an insulating medium side wall 203a and an insulating medium bottom wall 203b. The insulating medium side wall 203a is arranged horizontally surrounding the insulating medium bottom wall 203b and extends away from the substrate 1. The insulating medium side wall 203a and the insulating medium bottom wall 203b form a surrounding insulating medium groove. The sacrificial material film 217b completely covers the insulating medium film 217a and fills the first housing hole 213.
[0088] For example, after depositing the sacrificial material film 217b to completely cover the insulating medium film 217a and filling the first housing hole 213, the sacrificial material film 217b can be polished using a chemical mechanical polishing process to make the upper surface of the sacrificial material film 217b a flat surface, which is useful for the accuracy of subsequent processes.
[0089] In some embodiments, the material of the insulating medium film 217a may be a low dielectric material, and the material of the sacrificial material film 217b may be a polysilicon material or a silicon dioxide material. It can also be understood that the insulating medium portion 203 may include a low dielectric material portion, and the sacrificial material portion may include a polysilicon material layer or a silicon dioxide material layer.
[0090] In step S10214: The portions of the filling film layer 217, the first conductive film 216, the first gate insulating film 215, and the first semiconductor film 214 that are outside the target range of the first accommodating hole 213 are completely removed, exposing the second signal line 205, and simultaneously forming the first semiconductor layer 2012, the first gate insulating layer 2013, and the first gate 2011.
[0091] Furthermore, if step S102022 is performed after the formation of the readout transistor 201, the exposure of the second signal line 205 mentioned in step S10214 can be understood as at least a portion of the second metal film 205a used to form the second signal line 205 being exposed.
[0092] In some embodiments, the step of completely removing portions of the packing film layer 217, the first conductive film 216, the first gate insulating film 215, and the first semiconductor film 214 that are outside the target range of the first accommodating hole 213 may include steps S102140, S102141, S102142, S102143, S102144, and S102145.
[0093] In step S102140, as shown in Figure 14, the portion of the filling film layer 217 that is higher than the upper surface of the first conductive film 216 is removed, and the upper surface of the first conductive film 216 is exposed.
[0094] In step S102141: The portion of the packing film layer 217 that is higher than the upper surface of the second signal line 205 is continued to be etched away so that the upper surface of the retained packing portion of the packing film layer 217 becomes flush with the upper surface of the second signal line 205, as shown in Figure 15.
[0095] Furthermore, if step S102022 is performed after the formation of the readout transistor 201, the fact that the upper surface of the retained portion of the packing film layer 217 mentioned in step S10214 becomes flush with the upper surface of the second signal line 205 can be understood as the upper surface of the retained portion of the packing film layer 217 becoming flush with the upper surface of the second metal film 205a.
[0096] As shown in Figure 15, the filling and holding portion may include an insulating medium portion 203 and a sacrificial material portion 218. The insulating medium portion 203 is located in the gate groove of the first gate 2011, and the sacrificial material portion 218 may be filled into the insulating medium groove of the insulating medium portion 203.
[0097] For example, if the insulating medium film 217a of the packing film layer 217 is made of a low dielectric material and the sacrificial material film 217b is made of a polysilicon material, then in steps S102140 and S102141, Cl2 (chlorine) and CHF3 (trifluoromethane) can be used to etch the packing film layer 217, and it should be understood that during etching, attention must be paid to the flatness of the packing and holding portion of the packing film layer 217 that is held.
[0098] In step S102142, as shown in Figure 16, a protective film layer 219 is formed on the upper surface of the first conductive film 216 and the upper surface of the filling and holding portion. Here, the protective film layer 219 is used to protect the filling and holding portion in the subsequent etching process. The upper surface of the formed protective film layer 219 can be understood as a horizontal plane, and this horizontal plane can be a plane parallel or nearly parallel to the substrate 1.
[0099] Here, under the same etching conditions, the etching rate of the protective film layer 219 is lower than that of the first conductive film 216, the first gate insulating film 215, and the first semiconductor film 214. For example, the protective film layer 219 in this embodiment may be a carbon coating (Spin-On-Carbon, abbreviated as SOC), but is not limited thereto; it is sufficient that the etching rate of the protective film layer 219 is guaranteed to be lower than that of the first conductive film 216, the first gate insulating film 215, and the first semiconductor film 214.
[0100] In step S102143: Using the first etching agent, the portion of the protective film layer 219 that is higher than the upper surface of the first conductive film 216 is etched away so that the remaining protective portion 2190 of the protective film layer 219 held in the filling and holding portion becomes flush with the upper surface of the first conductive film 216, as shown in Figure 17. In embodiments of this disclosure, the first etching agent may be an etching gas, for example, if the protective film layer 219 is a carbon coating, the first etching agent may contain a mixed gas of CF4 (carbon tetrafluoride) and O2 (oxygen).
[0101] In step S102144: The portion of the first conductive film 216, the first gate insulating film 215, and the first semiconductor film 214 that is higher than the upper surface of the second signal line 205 is completely removed using the second etching agent to form the first semiconductor layer 2012, the first gate insulating layer 2013, and the first gate 2011. At the same time, a portion of the height of the remaining protective portion 2190 is etched away by the second etching agent, so that a portion of the remaining protective portion 2190 remains covering the filled retaining portion, as shown in Figure 18.
[0102] In embodiments of this disclosure, the second etching agent may be an etching gas, for example, the second etching agent may contain a mixed gas containing fluorine, chlorine, and oxygen, or for example, a mixed gas containing CF4, Cl2 (chlorine), and O2, which has relatively low etching selectivity for the first conductive film material, the first gate insulating film material, and the first semiconductor film material, can improve etching uniformity, and ensures that the upper surfaces of the first semiconductor layer 2012, the first gate insulating layer 2013, and the first gate 2011 are flush.
[0103] In step S102145: Using a third etching agent, the remaining portion of the protective part 2190 remaining in the filling and holding area is completely removed. Referring to Figure 19, the upper surfaces of the first semiconductor layer 2012, the first gate insulating layer 2013, the first gate 2011, and the filling and holding area are flush with the upper surface of the second signal line 205, and the portion outside the target area is located outside the first housing hole 213.
[0104] Furthermore, if step S102022 is performed after the formation of the readout transistor 201, the upper surfaces of the first semiconductor layer 2012, the first gate insulating layer 2013, the first gate 2011, and the fill-hold portion mentioned in step S10215 become flush with the upper surface of the second signal line 205, which means that the upper surfaces of the first semiconductor layer 2012, the first gate insulating layer 2013, the first gate 2011, and the fill-hold portion become flush with the upper surface of the second metal film 205a.
[0105] In embodiments of this disclosure, an ashing method or a wet cleaning method can be used to completely remove the remaining protective portion 2190 remaining on the packing film layer 217. When using the ashing method, the third etching agent may be an asher gas, for example, the asher gas may contain oxygen.
[0106] Furthermore, if the material of the insulating medium portion 203 is a low dielectric material, care should be taken in step S102145 to select an asher gas ratio that reduces oxidation of the low dielectric material, thereby reducing the formation of defects in the insulating medium portion 203.
[0107] In other embodiments, the step of completely removing portions of the packing film layer 217, the first conductive film 216, the first gate insulating film 215, and the first semiconductor film 214 that are outside the target range of the first accommodating hole 213 may include steps S102146 and S102147.
[0108] In step S102146: As shown in Figure 20, the portion of the sacrificial material film 217b that is higher than the upper surface of the insulating medium film 217a is removed, exposing the upper surface of the insulating medium film 217a. The portion of the sacrificial material film 217b held within the insulating medium groove becomes the sacrificial material portion 218, and the upper surface of the sacrificial material portion 218 becomes flush with the upper surface of the insulating medium film 217a.
[0109] In step S102147: The portions of the insulating medium film 217a, the first conductive film 216, the first gate insulating film 215, and the first semiconductor film 214 that are outside the target range of the first housing hole 213 are etched away, and as shown in Figure 21, the insulating medium portion 203, the first semiconductor layer 2012, the first gate insulating layer 2013, and the first gate 2011 are formed. Here, the region outside the target range is the region where the distance from the hole boundary of the first housing hole 213 exceeds the target value and the target value is greater than 0. Therefore, a first semiconductor wrap portion 2012c extending horizontally outward is formed on the upper part of the first semiconductor layer 2012, and the first semiconductor wrap portion 2012c is formed on the upper surface of the second signal line 205. A first gate insulating wrap portion 2013c extending horizontally outward is formed on the upper part of the first gate insulating layer 2013, and the first gate The insulating wrap portion 2013c is formed on the upper surface of the first semiconductor wrap portion 2012c, and a gate wrap portion 2011c extending horizontally outward is formed on the upper part of the gate sidewall 2011a, and the gate wrap portion 2011c is formed on the upper surface of the first gate insulating wrap portion 2013c, and an insulating medium wrap portion 203c extending horizontally outward is located on the upper part of the insulating medium sidewall 203a, and the insulating medium wrap portion 203c is formed on the upper surface of the gate wrap portion 2011c.
[0110] Furthermore, if step S102022 is performed after forming the read transistor 201, the formation of the first semiconductor wrap portion 2012c mentioned in step S10214 on the upper surface of the second signal line 205 can be understood as the formation of the first semiconductor wrap portion 2012c on the upper surface of the second metal film 205a.
[0111] For example, in step S102147: the insulating medium film 217a, the first conductive film 216, the first gate insulating film 215, and the first semiconductor film 214 located outside the target range of the first accommodating hole 213 can be etched off by a photolithography process to form the insulating medium portion 203, the first semiconductor layer 2012, the first gate insulating layer 2013, and the first gate 2011. Specifically, after step S102146, a BARC material layer and a photoresist layer covering the entire surface are formed in sequence, and then the BARC material layer The BARC material layer and the photoresist layer are patterned using a mask to form a mask structure having a target pattern. Subsequently, an etching process is performed using this mask structure to etch away portions of the insulating medium film 217a, the first conductive film 216, the first gate insulating film 215, and the first semiconductor film 214 that are outside the target range of the first accommodating hole 213, thereby forming the insulating medium portion 203, the first semiconductor layer 2012, the first gate insulating layer 2013, and the first gate 2011.
[0112] Here, the BARC (Bottom Anti-Reflection Coating) material layer is primarily used to reduce the amount of light reflected by the photoresist layer during the exposure process, thereby reducing standing wave effects and improving the accuracy of the photolithography process. The BARC material layer is formed by spin coating, and its main components include a crosslinkable resin, a thermal acid generator, a surfactant, and a solvent, which reduce light interference.
[0113] It should be understood that after forming the insulating medium portion 203, the first semiconductor layer 2012, the first gate insulating layer 2013, and the first gate 2011, the mask structure formed by the BARC material layer and the photoresist layer may be removed.
[0114] For example, step S102022 in this embodiment may be performed after step S102147.
[0115] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the step of forming the write transistor 202 may include steps S10220, S10221, S10222, and S10223.
[0116] In step S10220, a second interlayer insulating layer 209 is formed on the upper surfaces of the readout transistor 201, the insulating medium portion 203, and the sacrificial material portion 218. The second interlayer insulating layer 209 may completely cover the underlying structural layer, and the upper surface of the second interlayer insulating layer 209 may be a plane parallel or substantially parallel to the substrate 1 in order to ensure the flatness of subsequent film layer formation.
[0117] In step S10221: A write bit line 207 is formed on one side of the second interlayer insulating layer 209, away from the substrate 1, and as shown in Figure 22, the orthographic projection of the write bit line 207 onto the substrate 1 completely covers the orthographic projection of the sacrificial material portion 218 onto the substrate 1. For example, a third metal film can be deposited on the upper surface of the second interlayer insulating layer 209 to cover the entire surface, and then the third metal film can be patterned to form a plurality of write bit lines 207 spaced apart in the second horizontal direction Y (or the first horizontal direction X). A second insulating isolation column can be placed between adjacent write bit lines 207, and the upper surface of the second insulating isolation column will be flush with the upper surface of the write bit line 207, ensuring the flatness of subsequent film layer formation.
[0118] In this embodiment, depending on the specific circumstances, the second insulating isolation column may be formed before the write bit line 207, or the write bit line 207 may be formed before the second insulating isolation column.
[0119] In step S10222: The sacrificial material portion 218 and the insulating medium bottom wall 203b of the insulating medium portion 203 are completely etched, and the second interlayer insulating layer 209 and the portion of the write bit line 207 located on the sacrificial material portion 218 are completely etched to form a second accommodating hole 220 that exposes a portion of the gate bottom wall 2011b. The insulating medium side wall 203a of the insulating medium portion 203 is retained. For example, the second accommodating hole 220 may extend into the interior of the gate bottom wall 2011b, thereby securing storage capacity by securing the area for forming subsequent storage nodes, but is not limited to this. Referring to Figure 23, the second accommodating hole 220 may extend just to the top surface of the gate bottom wall 2011b, or it may penetrate the gate bottom wall 2011b, depending on the specific circumstances. It should be understood that in this embodiment, there may be multiple second accommodation holes 220, and they may be arranged in an array in the first horizontal direction X and the second horizontal direction Y.
[0120] In step S10223, as shown in Figure 24, a second semiconductor layer 2022, a second gate insulating layer 2023, and a second gate 2021 are formed in the second housing hole 220. For example, the second semiconductor layer 2022, the second gate insulating layer 2023, and the second gate 2021 may correspond to the manufacturing methods of the first semiconductor layer 2012, the second gate insulating layer 2023, and the second gate 2021, which will not be described in detail here.
[0121] Furthermore, the step of forming the storage layer 2 after forming the writing transistor 202 may further include the step of sequentially forming the third interlayer insulating layer 210 and the writing word line 208, as shown in Figure 3, but this will not be described in detail here.
[0122] Here, as shown in Figure 5, if the first signal line 204 of the top storage layer is not shared with the write word line 208 of the bottom storage layer in two adjacent storage layers 2, the fourth interlayer insulating layer 211 shown in Figure 5 may be formed before the first signal line 204 of the top storage layer is formed, but this will not be explained in detail here. As shown in Figure 6, if the first signal line 204 of the top storage layer is shared with the write word line 208 of the bottom storage layer in two adjacent storage layers 2, the manufacturing of one insulating layer and signal line can be omitted, that is, the manufacturing steps of the fourth interlayer insulating layer 211 and the first signal line 204 of the top storage layer can be omitted, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and improving storage density.
