[0014] Hereinafter, in order to explain the present invention more specifically, it will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0015] Hereinafter, a non-volatile memory device according to exemplary embodiments is described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 13.

[0016] FIG. 1 is an exemplary block diagram for illustrating a non-volatile memory device according to some embodiments.

[0017] Referring to FIG. 1, a non-volatile memory device (10) according to some embodiments includes a memory cell array (20) and peripheral circuits (30).

The memory cell array (20) may be connected to a peripheral circuit (30) via a bit line (BL), a word line (WL), at least one string select line (SSL), and at least one ground select line (GSL). Specifically, the memory cell blocks (BLK1 to BLKn) may be connected to a row decoder (33) via the word line (WL), the string select line (SSL), and the ground select line (GSL). Additionally, the memory cell blocks (BLK1 to BLKn) may be connected to a page buffer (35) via the bit line (BL).

[0019] The peripheral circuit (30) can receive an address (ADDR), a command (CMD), and a control signal (CTRL) from outside the non-volatile memory device (10), and can transmit and receive data (DATA) with a device outside the non-volatile memory device (10). The peripheral circuit (30) may include control logic (37), a row decoder (33), and a page buffer (35). Although not illustrated, the peripheral circuit (30) may further include various sub-circuits such as an input / output circuit, a voltage generation circuit that generates various voltages required for the operation of the non-volatile memory device (10), and an error correction circuit for correcting errors in data (DATA) read from the memory cell array (20).

[0020] The control logic (37) can be connected to the row decoder (33), the input / output circuit, and the voltage generation circuit. The control logic (37) can control the overall operation of the non-volatile memory device (10). The control logic (37) can generate various internal control signals used within the non-volatile memory device (10) in response to a control signal (CTRL). For example, the control logic (37) can adjust the voltage levels provided to the word line (WL) and bit line (BL) when performing memory operations such as program operation or erase operation.

[0021] The row decoder (33) can select at least one of a plurality of memory cell blocks (BLK1 to BLKn) in response to an address (ADDR), and can select at least one word line (WL), at least one string select line (SSL), and at least one ground select line (GSL) of the selected memory cell blocks (BLK1 to BLKn). Additionally, the row decoder (33) can transmit a voltage for performing memory operations to the word line (WL) of the selected memory cell blocks (BLK1 to BLKn).

[0022] The page buffer (35) can be connected to the memory cell array (20) via a bit line (BL). The page buffer (35) can operate as a writer driver or a sense amplifier. Specifically, when performing a program operation, the page buffer (35) can operate as a writer driver to apply a voltage to the bit line (BL) according to the data (DATA) to be stored in the memory cell array (20). Meanwhile, when performing a read operation, the page buffer (35) can operate as a sense amplifier to detect the data (DATA) stored in the memory cell array (20).

[0023] FIG. 2 is an exemplary circuit diagram for illustrating a non-volatile memory device according to some embodiments.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 2, a memory cell array (e.g., 20 in FIG. 1) of a non-volatile memory device according to some embodiment includes a common source line (CSL), a plurality of bit lines (BL), and a plurality of cell strings (CSTR).

[0025] A common source line (CSL) may be extended in a first direction (X). In some embodiments, a plurality of common source lines (CSLs) may be arranged in two dimensions. For example, a plurality of common source lines (CSLs) may be spaced apart from each other and each may be extended in a first direction (X). The common source lines (CSLs) may be electrically identically voltaged, or they may be controlled separately by applying different voltages.

[0026] Multiple bit lines (BL) can be arranged in two dimensions. For example, the bit lines (BL) can be spaced apart from each other and each can extend in a second direction (Y) that intersects a first direction (X). Multiple cell strings (CSTR) can be connected in parallel to each bit line (BL). The cell strings (CSTR) can be connected in common to a common source line (CSL). That is, multiple cell strings (CSTR) can be placed between the bit lines (BL) and the common source line (CSL).

[0027] Each cell string (CSTR) may include a ground select transistor (GST) connected to a common source line (CSL), a string select transistor (SST) connected to a bit line (BL), and a plurality of memory cell transistors (MCT) disposed between the ground select transistor (GST) and the string select transistor (SST).

Additionally, a ground select line (GSL), multiple word lines (WL1 to WLn), and a string select line (SSL) can be arranged between the common source line (CSL) and the bit line (BL). The ground select line (GSL) can be used as the gate electrode of a ground select transistor (GST), the word lines (WL1 to WLn) can be used as the gate electrode of a memory cell transistor (MCT), and the string select line (SSL) can be used as the gate electrode of a string select transistor (SST).

[0029] In some embodiments, an erase control transistor (ECT) may be placed between a common source line (CSL) and a ground select transistor (GST). The common source line (CSL) may be connected in common to the sources of the erase control transistors (ECT). Additionally, an erase control line (ECL) may be placed between the common source line (CSL) and the ground select line (GSL). The erase control line (ECL) may be used as the gate electrode of the erase control transistor (ECT). The erase control transistors (ECT) may perform an erase operation of the memory cell array by generating Gate Induced Drain Leakage (GIDL).

[0030] FIG. 3 is an exemplary layout diagram for illustrating a non-volatile memory device according to some embodiments. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA' of FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB' of FIG. 3. FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view for illustrating region P of FIG. 5. FIG. 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view for illustrating region Q of FIG. 4.

[0031] Referring to FIGS. 3 through 7, a non-volatile memory device according to some embodiments includes a cell structure (CELL) and a peer structure (PERI).

[0032] A non-volatile memory device according to some embodiments may have a C2C (chip-to-chip) structure. A C2C structure may mean fabricating an upper chip containing a cell structure on a first wafer, fabricating a lower chip containing a peer structure on a second wafer different from the first wafer, and then connecting the upper chip and the lower chip to each other by a bonding method. For example, the bonding method may mean a method of electrically connecting a bonding metal formed on the uppermost metal layer of the upper chip and a bonding metal formed on the uppermost metal layer of the lower chip to each other. For example, if the bonding metal is formed of copper (Cu), the bonding method may be a Cu-Cu bonding method, and the bonding metal may also be formed of aluminum or tungsten.

[0033] More specifically, the cell structure (CELL) may include a first surface (CELL_a) and a second surface (CELL_b) facing each other. The peri structure (PERI) may include a third surface (PERI_a) and a fourth surface (PERI_b) facing each other.

The second surface (CELL_b) of the cell structure (CELL) and the third surface (PERI_a) of the peri structure (PERI) may be bonded to each other. As a result, the cell structure (CELL) and the peri structure (PERI) may be bonded to each other.

[0034] In some embodiments, the cell structure (CELL) may include a cell substrate (100), a mold structure (MS), a first interlayer insulating film (140), a second interlayer insulating film (103), an upper insulating film (104), a channel structure (CH), a wordline cutting structure (WLC), a bit line (BL), a cell contact (150), a source contact (160), and a first input / output contact (170).

[0035] A non-volatile memory device according to some embodiments may include a cell array region (R1), an extension region (R2), and a pad region (R3). A memory cell array (e.g., 20 of FIG. 1) including a plurality of memory cells may be formed in the cell array region (R1). For example, a channel structure (CH), bit lines (BL), and gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1~WLn, SSL), which will be described later, may be disposed in the cell array region (R1).

[0036] An extension region (R2) may be placed around a cell array region (R1). In the extension region (R2), gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1~WLn, SSL) described later may be stacked in a stepped manner.

[0037] The pad area (R3) may be positioned inside the cell array area (R1) and the extension area (R2), or outside the cell array area (R1) and the extension area (R2). Source contacts (160) and first input / output contacts (170), which will be described later, may be positioned in the pad area (R3).

[0038] The cell substrate (100) may include a common source plate (101) and an insulating pattern (102). The common source plate (101) may be provided on a part of the cell array region (R1) and the pad region (R3). The common source plate (101) may not be provided on the extension region (R2). The common source plate (101) may be connected to a channel structure (CH) and a source contact (160).

[0039] For example, the common source plate (101) may be connected to a semiconductor pattern (130) of a channel structure (CH) in a cell array region (R1). The common source plate (101) may be connected to a source contact (160) in a pad region (R3). This common source plate (101) may be provided as a common source line (e.g., CSL of FIG. 2) of a non-volatile memory device. The common source plate (101) may comprise, for example, impurity-doped polysilicon or a metal, but is not limited thereto.

[0040] In some embodiments, the common source plate (101) may not overlap with the cell contact (150) and the first input / output contact (170) in the third direction (Z).

[0041] The insulation pattern (102) may be provided on a portion of the extension region (R2) and the pad region (R3). The insulation pattern (102) may not be provided on the cell array region (R1). The insulation pattern (102) may enclose a portion of the cell contact (150) and a portion of the first input / output contact (170). The insulation pattern (102) may overlap the cell contact (150) and the first input / output contact (170) in a third direction (Z). Additionally, the insulation pattern (102) may enclose a portion of the extension via (EX_VA) and the input / output via (IO_VA) to be described later.

[0042] The insulating pattern (102) may include an oxide-based insulating material. For example, the insulating pattern (102) may include silicon oxide (SiO2). Specifically, the insulating pattern (102) may include, for example, FOX (Flowable oxide), TOSZ (Tonen Silazen), USG (Undoped Silica Glass), BSG (Borosilica Glass), PSG (PhosphoSilica Glass), BPSG (BoroPhosphosilica Glass), PE-TEOS (Plasma Enhanced Tetra Ethyl Ortho Silicate), FSG (Fluoride Silicate Glass), HDP (High Density Plasma), PEOX (Plasma Enhanced Oxide), FCVD (Flowable CVD), or a combination thereof.

[0043] The cell substrate (100) may include a front surface (100a) and a rear surface (100b) facing each other. The front surface (100a) of the cell substrate (100) may face the peristructure (PERI). The rear surface (100b) of the cell substrate (100) may face the peristructure (PERI). The front surface of the common source plate (101) and the front surface of the insulation pattern (102) may be the front surface (100a) of the cell substrate (100). The rear surface of the common source plate (101) and the rear surface of the insulation pattern (102) may be the rear surface (100b) of the cell substrate (100).

[0044] A mold structure (MS) may be provided on the front surface (100a) of a cell substrate. The mold structure (MS) may include a plurality of gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1~WLn, SSL) and a plurality of mold insulating films (110) that are alternately stacked on the cell substrate (100). Each of the gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1~WLn, SSL) and each of the mold insulating films (110) may be a layered structure extending parallel to the front surface (100a) of the cell substrate (100). The gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1~WLn, SSL) may be stacked sequentially on the cell substrate (100) and spaced apart from each other by the mold insulating films (110).

[0045] The gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1–WLn, SSL) may be stacked in a stepped manner in an extended region (R2). For example, the gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1–WLn, SSL) may have different lengths and steps in a first direction (X). In some embodiments, the gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1–WLn, SSL) may have steps in a second direction (Y). Accordingly, each gate electrode (ECL, GSL, WL1–WLn, SSL) may include an exposed region (not shown) exposed from other gate electrodes. The exposed region may refer to an area where the cell contact (150) and the gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1–WLn, SSL) come into contact.

[0046] The height of the gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1~WLn, SSL) in contact with the cell contact (150) in the above exposed area in the third direction (Z) may be higher than the height of other gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1~WLn, SSL) in the third direction (Z). The third direction (Z) may be a direction perpendicular to the front surface (100a) of the cell substrate (100). As a result, the contact area of ​​the cell contact (150) and the gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1~WLn, SSL) may be increased. However, the technical concept of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0047] In some embodiments, the gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1 to WLn, SSL) may include an erase control line (ECL), a ground select line (GSL), and a plurality of word lines (WL1 to WLn) that are stacked sequentially on the cell substrate (100). In some other embodiments, the erase control line (ECL) may be omitted.

[0048] Mold insulating films (110) may be stacked in a stepped manner in an extended region (R2). For example, the mold insulating films (110) may have steps by extending at different lengths in a first direction (X). In some embodiments, the mold insulating films (110) may have steps in a second direction (Y).

[0049] The gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1 to WLn, SSL) may each include a conductive material, such as a metal like tungsten (W), cobalt (Co), or nickel (Ni), or a semiconductor material like silicon, but are not limited thereto. For example, the gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1 to WLn, SSL) may each include tungsten (W). Unlike what is illustrated, the gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1 to WLn, SSL) may be multilayer films. For example, if the gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1 to WLn, SSL) are multilayer films, the gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1 to WLn, SSL) may include a gate electrode barrier film and a gate electrode filling film. The gate electrode barrier film may include, for example, titanium nitride (TiN), and the gate electrode filling film may include tungsten (W), but are not limited thereto.

[0050] The mold insulating film (110) may include at least one of an insulating material, for example, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxynitride, but is not limited thereto. For example, the mold insulating film (110) may include silicon oxide.

[0051] The first interlayer insulating film (140) may be provided on the front surface (100a) of the cell substrate (100). The first interlayer insulating film (140) may cover the mold structure (MS). The first interlayer insulating film (140) may include an oxide-based insulating material. The first interlayer insulating film (140) may include, for example, at least one of silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, and a low-dielectric (low-k) material having a dielectric constant lower than that of silicon oxide, but is not limited thereto.

[0052] A channel structure (CH) may be provided within a mold structure (MS) of a cell array region (R1). The channel structure (CH) may extend in a third direction (Z) intersecting the front surface (100a) of the cell substrate (100) and penetrate the mold structure (MS). For example, the channel structure (CH) may be in the shape of a pillar (e.g., a cylinder) extending in the third direction (Z). Accordingly, the channel structure (CH) may intersect with each of the gate electrodes (ECL, GSL, WL1~WLn, SSL).

[0053] The channel structure (CH) may include a semiconductor pattern (130) and an information storage film (132).

[0054] The semiconductor pattern (130) can extend in a third direction (Z) and penetrate the mold structure (MS). Although the semiconductor pattern (130) is illustrated as being cup-shaped, this is merely illustrative. For example, the semiconductor pattern (130) may have various shapes, such as a cylindrical shape, a rectangular shape, or a solid filler shape. The semiconductor pattern (130) may include semiconductor materials such as, for example, single-crystal silicon, polycrystalline silicon, organic semiconductors, and carbon nanostructures, but is not limited thereto.

[0055] The information storage film (132) may be interposed between the semiconductor pattern (130) and each gate electrode (ECL, GSL, WL1~WLn, SSL). For example, the information storage film (132) may extend along the outer surface of the semiconductor pattern (130). The information storage film (132) may include, for example, at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, and a high dielectric constant material having a dielectric constant greater than that of silicon oxide. The high dielectric constant material may include, for example, at least one of aluminum oxide, hafnium oxide, lanthanum oxide, tantalum oxide, titanium oxide, lanthanum hafnium oxide, lanthanum aluminum oxide, dysprosium scandium oxide, and combinations thereof.

[0056] In some embodiments, a plurality of channel structures (CH) may be arranged in a zigzag shape. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of channel structures (CH) may be arranged staggered with respect to each other in a first direction (X) and a second direction (Y). A plurality of channel structures (CH) arranged in a zigzag shape can further improve the integration density of a non-volatile memory device. In some embodiments, a plurality of channel structures (CH) may be arranged in a honeycomb shape.

[0057] In some embodiments, a dummy channel structure (DCH) may be formed within the mold structure (MS) of the extension region (R2).
