Description

Memory structure and forming method thereof, memory circuit and working method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a memory structure and a forming method thereof, a memory circuit and a working method thereof.
Background
With the development of information technology, the amount of stored information has increased dramatically. The increase in the amount of stored information has promoted the rapid development of memories, and also has made higher demands on the stability of memories.
A basic Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) relies on six transistors that form two cross-coupled inverters. Each inverter includes: one pull-up transistor, one pull-down transistor, and one access transistor.
In order to obtain sufficient anti-interference capability and read stability, most of the transistors used for forming the memory are Fin-Field-Effect transistors (finfets). In the FinFET transistor, the gate is a 3D structure covering three surfaces of the fin, which can greatly improve circuit control. The application of the FinFET in the memory can improve the data storage stability and the integration level of the memory.
The static noise capacity of the static memory is a main index for measuring the static noise interference resistance of the static memory. The static noise capacity of a static memory is related to the beta ratio of the static memory, which refers to the ratio of the saturation current of the pull-down transistor to the saturation current of the pull-up transistor of the static memory. The saturation current of the transistor is related to the width-length ratio of the transistor, the width-length ratio of the transistor is the ratio of the width of a channel of the transistor to the length of the channel, and the larger the width-length ratio of the transistor is, the larger the saturation current of the transistor is. It can be seen that the ratio of the aspect ratios of the pull-down transistors and the pass transistors can affect the static noise capacity of the static memory.
However, the memory formed by the prior art still has the defects of small reading noise capacity and poor reading stability.

When the second channel width is smaller than the first channel width, the width-to-length ratio of the first transmission transistor is smaller than the width-to-length ratio of the first pull-down transistor, so that the saturation current of the first transmission transistor is smaller than the saturation current of the first pull-down transistor, the ratio of the saturation current of the first pull-down transistor to the saturation current of the first transmission transistor can be increased, and the interference of static noise on a first bit line to the memory structure is reduced.
When the fourth channel width is smaller than the third channel width, the width-to-length ratio of the second transmission transistor is smaller than the width-to-length ratio of the second pull-down transistor, so that the saturation current of the second transmission transistor is smaller than the saturation current of the second pull-down transistor, the ratio of the saturation current of the second pull-down transistor to the saturation current of the second transmission transistor can be increased, and the interference of static noise on a second bit line to the memory structure can be reduced.
When the second channel width is smaller than the first channel width and the fourth channel width is smaller than the third channel width, the width-to-length ratio of the first pass transistor is smaller than the width-to-length ratio of the first pull-down transistor, the width-to-length ratio of the second pass transistor is smaller than the width-to-length ratio of the second pull-down transistor, and further the saturation current of the first pass transistor is smaller than the saturation current of the first pull-down transistor, and the saturation current of the second pass transistor is smaller than the saturation current of the second pull-down transistor, and further the ratio between the saturation current of the first pull-down transistor and the saturation current of the first pass transistor is increased, and the ratio between the saturation current of the second pull-down transistor and the saturation current of the second pass transistor is increased, so that the static noise capacity of the memory can be increased, the interference of static noise to the memory structure is reduced.
Further, the memory structure includes a first shunting structure and a second shunting structure. In the application process of the memory, if the potential at the joint of the first pull-down drain region and the first transmission drain region is low level "0", the first shunt structure is turned on, so that the first bit line can be connected with the first potential, the first potential can be pulled down by the first shunt structure, the potential at the joint of the first pull-down drain region and the first transmission drain region can be prevented from being raised by the potential at the first bit line, and the potential at the joint of the first pull-down drain region and the first transmission drain region can be prevented from being inverted by the potential at the first bit line, so that the interference of static noise on the memory structure can be reduced, and the static noise capacity of the memory structure can be increased.
If the potential at the joint of the second pull-down drain region and the second transmission drain region is low level 0, the second shunt structure is conducted, so that the second bit line can be connected with the second potential, the second potential can be pulled down by the second shunt structure, the potential at the joint of the second pull-down drain region and the second transmission drain region is prevented from being raised by the potential at the second bit line, and the potential at the joint of the second pull-down drain region and the second transmission drain region can be prevented from being inverted by the potential at the second bit line. Therefore, the shunt structure can reduce the interference of static noise to the memory structure and increase the static noise capacity of the memory structure.

In the memory structure provided by the technical scheme of the invention, the memory structure at least comprises a first shunt structure and a second shunt structure. The memory applies a preset potential, which is a high level "1", to the first shunt input portion in a read operation.
When the memory structure comprises a first shunt structure, if the potential of the first connecting part is low level 0, the first shunt structure is conducted, so that the first connecting part is connected with the grounding part. The grounding part can pull down the preset potential through the first shunt structure, so that the influence of the preset voltage on the potential of the first connecting part is reduced, the potential of the first connecting part is prevented from being reversed, and therefore the first shunt structure can reduce the interference of static noise on the first shunt input part on the memory structure.
When the memory structure comprises a second shunt structure, if the potential of the second connecting part is low level 0, the second shunt structure is conducted, so that the second connecting part is connected with the grounding part. The grounding part can pull down the preset potential through the second shunt structure, so that the influence of the preset voltage on the potential of the second connecting part is reduced, the potential of the second connecting part is prevented from being reversed, and the interference of static noise on the second shunt input part on the memory structure can be reduced.
When the memory structure comprises a first shunt structure and a second shunt structure, if the potential of the first connecting part is low level '0' and the potential of the second connecting part is high level '1', the first shunt structure is conducted, and the first shunt structure can reduce the interference of static noise on the first shunt input part to the memory structure; if the potential of the second connection part is low level '0' and the potential of the first connection part is high level '1', the second shunt structure is conducted, and the second shunt structure can reduce the interference of static noise on the second shunt input part to the memory structure. Therefore, the shunt structure can reduce the interference of static noise to the memory and increase the static noise capacity of the memory.
Further, the first shunt input is connected to the first bit line, and the second shunt input is connected to the second bit line. During the reading process of the memory, a preset potential needs to be applied to the first bit line and the second bit line, and the preset potential is a high level "1". If the potential of the first connecting portion is low level "0", and the potential of the second connecting portion is high level "1", the first shunting structure is conducted, and the first bit line is connected with the grounding portion through the first shunting structure, so that the potential of the grounding portion can be pulled down by a preset potential on the first bit line through the first shunting structure, the potential of the first connecting portion is prevented from being raised by the preset potential, the potential of the first connecting portion is prevented from being inverted, and therefore the shunting structure can reduce the interference of static noise on a memory. Similarly, if the potential of the second connection portion is low level "0", and the potential of the first connection portion is high level "1", the second shunting structure is turned on, and the second bit line is connected with the second potential through the second shunting structure, so that the potential of the ground connection portion can pull down the preset potential on the second bit line through the second shunting structure, and further the preset potential is prevented from raising the potential of the second connection portion, and the potential of the second connection portion is prevented from being inverted, and therefore, the shunting structure can reduce the interference of static noise to the memory.
Further, the memory structure further comprises: a third bit line connected to the first shunt input; a fourth bit line connected to the second shunt input. During a read operation of the memory, a preset potential is applied to the third bit line and the fourth bit line. If the potential of the first connecting part is low level '0' and the potential of the second connecting part is high level '1', the first shunt structure is conducted, and the third bit line is connected with the grounding part through the first shunt structure, so that the preset potential is not applied to the first connecting part, the potential of the first connecting part is not raised, the potential of the first connecting part can be prevented from being reversed, and the interference of static noise on the static storage structure can be reduced; if the potential of the second connecting portion is low level '0' and the potential of the first connecting portion is high level '1', the second shunt structure is conducted, and the fourth bit line is connected with the grounding portion through the second shunt structure, so that the preset potential is not applied to the second connecting portion, the potential of the second connecting portion is not raised, and the potential of the second connecting portion can be prevented from being reversed. Therefore, the preset potential is not applied to the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, so that the preset potential can be prevented from interfering with the potentials of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, reading errors are not easy to occur, and therefore the static noise capacity of the memory structure can be increased.
In the method for forming the memory structure provided by the technical scheme of the invention, the memory structure at least comprises a first shunt structure and a second shunt structure, and the memory circuit at least comprises a first shunt unit and a second shunt unit. The first shunt unit can reduce the interference of static noise on the first shunt input end to the memory circuit; the second shunt unit can reduce the interference of static noise on the second shunt input end to the memory circuit, so that the forming method can reduce the interference of the static noise to the memory structure and increase the static noise capacity of the memory structure.

The existing memory combined with the prior art analyzes the reasons that the memory has small static noise capacity and poor anti-interference capability:

Referring to fig. 1, the static memory includes: two mirror-symmetrical inverters; the inverter includes: a substrate 100, the substrate 100 comprising: a transmission area 1, a pull-down area 2 and a pull-up area 3; the fin parts 101 are positioned on the substrates of the transmission region 1, the pull-down region 2 and the pull-up region 3, the fin parts 101 of the transmission region 1, the pull-down region 2 and the pull-up region 3 are mutually identical, and the fin parts 101 of the transmission region 1 and the pull-down region 2 are mutually connected; a gate structure 110 crossing the fin 101, wherein the gate structure 110 covers part of the sidewall and the top surface of the fin 101; a source region and a drain region respectively located in the fin portions 101 on two sides of the gate structure 110; a source line connected to the source region; a drain line connected with the drain region, a source line of the transmission region 1, a drain line of the pull-down region 2 and a source line of the pull-up region 3 are connected with each other to form a storage node 10, and a bit line 11 connected with the drain line of the transmission region 1; a gate line 130 connected to the gate structure 110.

When a preset potential is applied to the bit line 11 of the transmission area 1 connected to the low-level node, the preset potential easily raises the potential value of the low-level node, so that the potential of the low-level node is easily inverted, and thus an error occurs in a read result.

In this embodiment, the memory is a static memory.
Since the static noise capacity of the static memory is related to the beta ratio of the static memory, the static noise capacity of the static memory is larger when the beta ratio is larger, and the static noise capacity of the static memory is smaller when the beta ratio is smaller. The beta ratio is the ratio between the pull-down transistor and the pass transistor saturation current.
The saturation current of the pull-down transistor is related to the size of the pull-down transistor and the saturation current of the pass transistor is related to the size of the pass transistor. Specifically, the transistor saturation current has the following relationship with the transistor size.

Where k is the scaling factor, W is the width of the transistor, L is the length of the transistor, VGSIs a gate-source potential, VthIs the threshold potential of the transistor.
It can be seen that the saturation current of a transistor has a direct relationship to the aspect ratio of the transistor. The larger the width-to-length ratio of the transistor, the larger the saturation current of the transistor.
In this embodiment, the second channel width of the first pass transistor is smaller than the first channel width of the first pull-down transistor, so as to increase the ratio of the saturation currents of the first pull-down transistor and the first pass transistor, thereby increasing the static noise capacity of the memory.
Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the ratio of the saturation current of the second pull-down transistor to the saturation current of the second pass transistor is increased by making the fourth channel width of the second pass transistor smaller than the third channel width of the second pull-down transistor, so as to further increase the static noise capacity of the memory.
In summary, in the method for forming a memory according to the embodiment of the present invention, the width of the fourth channel is smaller than the width of the third channel; or the second channel width is less than the first channel width; or the second channel width is less than the first channel width, and the fourth channel width is less than the third channel width.
When the second channel width is smaller than the first channel width, the width-to-length ratio of the first transmission transistor is smaller than the width-to-length ratio of the first pull-down transistor, so that the saturation current of the first transmission transistor is smaller than the saturation current of the first pull-down transistor, the ratio of the saturation current of the first pull-down transistor to the saturation current of the first transmission transistor can be increased, and the interference of static noise on a first bit line to the memory structure is reduced.
When the fourth channel width is smaller than the third channel width, the width-to-length ratio of the second transmission transistor is smaller than the width-to-length ratio of the second pull-down transistor, so that the saturation current of the second transmission transistor is smaller than the saturation current of the second pull-down transistor, the ratio of the saturation current of the second pull-down transistor to the saturation current of the second transmission transistor can be increased, and the interference of static noise on a second bit line to the memory structure can be reduced.
When the second channel width is less than the first channel width and the fourth channel width is less than the third channel width, the width-to-length ratio of the first pass transistor can be made smaller than the width-to-length ratio of the first pull-down transistor, the width-to-length ratio of the second pass transistor is made smaller than the width-to-length ratio of the second pull-down transistor, such that the saturation current of the first pass transistor is less than the saturation current of the first pull-down transistor, the saturation current of the second pass transistor is less than the saturation current of the second pull-down transistor, thereby increasing the ratio of the first pull-down transistor saturation current to the first pass transistor saturation current, the ratio of the second pull-down transistor saturation current to the second pass transistor saturation current, therefore, the static noise capacity of the memory can be increased, and the interference of static noise on a memory structure can be reduced.

In this embodiment, the formed memory is a static memory.
Since the static noise capacity of the static memory is related to the beta ratio of the static memory, the static noise capacity of the static memory is larger when the beta ratio is larger, and the static noise capacity of the static memory is smaller when the beta ratio is smaller. The beta ratio is the ratio between the pull-down transistor and the pass transistor saturation current.
The saturation current of the pull-down transistor is related to the size of the pull-down transistor and the saturation current of the pass transistor is related to the size of the pass transistor. Specifically, the transistor saturation current has the following relationship with the transistor size.

Where k is the scaling factor, W is the width of the transistor, L is the length of the transistor, VGSIs a gate-source potential, VthIs the threshold potential of the transistor.
It can be seen that the saturation current of a transistor has a direct relationship to the aspect ratio of the transistor. The larger the aspect ratio of the transistor, the larger the saturation current of the transistor.
In this embodiment, the second channel width of the first pass transistor is smaller than the first channel width of the first pull-down transistor, so as to increase the ratio of the saturation currents of the first pull-down transistor and the first pass transistor, thereby increasing the static noise capacity of the memory.
Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the ratio of the saturation current of the second pull-down transistor to the saturation current of the second pass transistor is increased by making the fourth channel width of the second pass transistor smaller than the third channel width of the second pull-down transistor, so as to further increase the static noise capacity of the memory.

When the second channel width is smaller than the first channel width, the width-to-length ratio of the first transmission transistor is smaller than the width-to-length ratio of the first pull-down transistor, so that the saturation current of the first transmission transistor is smaller than that of the first pull-down transistor, the ratio of the saturation current of the first pull-down transistor to that of the first transmission transistor can be increased, and the interference of static noise on a first bit line on the memory structure is reduced;

The junction of the first pull-down drain region and the first transmission drain region is a first storage node of the memory; and the joint of the second pull-down drain region and the second transmission drain region is a second storage node of the memory.
If the potential of the first storage node is at a high level "1", the potential of the second pull-down gate structure is opposite to the potential of the second storage node, the potential of the second storage node is at a low level "0", and thus the potential of the first pull-down gate structure is at a low level "0".

Since the potential of the first pull-down gate structure is a low level "0", and the first pull-up gate structure is electrically connected to the first pull-down gate structure, the first pull-up transistor is turned on, and the first pull-down transistor and the first shunt transistor are turned off, so that the third bit line 411 is disconnected from the first potential, and further, a preset potential applied to the third bit line 411 is not pulled down, so that the third bit line 411 outputs a high level "1", and thus data stored in the first storage node can be read through the third bit line 411.
If the potential of the second storage node is at a high level "1", the potential of the first pull-down gate structure is opposite to the potential of the first storage node, the potential of the first storage node is at a low level "0", and thus the potential of the second pull-down gate structure is at a low level "0".
Since the potential of the first pull-down gate structure is a high level "1", the first pull-up transistor is turned off, and the first pull-down transistor and the first shunt transistor are turned on, so that a path is formed between the third bit line 411 and the first potential, and the first potential can pull down the potential of the third bit line 411, so that the third bit line 411 outputs a low level "0", which is the same as the potential of the first storage node, so that the stored data of the first storage node can be read through the third bit line 411.
Since the potential of the second pull-down gate structure is a low level "0", the second pull-up transistor is turned on, and the second pull-down transistor and the third shunt transistor are turned off, so that the fourth bit line 421 is disconnected from the first potential, and the preset potential applied to the fourth bit line 421 is not pulled down, so that the fourth bit line 421 outputs a high level "1", and thus the data stored in the second storage node can be read through the fourth bit line 421.
As can be seen from the above analysis, in this embodiment, the data in the storage structure is read through the third bit line 411 and the fourth bit line 421, and the preset potential is not applied to the first storage node and the second storage node during the reading process, so that the data stored in the storage structure is not easily affected, and thus a reading error is not easily generated, and therefore, the noise immunity of the memory is improved, and the static noise capacity is increased.
In summary, the memory structure provided by the embodiment of the present invention at least includes a first shunting structure and a second shunting structure. The memory applies a preset potential, which is a high level "1", to the first shunt input portion in a read operation.
When the memory structure comprises a first shunt structure, if the potential of the first connecting part is low level 0, the first shunt structure is conducted, so that the first connecting part is connected with the grounding part. The grounding part can pull down the preset potential through the first shunt structure, so that the influence of the preset voltage on the potential of the first connecting part is reduced, the potential of the first connecting part is prevented from being reversed, and therefore the first shunt structure can reduce the interference of static noise on the first shunt input part on the memory structure.
When the memory structure comprises a second shunt structure, if the potential of the second connecting part is low level 0, the second shunt structure is conducted, so that the second connecting part is connected with the grounding part. The grounding part can pull down the preset potential through the second shunt structure, so that the influence of the preset voltage on the potential of the second connecting part is reduced, the potential of the second connecting part is prevented from being reversed, and the interference of static noise on the second shunt input part on the memory structure can be reduced.
When the memory structure comprises a first shunt structure and a second shunt structure, if the potential of the first connecting part is low level '0' and the potential of the second connecting part is high level '1', the first shunt structure is conducted, and the first shunt structure can reduce the interference of static noise on the first shunt input part to the memory structure; if the potential of the second connection part is low level '0' and the potential of the first connection part is high level '1', the second shunt structure is conducted, and the second shunt structure can reduce the interference of static noise on the second shunt input part to the memory structure. Therefore, the shunt structure can reduce the interference of static noise to the memory and increase the static noise capacity of the memory.

a second pull-down transistor PD2, the second pull-down transistor PD2 including: a second pull-down gate connected to the first pull-down drain; a second pull-down source connected to the second transfer source; a second pull-down drain connected to the first pull-down gate.
In this embodiment, the first potential is low, and the first potential is applied to the ground terminal by grounding the ground terminal.
In this embodiment, the memory circuit further includes: a first pull-up load, the first pull-up load comprising: a first load input terminal for inputting a second potential Vdd which is greater than a first potential Vss; the first load output end is connected with the drain electrode of the first pull-down transistor; a second pull-up load, the second pull-up load comprising: a second load input terminal for inputting the second potential Vdd; and the second load output end is connected with the drain electrode of the second pull-down transistor. In other embodiments, the memory cell may also not include the first pull-up load and the second pull-up load.
In this embodiment, the first pull-up load includes a first pull-up transistor PU1, and the first pull-up transistor PU1 includes: the first pull-up grid is connected with the first pull-down grid; the first pull-up drain is connected with the first load input end, and the first pull-up source is connected with the first load output end;
in this embodiment, the second pull-up load includes a second pull-up transistor PU2, and the second pull-up transistor PU2 includes: the second pull-up grid is connected with the second pull-down grid; the second pull-up drain is connected with the second load input end; a second pull-up source connected to the second load output terminal.
In this embodiment, the first pull-down transistor PD1, the second pull-down transistor PD2, the first pass transistor PG1, and the second pass transistor PG2 are NMOS transistors; the first pull-up transistor PU1 and the second pull-up transistor PU2 are PMOS transistors.
In this embodiment, the first pull-down transistor PD1 and the first pull-up transistor PU1 form a first inverter; the second pull-down transistor PD2 and the second pull-up transistor PU2 constitute a second inverter. The first inverter and the second inverter form a memory cell. The storage unit realizes the storage of data through the latching function.
In this embodiment, a first storage node a of the memory is formed at a connection point of the first pull-up source and the first pull-down drain; a second storage node B of the memory is formed at the connection point of the second pull-up drain and the second pull-down drain; the connection point of the first pull-up grid and the first pull-down grid is a first connection point 1, and the connection point of the second pull-up grid and the second pull-down grid is a second connection point 2.
Since the first pull-down transistor PD1 and the first pull-up transistor PU1 form a first inverter, the first storage node a has a potential opposite to that of the first connection point 1, and the first connection point 1 has a potential identical to that of the second storage node B, the second storage node B has a potential opposite to that of the first storage node a, and the second storage node B has a potential opposite to that of the second connection point 2, thereby implementing a latch function.
Specifically, if the potential of the storage node a is at the high level "1" and the potential of the first connection point 1 is opposite to the potential of the first storage node a, the potential of the first connection point 1 is at the low level "0", and thus the potential of the second storage node B is at the low level "0", and since the potential of the second storage node B is opposite to the potential of the second connection point 2, the potential of the second connection point 2 is at the high level "1" and the storage node a is at the high level "1". Therefore, the memory cell can realize the latching function.
In this embodiment, the first potential is zero potential. Specifically, the first shunt output terminal, the first pull-down transistor source, the second shunt output terminal, and the second pull-down transistor source are grounded.
In this embodiment, the word line WL is used to control the on and off of the first pass transistor PG1 and the second pass transistor PG 2. Thereby realizing the selection of the memory cell and reading, writing and storing the data in the selected memory cell 30.
In this embodiment, applying a high level "1" to the word line WL may turn on the first pass transistor PG1 and the second pass transistor PG2, thereby connecting the first bit line BL1 to the memory cell 30 and connecting the second bit line BL2 to the memory cell 30.
In the process of reading the data stored in the memory cell 30, a preset potential is required to be applied to the first bit line BL1 and the second bit line BL2, and the preset potential is high level "1". Since the potentials of the first storage node a and the second storage node B are opposite, the potential of one of the first storage node a and the second storage node B is necessarily low level "0", and the preset potential easily inverts the potential of the storage node that is low level "0", thereby causing a read error. The first shunting unit 11 and the second shunting unit 12 can be turned on in the reading process, so that the first potential Vss pulls down a preset potential connected with a storage node with a low level "0" through the shunting unit, thereby reducing reading errors, further increasing the anti-interference capability of the memory, and increasing the static noise capacity of the memory.
In this embodiment, in order to reduce the interference of the static noise to the memory, the memory circuit includes: a first flow splitting unit 12, the first flow splitting unit 12 comprising: a first shunt input terminal and a first shunt output terminal, the first shunt input terminal is connected to the first bit line BL1, and the first shunt output terminal is used for being connected to a ground terminal; a second flow splitting unit 22, the second flow splitting unit 22 comprising: and the second shunt input end is connected with the second bit line BL2, and the second shunt output end is connected with the ground terminal.

In this embodiment, the first shunting unit 12 further includes a second shunting transistor FG1, and the second shunting transistor FG1 includes: a second shunt gate connected to the first transfer gate; a second shunt source connected to the first shunt drain; a second shunt drain connected to the first shunt input.
In this embodiment, if the first storage node a is at a low level "0", the first connection point 1 is at a high level "1", and the preset potential applied to the first bit line BL1 is a first preset potential; in the reading process, the word line WL is connected to the high node "1", the first pass transistor PG1 and the second shunt transistor FG1 are turned on, and the first connection node 1 is at the high level "1", so that the first pull-down transistor PD1 and the first shunt transistor FD1 are turned on, and therefore, the first preset potential and the ground end can form a path through the first shunt unit 12, so that the first potential Vss can be pulled down by the first shunt unit 12 by the preset potential, and thus the preset potential can be prevented from inverting the potential of the first storage node a, and the first bit line BL1 can output a correct reading result. Therefore, the first shunting unit 12 can reduce static noise interference to the memory, and thus can increase the static noise capacity of the memory.
The second flow dividing unit 22 includes: a third shunt transistor FD2, the third shunt transistor FD2 including: a third shunt gate connected to the second pull-down gate; the third shunt source electrode is connected with the second shunt output end;
A fourth shunt transistor FG2, the fourth shunt transistor FG2 comprising: a fourth shunt gate connected with the second transfer gate; the fourth shunt source electrode is connected with the third shunt drain electrode; a fourth shunt drain connected to the second shunt input.
In this embodiment, if the second storage node B is at a low level "0", the second connection point 2 is at a high level "1", and the preset potential applied to the second bit line BL2 is a preset potential; in the reading process, the word line WL is connected to the high node "1", the second pass transistor PG2 and the fourth shunt transistor FG2 are turned on, and the second connection point is at the high level "1", so that the second pull-down transistor PD2 and the third shunt transistor FD2 are turned on, and therefore, the preset potential and the ground terminal can form a path through the second shunt unit 22, so that the ground terminal can pull down the second preset potential through the second shunt unit 22, and the second bit line BL2 can output a correct reading result. Therefore, the second shunting unit 22 can reduce the interference of static noise to the memory, and thus can increase the static noise capacity of the memory.
In other embodiments, the first shunting unit may further include only the first shunting transistor, the first shunting source region is connected to the ground terminal, and the first shunting drain region is connected to the first bit line; the second shunt unit may further include only the third shunt transistor, the third shunt source region is connected to the ground terminal, and the third shunt drain region is connected to the second bit line.

The first shunt unit can reduce the interference of static noise on the first shunt input end to the memory circuit; the second shunt unit can reduce the interference of static noise on the second shunt input end to the memory circuit. It follows that static noise is less disturbing to the memory circuitry, and the static noise capacity of the memory is greater.

Since the potential of the first connection point 1 is low level "0", the first pull-up transistor PU1 is turned on, the first pull-down transistor PD1 and the first shunt transistor FD1 are turned off, so that the third bit line BL1a is disconnected from the ground, and further, the preset potential applied to the third bit line BL1a is not pulled down, so that the third bit line BL1a outputs high level "1", and thus the data stored in the first storage node a can be read through the third bit line BL1 a.
If the potential of the second storage node B is at the high level "1", the potential of the first connection point 1 is at the high level "1", the first connection point 1 is opposite to the potential of the first storage node a, the potential of the first storage node a is at the low level "0", and thus the potential of the second connection point 2 is at the low level "0".
Since the potential of the first connection point 1 is at the high level "1", the first pull-up transistor PU1 is turned off, and the first pull-down transistor PD1 and the first shunt transistor FD1 are turned on, so that a path is formed between the third bit line BL1a and the ground terminal, which can pull down the potential on the third bit line BL1a, so that the third bit line BL1a outputs a low level "0", which is the same as the potential of the first storage node a, so that the storage data of the first storage node a can be read through the third bit line BL1 a.
Since the potential of the second connection point 2 is at a low level "0", the second pull-up transistor PU2 is turned on, the second pull-down transistor PD2 and the third shunt transistor FD2 are turned off, and the fourth bit line BL2a is disconnected from the ground, so that the preset potential applied to the fourth bit line BL2a is not pulled down, and the fourth bit line BL2a outputs a high level "1", so that the data stored in the second storage node B can be read through the fourth bit line BL2 a.
As can be seen from the above analysis, in this embodiment, the data in the memory cell 30 can be read through the third bit line BL1a and the fourth bit line BL2a, and the preset potential is not applied to the first storage node a and the second storage node B during the reading process, so that the data stored in the memory cell 30 is not easily affected, and thus, a reading error does not easily occur, and therefore, the noise immunity of the memory is improved, and the static noise capacity is increased.
In this embodiment, the first shunting unit 12 includes: a first shunt transistor FD1 and a second shunt transistor FG 1; the second flow dividing unit 22 includes: a third shunt transistor FD2 and a fourth shunt transistor FG 2.

With continued reference to FIG. 11, an operating potential is applied across the first bit line BL1 and the second bit line BL 2.
In this embodiment, the working method includes: a write operation and a read operation.
In the write operation, the working potential is a storage potential.
The step of applying a storage potential on the first bit line BL1 and the second bit line BL2 comprises: a storage potential is applied to the first bit line BL1 and the second bit line BL2, forming a storage signal in the memory cell 30.
Specifically, if the signal to be stored is at a high level "1", the storage potential applied to the first bit line BL1 is at a high level "1"; the storage potential applied to the second bit line BL2 is low level "0".
Since the potential on the first bit line BL1 is high level "1", the potential of the first storage node a is high level "1"; since the potential on the second bit line BL2 is at low level "0", the potential on the second storage node B is at low level "0".
When the potential of the first storage node a is at the high level "1", the potential of the second connection point 2 is at the high level "1", so that the second pull-down transistor PD2 is turned on, the second storage node B applies the first potential Vss, the first potential is at the low level "0", and therefore, the potential of the second storage node B is at the low level "0", the first pull-down transistor is turned off, the first pull-up transistor PU1 is turned on, so that the first storage node a applies the second potential Vdd, and the second potential Vdd is at the high level "1", so that the first storage node a stores the high level "1".
If the signal to be stored is low level "0", the storage potential applied on the first bit line BL1 is high level "0"; the storage potential applied to the second bit line BL2 is high level "1".
Since the potential on the first bit line BL1 is at a low level "0", the potential of the first storage node a is at a low level "0"; since the potential on the second bit line BL2 is at the high level "1", the potential on the second storage node B is at the high level "1".
The potential of the first storage node a is at a low level "0", and the potential of the second connection point 2 is at a low level "0", so that the second pull-down transistor PD2 is turned off, and the second pull-up transistor PU2 is turned on, so that the second storage node B applies the second potential Vdd, and the second potential is at a high level "1", and thus, the second storage node potential is at a high level "1"; when the potential of the second storage node B is at the high level "1", the potential of the first connection point 1 is at the high level "1", the first pull-down transistor PD1 is turned on, the first pull-up transistor PU1 is turned off, and the first storage node a is applied with the first potential Vss, which is at the high level "0", so that the first storage node a stores the low level "0".
As can be seen from the above analysis, the operating method of the memory is capable of writing a storage signal in the memory.
In the reading operation, the working potential is a preset potential. The step of applying an operating potential on the first bit line BL1 and the second bit line BL2 comprises: a preset potential is applied to the first bit line BL1 and the second bit line BL2, and the preset potential is greater than the first potential Vss.
In this embodiment, the preset potential is a high level "1".
In this embodiment, if the potential of the storage node a is at the high level "1", and the potential of the second node 2 is at the high level "1", the second pull-up transistor PU2 is turned off, and the second pull-down transistor PD2 is turned on, and the first potential Vss is applied to the second bit line BL 2. Since the first potential Vss is at a low level "1", the preset potential of the second bit line BL2 is pulled down to a low level "0", forming a read potential negation. Meanwhile, the second storage node B is at a low level "0", the potential of the first connection point 1 is at a low level "0", the first pull-down transistor PD1 is turned off, the first pull-up transistor PU1 is turned on, so that the first bit line BL1 applies the second potential Vdd, the second potential Vdd is at a high level "1", and thus, the preset potential of the first bit line BL1 is at a high level "1", forming a read potential. The read signal includes the read potential and the read potential.
It should be noted that, from the above analysis, when the potential of the first storage node a is at the high level "1" during the process of applying the preset potential to the first bit line BL1 and the second bit line BL2, the potential of the second storage node B is at the low level "0", the potential of the second connection point 2 is at the high level "1", the third shunt transistor FD2 is turned on because the third shunt gate is connected to the second connection point 2, and the second shunt unit 22 is turned on because the fourth shunt transistor FG2 is turned on, so that the second bit line BL2 applies the first potential Vss through the second shunt unit 22, and therefore the first potential Vss can also pull down the preset potential on the second bit line BL2 through the second shunt unit 22, so that the preset potential can be prevented from raising the potential of the second storage node B, the potential inversion is avoided, so that the interference of static noise on the memory can be reduced, and the static storage capacity of the memory is increased.
In addition, in the process of applying the preset potential to the first bit line BL1 and the second bit line BL2, when the potential of the second storage node B is at a high level "1" and the potential of the first storage node a is at a low level "0", the potential of the first connection point is at a high level "1", the first shunt transistor FD1 is turned on because the first shunt gate is connected to the first connection point 1, and the first shunt unit 12 is turned on because the second shunt transistor FG1 is turned on, so that the first bit line BL1 applies the first potential Vss through the first shunt unit 12, and thus Vss can also pull down the preset potential on the first bit line BL1 through the first shunt unit 12, thereby preventing the preset potential from raising the potential of the first storage node a, the potential inversion is avoided, so that the interference of static noise on the memory can be reduced, and the static storage capacity of the memory is increased.
In this embodiment, the first channel width of the first pull-down transistor PD1 is greater than the second channel width of the first pass transistor PG1, thereby enabling the saturation current of the first pull-down transistor PD1 to be greater than the running sum current of the first pass transistor PG 1. Meanwhile, the third channel width of the second pull-down transistor PD2 is greater than the fourth channel width of the second pass transistor PG2, thereby enabling the saturation current of the second pull-down transistor PD2 to be greater than the saturation current of the second pass transistor PG 2. The beta ratio of the memory can be increased, and the static noise capacity of the memory can be increased.
In other embodiments, the first channel width of the first pull-down transistor may also be equal to the second channel width of the first pass transistor; the third channel width of the second pull-down transistor may also be equal to the fourth channel width of the second pass transistor.
In the operating method of the memory provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the memory circuit includes at least a first shunting unit and a second shunting unit. The first shunt unit can reduce the interference of static noise on the first shunt input end to the memory circuit; the second shunt unit can reduce the interference of static noise on the second shunt input end to the memory circuit. Therefore, the static noise has less interference with the memory circuit, and the static noise capacity of the memory circuit is large.

Specifically, if the signal to be stored is at a high level "1", the storage potential applied to the first bit line BL1 is at a high level "1"; the storage potential applied to the second bit line BL2 is low level "0".
Since the potential on the first bit line BL1 is high level "1", the potential of the first storage node a is high level "1"; since the potential on the second bit line BL2 is at low level "0", the potential on the second storage node B is at low level "0".
When the potential of the first storage node a is at the high level "1", the potential of the second connection point 2 is at the high level "1", so that the second pull-down transistor PD2 is turned on, the second storage node B applies the first potential Vss, which is at the low level "0", and thus, the potential of the second storage node B is at the low level "0", the potential of the first connection point 1 is at the low level "0", the first pull-down transistor PD1 is turned off, the first pull-up transistor PU1 is turned on, so that the first storage node a applies the second potential Vdd, which is at the high level "1", and thus the first storage node a stores the high level "1".
If the signal to be stored is low level "0", the storage potential applied on the first bit line BL1 is high level "0"; the storage potential applied to the second bit line BL2 is high level "1".
Since the potential on the first bit line BL1 is at a low level "0", the potential of the first storage node a is at a low level "0"; since the potential on the second bit line BL2 is at the high level "1", the potential on the second storage node B is at the high level "1".
When the potential of the first storage node a is at the low level "0", the potential of the second connection point 2 is at the low level "0", so that the second pull-down transistor PD2 is turned off, the second pull-up transistor PU2 is turned on, the second storage node B applies the second potential Vdd, and the second potential is at the high level "1", so that the potential of the second storage node B is at the high level "1", the first pull-down transistor PD1 is turned on, the first pull-up transistor PU1 is turned off, so that the first storage node a applies the first potential Vss, and the first potential Vss is at the low level "0", so that the first storage node a stores the low level "0".
In the reading operation, the working method further includes: applying preset potentials to the third bit line BL1a and the fourth bit line BL2a, wherein the preset potentials act with the memory cell to form a read signal; the read signals are taken on the third bit line BL1a and fourth bit line BL2 a.
Specifically, in a read operation, a word line signal is applied to the word line WL, the word line signal is at a high level "1", the first pass transistor PG1 and the second shunt transistor FG1 are turned on, and the second pass transistor PG2 and the fourth shunt transistor FG2 are turned on.
A preset potential is applied to the third bit line BL1a and the fourth bit line BL2 a.
In this embodiment, the preset potential is a high level "1".
If the potential of the first storage node a is at the high level "1" and the potential of the second storage node B is at the low level "0", the potential of the second connection point 2 is at the high level "1", so that the second pull-down transistor PD2 and the third shunt transistor FD2 are turned on, the second shunt unit 22 is turned on, so that the fourth bit line BL2a applies the first potential Vss, which pulls down the preset potential on the fourth bit line BL2a due to the first potential Vss being at the low level "0", to form a read potential not, so that the fourth bit line BL2a outputs a low level "0", so that the read potential is not the same as the potential of the second storage node B. Meanwhile, since the potential of the first connection point 1 is at the low level "0", the first pull-down transistor PD1 and the first shunt transistor FD1 are turned off, and the preset potential on the third bit line BL1a is not pulled down by the first potential Vss, so that the third bit line BL1a outputs a read potential, which is at the high level "1", the read potential being the same as the potential of the first storage node a.
If the potential of the first storage node a is at a low level "0" and the potential of the second storage node B is at a high level "1", the potential of the first connection point 1 is at a high level "1", so that the first pull-down transistor PD1 and the first shunt transistor FD1 are turned on, the first shunt unit 12 is turned on, so that the first potential Vss is applied to the third bit line BL1a, and since the first potential Vss is at a low level "0", the first potential Vss pulls down a preset potential on the third bit line BL1a to form a read potential, even if the third bit line BL1a outputs a low level "0", so that the read potential is the same as the potential of the first storage node a. Meanwhile, since the potential of the second connection point 2 is at the low level "0", the second pull-down transistor PD2 and the third shunting unit FD2 are turned off, and the preset potential on the fourth bit line BL2a is not pulled down by the first potential Vss, so that the fourth bit line BL2a outputs a high level "1", forming a read potential. Therefore, the read potential is the same as the potential of the second storage node B.
As can be seen from the above analysis, in the present embodiment, the storage data in the memory cell 30 can be read through the third bit line BL1a and the fourth bit line BL2 a.
It should be noted that, in the read operation, the preset potential is applied to the third bit line BL1a and the fourth bit line BL2a, when the first storage node a is at a low level "0", the first shunting unit 12 is turned on, and the preset potential is connected to the first potential Vss through the first shunting unit 12, so that the preset potential is not applied to the first storage node a, and therefore the potential of the first storage node a is not raised, and therefore the potential of the first storage node a is not easily inverted, and further a read error is not easily generated, and therefore, the working method can reduce the interference of static noise on the memory, and further can increase the static noise capacity of the memory;
when the second storage node B is at a low level "0", the second shunting unit 22 is turned on, and the preset potential is connected to the second potential Vdd through the second shunting unit 22, so that the preset potential is not applied to the second storage node B, and thus the potential of the second storage node B is not raised, and the potential of the second storage node B is not easily inverted, and thus a reading error is not easily generated.
In summary, in the operating method of the memory provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the memory circuit at least includes a first shunting unit and a second shunting unit. The first shunt unit can reduce the interference of static noise on the first shunt input end to the memory circuit; the second shunt unit can reduce the interference of static noise on the second shunt input end to the memory circuit. It can be seen that static noise has less interference with the memory circuit, and the static noise capacity of the memory circuit is greater.
Although the present invention is disclosed above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
