[0043] Word line 31 and bit line 32 are both Main Gate 115 of The side furthest from circuit board 110 They are located in different layers and are insulated from each other.
[0044] As shown in Figure 1, the orthographic projection of the source 113 onto a plane parallel to the upper surface of the substrate 110 is onto that plane. Back gate It may overlap with the orthographic projection of 116.

[0050] Source 113 is, active layer Source 113 may be electrically connected to 114 and bit line 32, respectively. Main Gate 115 and Back gate It is acceptable to isolate it from 116.
[0051] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-5, the substrate 110 may contain silicon or glass, and the multiple memory cells 101 located on the substrate 110 are arranged in an array.
[0052] The drain 112 can be formed by a patterning process. On the upper surface of the drain 112, away from the substrate 110, active layer 114, Main Gate 115 , First gate insulating layer 117a, second gate insulating layer 117b, back gate 116 and source 113 are provided.
[0053] Source 113 is, Back gate 116 may be located on a surface away from the substrate 110, i.e., drain 112, Back gate 116 and source 113 are arranged in a stacked manner along the first direction in Figure 1. Main Gate 115 and Back gate 116 extends upward along the first direction on the substrate 110. That is, Main Gate 115 and Back gate In Figure 1, the length of 116 in the first direction is longer than the lengths in the other directions.
[0054] Main gate 115 and active layer Between 114, source 113 and drain 112 First gate insulating layer 117a Insulated by, Back gate 116 and active layer 114, Between source 113 and drain 112 Second gate insulating layer 117bInsulated by, source 113 and drain 112 respectively active layer Electrically connected to 114. Source 113, drain 112, Main gate 115, back gate 116 and active layer 114 are stacked to form a three-dimensional transistor 11. active layer 114, Main gate 115 and back gate (All of the 116s extend along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 110), Back gate 116 is electrically connected to drain 112. Memory cell 101 is Main Gate 115 The system further includes a word line 31 electrically connected to the source 113 and a bit line 32 electrically connected to the source 113.
[0055] Dynamic memory When 10 is in write operation mode, via word line 31 Main Gate 115 A first voltage is applied to the source 113, which is the on-voltage (e.g., +5V), and at this time the transistor channel is conducting, and the source voltage is approximately equal to the drain voltage. Simultaneously, a voltage input data signal is applied to the source 113 via the bit line 32, and the voltage at the drain 112 is equal to the voltage of the source input data signal. Back gate Since 116 is electrically connected, at this time the magnitude of the voltage at source 113 and drain 112 and Back gate The magnitude of the voltage at 116 is the same (drain 112 and Back gate (The potentials of 116 are the same.) Back gate The node capacitor between 116 and drain 112 constitutes the storage capacitor 103 of the memory cell 101. Back gate The voltage level at 116 determines the amount of charge in the storage capacitor and, further, determines whether the binary value of the data signal stored in the memory cell 101 is 0 or 1. When a high voltage (e.g., 5 V) is applied to the source 113 via the bit line 32, the data "1" is written to the memory cell 101, and when a low voltage (e.g., 0 V) is applied to the source 113 via the bit line 32, the data "0" is written to the memory cell 101.
[0056] In the above embodiment, the node capacitor is the Back gateThe potential difference between 116 and infinity, or the aforementioned Back gate This could also be the voltage difference between 116 and peripheral electrodes such as the source and gate.
[0057] Dynamic memory When 10 is in read operation mode, Main Gate 115 A voltage difference exists between the source 113 and via the word line 31. Main Gate 115 Apply a second voltage to turn on the transistor. Back gate The charge accumulated in 116 is sensed by the detection bit line 32, and the magnitude of the current in the bit line 32 (i.e., the output current of transistor 11) is detected, enabling data reading. In some embodiments, the detection bit line 32 may be the bit line described above, in which case the input signal line and the data read line are the same line.
[0058] Specifically, if the data stored before memory cell 101 is "1", Back gate 116 and drain 112 have a high potential (e.g., +5V), and due to the combined action of the first gate voltage and the second gate voltage, transistor 11 is in the ON state, so a significant current can be measured via bit line 32. If a significant current is measured, the read data is determined to be "1". If the data stored before memory unit 101 was "0", Back gate The potential above 116 and drain 112 is low. Main Gate 115 After applying the second voltage, transistor 11 remains off, so the current measured via bit line 32 is very weak, and at this time, the data read is determined to be "0".
[0059] The magnitude of the threshold voltage of transistor 11 is, Back gate This relates to the control of 116. If only a gate is present, Vth is related to factors such as material and device structure. Back gate When controlling the semiconductor channel of a transistor, a negative bias is generated in the transistor's Vth.
[0060] Regarding N-type field-effect transistors (where the carriers are electrons when the transistor is turned on), Back gate The higher the potentials on 116 and drain 112 (for example, +5V), the smaller the on-voltage of the transistor gate becomes (i.e., the threshold voltage is negative), i.e., Main Gate 115 When the pressure difference between and source 113 is small, transistor 11 is also turned on. Back gate The lower the potential on 116 and drain 112, the Back gate by active layer The channel control is weak, and the threshold voltage is Back gate It is not affected by it. Therefore, Main Gate 115 When the same second voltage is applied, refer to Figure 6, where the horizontal axis is Main Gate 115 This is the voltage applied to (i.e., the second voltage), and the vertical axis represents the output current of transistor 11. Main Gate 115 If the voltage applied to it is a specific value (at the position of the dashed line in Figure 6), Back gate The voltage difference between 116 and drain 112 (i.e., whether the data written to transistor 11 is "1" or "0") significantly affects the magnitude of the output current of transistor 11 (i.e., the current measured via bit line 32). By detecting the current on bit line 32, data can be read from memory cell 101. When transistor 11 writes data "1", the output current of transistor 11 is large, so the data read out is also "1". When the data written by transistor 11 is "0", the output current of transistor 11 is extremely weak, so the data read out is also "0".
[0061] in this case, Back gate By increasing the control of the semiconductor channel, the transistor can obtain a large current with a small on-voltage and become less likely to turn off when it is turned on. When the transistor is turned off, it requires a large voltage and becomes less likely to turn on. In this way, dark current during on or off is reduced, the device's ability to accumulate and retain charge is improved, and in some embodiments, the refresh frequency can be reduced.
[0062] The value of the second voltage depends on the transistor parameters and the write operation. Back gate It may be determined according to the magnitude of the voltage applied to 116 and drain 112. Note that the value of the second voltage must be appropriate (it must be between the threshold voltage when the transistor stores "1" and the threshold voltage when the transistor stores "0"), and if the value of the second voltage is not appropriate, data "1" will be stored (i.e., drain 112 and Back gate The output current of transistor 11 and the data "0" are stored when the potential above 116 is high (i.e., drain 112 and Back gate Because the magnitude of the output current of transistor 11 is very similar when the potential on the gate is low, it is difficult to determine whether the read data is "0" or "1" when performing a read operation, and this is Dynamic memory This affects the performance of 10. The optimal value of the second voltage can be determined by experimental or simulation methods so that the difference in output current is maximized when transistor 11 performs read operations under different conditions, in order to improve read performance.

As shown in Figure 8s, next, a word line 31 is formed on the side of the third medium layer 118c furthest from the substrate 110 by a patterning process, and the word line 31 is passed through the through passage 21. Main Gate 115 Connect it electrically. Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of this disclosure are: Dynamic memory We will provide 10 more reading and writing methods. In S201, when writing is in progress, a first voltage is applied to the gate via the word line. In S202, based on the external input data, an electrical signal is applied to the source via the bit line, and the data is processed. Dynamic memory When writing to or reading from the device, a second voltage is applied to the gate via the word line. In S203, the current in the source is measured by the bit line and the data Dynamic memory Read from there.
[0079] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (word lines and bit lines are not shown in Figure 2), Dynamic memory When 10 is in write operation mode, via word line 31 Main Gate 115 By applying a first voltage (e.g., 5V), the transistor 11 is turned on, and the magnitude of the first voltage depends on the structure of the transistor 11 and the position of the transistor 11. active layer In relation to factors such as material 114, specifically, it can be adjusted according to the actual situation. When transistor 11 is turned on, a voltage is applied to source 113 via bit line 32 according to the external input data, and source 113 and drain 112 active layer Conduction occurs via 114, and drain 112 and Back gate Since 116 is electrically connected, the magnitude of the voltage at source 113 and drain 112 and Back gate The voltage magnitude will be the same as at 116. Back gate The node capacity between 116 and drain 112 constitutes the storage capacity of memory cell 101. Back gateThe gate voltage of 116 determines the amount of charge in the storage capacitance and also determines whether the binary value of the data signal stored in the memory cell 101 is 0 or 1. When a high voltage (e.g., 5 V) is applied to the source 113 via the bit line 32, the data "1" is written to the memory cell 101, and when a low voltage (e.g., 0 V) is applied to the source 113 via the bit line 32, the data "0" is written to the memory cell 101.
[0080] Dynamic memory When 10 is in read operation mode, Main Gate 115 A voltage difference exists between the source 113 and via the word line 31. Main Gate 115 A second voltage is applied, and the magnitude of the current flowing through the bit line 32 (i.e., the output current of transistor 11) is detected to enable data reading. Specifically, if the data stored before memory cell 101 is "1", Back gate 116 and drain 112 have a high potential, and due to the combined action of the first voltage and the second voltage, transistor 11 is in the ON state, so a significant current can be measured via bit line 32. If a significant current is measured, the read data is determined to be "1". If the data stored before memory unit 101 was "0", Back gate The voltage at 116 and drain 112 is low. Main Gate 115 After applying the second voltage, the field-effect transistor remains in the off state, so the current measured via bit line 32 is very weak, and at this time, the data read is determined to be "0".
[0081] The magnitude of the threshold voltage of transistor 11 is, Back gate In relation to the magnitude of the voltage at 116 and drain 112, the N-type field-effect transistor (i.e., transistor 11) active layer Regarding the adoption of N-type semiconductor materials in 114, Back gate The higher the potential at 116 and drain 112, the lower the threshold voltage becomes, i.e., Main Gate 115When the differential pressure between the transistor and source 113 is small, transistor 11 can have a large output current. Back gate The lower the potential at 116 and drain 112, the higher the threshold voltage becomes. Main Gate 115 When a similar second voltage is applied, as shown in Figures 1, 4, and 6, Back gate The voltage level at 116 and drain 112 (i.e., whether the data written by transistor 11 is "1" or "0") causes a significant difference in the magnitude of the output current of transistor 11 (i.e., the current measured by bit line 32). By detecting the current at bit line 32, it is possible to read data from memory cell 101. When transistor 11 writes the data "1", the output current of transistor 11 is "1".
[0082] Note that the value of the second voltage is a parameter of the field-effect transistor and is used when performing a writing operation. Back gate This can be determined based on the magnitude of the voltage applied to 116 and drain 112. Note that the value of the second voltage must be appropriate (it must be between the threshold voltage when the transistor stores "1" and the threshold voltage when the transistor stores "0"), and if the value of the second voltage is not appropriate, data "1" will be stored (i.e., drain 112 and Back gate The output current of transistor 11 and the data "0" are stored when the potential above 116 is high (i.e., drain 112 and Back gate Because the magnitude of the output current of transistor 11 is very similar when the potential on the gate is low, it is difficult to determine whether the read data is "0" or "1" when performing a read operation, and this is Dynamic memory This affects performance. In actual applications, the optimal value of the second voltage can be determined by experimental or simulation methods to maximize the difference in output current when transistor 11 performs readout operations under different conditions, thereby improving readout performance.

Back gate By utilizing the effect of the voltage on 116 on the threshold voltage of transistor 11, via word line 31 Main Gate 115 A second voltage (the magnitude of which lies between the threshold voltage at which transistor 11 stores "1" and the threshold voltage at which the transistor stores "0") is applied, and then the magnitude of the output current of the field-effect transistor is detected to realize data reading. Therefore, data reading and writing can be achieved by installing only one transistor 11 in the memory cell 101, eliminating the need to install separate transistors 11 and capacitor elements, and significantly simplifying the structure of the memory cell 101.

Therefore, it is advantageous for distinguishing the data read during the reading operation and improves the accuracy of the read data. 4. active layer When metal oxide is used as the material for 114, the leakage current of transistor 11 can be reduced (if the metal oxide is IGZO, the leakage current is 10 -15 (It is less than or equal to A), so the rate of charge loss in the storage capacity can be reduced, Dynamic memory The data storage time can be extended by 10.
