Embodiment
A specific embodiment of 1R1T specific implementation of the present invention as shown in Figure 4, at first is to finish basic circuit part by the standard CMOS process line, and drain terminal one deck of gate tube connects by outermost metal, deposits SiO then on this layer metal 2And etch a less through hole 3, and fill and go up tungsten (as bottom electrode), be right after this than small through hole be another big slightly through hole 4, so far, all finish with standard CMOS process.Adopt the GST processing line then, sputter last layer phase-change material GST at first, bigger through hole above covering etches away unnecessary GST then, (can add one deck SiO 2), long thereon again layer of metal aluminium (Al) is as top electrode 5, and etching finally covers one deck passivation layer silicon dioxide.
Like this, phase change memory chip is in storage array the phase change resistor GST part, the remaining circuit part can be finished with the standard CMOS process line earlier, and then comprise phase-change material with the manufacturing of GST processing line, the phase change resistor of top electrode, its bottom electrode and gate tube drain terminal link together, and top electrode meets maximum level VDD.When specifically making this phase change memory chip, with common CMOS processing line all circuit parts are finished earlier, use follow-up GST technology then, avoided original C MOS processing line, like this, with twice technology separately, do not change original CMOS processing line, save cost, increased the manufacture of phase transition storage.
According to one embodiment of present invention, lower floor is of a size of 0.26 μ m * 0.26 μ m, the bottom electrode size that also promptly contacts with GST than small through hole; The upper strata is of a size of 0.8 μ m * 0.8 μ m than large through-hole, and phase-change material GST is of a size of 5 μ m * 5 μ m.Certainly, these sizes change to some extent according to different embodiment.
The 1R1T structure that the storage unit of core adopts, as shown in Figure 5, its gate tube T is between phase change resistor GST and drive current source, that is to say, the source end of this gate tube is also unearthed, during specific design, because the substrate of gate tube meets minimum level VSS when making, and gate tube source end is owing to connect the drive current one-level, it is not zero level, there is the inclined to one side effect of a lining in inevitable like this this gate tube that makes, like this, under identical grid voltage, this gate tube can reduce the maximum current that flows through, but owing to the electric current that phase change cells is carried out the phase transformation operation does not need very big (2mA is following to get final product), like this, do not need very big size, under the high level grid voltage of determining, drive current can pass through gate tube, so only need size phase strain with gate tube bigger but do not need big a lot, and because phase-change material adds that the area of upper/lower electrode has a definite scope, as long as guarantee that the gate tube width is a lot of greatly unlike aforementioned dimensions,, just can guarantee can too much not increase the area of entire chip.
In addition, adopt 1R1T structure of the present invention, be added on the gate tube the pressure drop meeting than the pressure drop on the gate tube in the 1R1T structure of source end ground connection more greatly, but this moment, the final drive current that arrives on the phase change cells is produced by the pipe of the NMOS in the current mirror of the second level, and final drive current is produced by the PMOS pipe in the 1R1T structure of traditional gate tube source end ground connection, under the drive current of identical supply voltage and definite size, integrated circuit is not than traditional more power consumption of circuit structure consumption, like this, also guaranteed the low-power consumption requirement of phase change memory chip.
According to embodiment shown in Figure 6, the phase change memory chip internal circuit synoptic diagram of invention mainly comprises phase-changing memory cell array, address decoder (line is selected circuit and bit line select circuitry), the reading and writing driving circuit, Drive and Control Circuit and read amplifying circuit.Which storage unit the decoding circuit decision chooses, the control circuit control Driver Circuit applies the current impulse of certain width to the unit of choosing, and act on the storage unit by the current impulse that driving circuit section produces a certain size, storage unit is undergone phase transition; Sensing circuit is used to read the state of memory cells after being applied.Fig. 7,8 has provided the sequential relationship of chip read-write.

As embodiment, be specially a two-stage current mirroring circuit by driving circuit shown in Figure 10 and reading method circuit shown in Figure 11, the final generation is used for Set, Reset, the drive current that varies in size of Read.Between first order current mirroring circuit and second level current mirroring circuit, add gauge tap SWITCH1, SWITCH2, SWITCH3, the opening and close by Drive and Control Circuit and partly control of these gauge tap.Drive and Control Circuit is the control signal that produces certain pulsewidth by pulse signal generator, the opening and the shut-in time of switch in the control back level current mirror, make thus be added on the phase change cells for certain pulsewidth and the high pulse signal of arteries and veins being arranged, realization Reset, Set, the Read operation.
When carrying out write operation, it at first is example with Reset, need apply a weak point and strong voltage or current impulse, electric energy is transformed into heat energy, the temperature of phase-change material is elevated to more than the temperature of fusion,, the long-range order of polycrystalline is destroyed through cooling fast, thereby realize that low-resistance becomes high resistant by the conversion of polycrystalline to amorphous.At first gate tube NT is opened by the high level of decoding circuit output, by Drive and Control Circuit switch SW ITCH1 is opened subsequently, and SWITCH2, SWITCH3 is in closed condition at this moment, like this, by PMOS pipe P0, the current mirror that P1 forms, produce a certain size and certain multiple in the electric current I 1 of reference current Ibias; Same, by NMOS pipe N1, the current mirror that N4 forms with I1 once more mirror image obtain required Reset electric current I 1 ', I1 ' is applied on the phase change cells GST by transmission gate TG that opens and the gate tube NT that opens, thereby phase-change material is undergone phase transition, the sequential of SWTICH1 has determined the width of the Reset current impulse that applied, and requirement is short pulse, is generally less than for 50 nanoseconds.
When wiping (Set), need apply a voltage or a current impulse long and intensity is medium, the temperature of phase-change material is elevated to more than the Tc, be lower than temperature of fusion, keep the regular hour (being generally less than for 50 nanoseconds), make phase-change material be converted into polycrystalline by amorphous, high resistant becomes low-resistance.During concrete enforcement, SWITCH1, SWITCH3 closes, SWITCH2 opens, by managing P0 by PMOS, P2 and NMOS pipe N2, the two-stage current mirror that N5 forms produces required Set electric current I 2 ', be applied on the phase change cells GST, phase-change material is taken place by the conversion of amorphous state to crystalline state, the sequential of SWITCH2 has determined the Set current pulse width that applied.Requirement is a long slightly pulse, between 150~200 nanoseconds.
When reading (Read) operation, switch SW ITCH4 opens, and transmission gate TG opens, SWITCH1 in the current mirror, SWITCH2 closes, and SWITCH3 opens, by PMOS pipe P0, P32 and NMOS pipe N3, the two-stage current mirror that N6 forms produces the read current I3 ' of required sizing really, is applied on the phase change cells GST, and this read current is enough little, the heat energy that produces guarantees that the temperature of phase-change material is lower than Tc all the time, and material does not undergo phase transition.The essence of reading is the voltage condition of reading on the GST unit, sees the resistance situation by its voltage.This voltage is compared amplification with a reference voltage through sense amplifier and is read by port SOUT output, and the read-out voltage when crystalline state and amorphous state can strict distinguish.The read current pulse width that is applied is by the sequential decision of SWITCH2.
Above-mentioned current-mirror structure also can adopt cascode structure or other to improve structure, can make the electric current of mirror image not be subjected to the influence of load variations.
