One word line group is formed in the substrate, and the word line group includes a plurality of word successively arranged along a first direction Line, each wordline extend in a second direction and connect with the corresponding active area;
One set of bit lines is formed over the substrate, and the set of bit lines includes a plurality of position successively arranged along second direction Line, each bit line extend in a first direction and connect with the corresponding active area;And
One peripheral partition wall forms over the substrate and is arranged in the periphery of the set of bit lines, and the peripheral partition wall It is located in same structure layer with the set of bit lines.
In integrated circuit memory provided by the invention, since outer place in set of bit lines is provided with peripheral partition wall, and Peripheral partition wall and set of bit lines balance in set of bit lines in same structure layer, therefore when preparing set of bit lines using peripheral partition wall The circuit configuration concentration of corresponding intermediate region and corresponding edge region, makes to be formed by each bit line and is uniformly etched Intensity, to be formed, pattern is close and uniform bit line.
Integrated circuit memory proposed by the present invention and integrated circuit are stored below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments The forming method of device, semiconductor device are described in further detail.According to following explanation, advantages of the present invention and spy Sign will become apparent from.It should be noted that attached drawing is all made of very simplified form and using non-accurate ratio, only to side Just, the purpose of the embodiment of the present invention is lucidly aided in illustrating.
Fig. 2 is the structural schematic diagram of the integrated circuit memory in the embodiment of the present invention one, and Fig. 3 is the embodiment of the present invention one In integrated circuit memory its set of bit lines and word line group structural schematic diagram.In conjunction with shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the integrated circuit Memory includes:
One substrate 100, with multiple active areas 110 in array arrangement, the active area 110 in the substrate 100 For constituting storage unit;
One word line group 200 is formed in the substrate 100, and the word line group 200 includes a plurality of (side X along a first direction To) wordline 210 successively arranged, each wordline 210 extend in second direction (Y-direction) and with it is corresponding described active Area 110 connects;
One set of bit lines 300 is formed on the substrate 100, and the set of bit lines 300 includes a plurality of along the second direction (side Y To) bit line 310 successively arranged, each bit line 310 extend in the first direction (x-direction) and with it is corresponding described active Area 110 connects;
One peripheral partition wall 400 forms over the substrate and is arranged in the periphery of the set of bit lines 300, and described outer Enclosure wall 400 and the set of bit lines 300 are located in same structure layer.
By the way that peripheral partition wall 400 is arranged to surround set of bit lines 300, to avoid being located on marginal position in set of bit lines 300 Bit line 310 be exposed to spacious be left white in region.In this way, especially be made when forming the integrated circuit memory During standby set of bit lines, it can be effectively improved and correspond to the problem of the bit line on marginal position is attacked by biggish etching, And then ensures to be formed by the bit line being located on marginal position in set of bit lines and have biggish pattern.Alternatively, it is also understood that By the way that peripheral partition wall 400 is arranged, to increase the arrangement concentration for corresponding to the bit line on marginal position in set of bit lines 300, make It is located at its circuit configuration concentration of the bit line of marginal position in set of bit lines 300, it can be close to being located at middle area in set of bit lines The circuit configuration concentration of the bit line in domain.Since circuit configuration concentration is uniform, it is equal that subsequent etching can be improved accordingly Even property, so can make to be formed by set of bit lines positioned at the bit line of marginal position and positioned at its pattern of the bit line of intermediate region and It is of uniform size.
Emphasis is refering to what is shown in Fig. 3, have the first size of space D1, the periphery partition wall between the adjacent bit line 310 There is the second size of space D2, second size of space D2 and first interval ruler between 400 and immediate bit line 310 The absolute difference of very little D1 is less than or equal to the width value of the bit line.That is, being located at the bit line on marginal position in the set of bit lines 300 The second size of space D2 between peripheral partition wall 400, the first size of space D1 between adjacent bit lines in the set of bit lines It is close or even equal, so as to keep circuit configuration corresponding to the bit line being located on marginal position in the set of bit lines 300 intensive Degree and in set of bit lines be located at intermediate region on bit line corresponding to circuit configuration concentration it is close or identical, be conducive to for The pattern uniformity between each bit line is further increased when subsequent preparation set of bit lines.
With continued reference to shown in Fig. 2, definition has a device region AA and a peripheral region BB, the periphery in the substrate 100 Area BB is located at the periphery of the device region AA.Wherein, multiple active areas 110, the word line group 200, the set of bit lines 300 It is arranged in the device region AA of the substrate with peripheral partition wall 400.It is to be understood that the device region AA is to be used for Form the region of storage unit.
Further, the active area array being made of multiple active areas 110 can be with the center device region AA weight It closes, and the area of the device region AA is greater than the area of the active area array, to keep the active area array complete It is all contained in the device region AA.That is, the periphery tool in the regional scope of device region AA and positioned at the active area array There is a bit line side to be left white area.
With specific reference to shown in Fig. 2, in the first direction (x-direction), from most marginal active area 110 to the device region AA Boundary between have bit line side be left white area (that is, first is left white area CC-1) it is believed that described first be left white area CC-1 extension On side of the active area array in first direction;And in second direction (Y-direction), from most marginal active area 110 are left white area (that is, second is left white area CC-2) it is believed that described to also having bit line side between the boundary of the device region AA Second, which is left white area CC-2, extends in the active area array on the side in second direction.Wherein, described first it is left white area CC- 1 and described second is left white area CC-2 and all has biggish width dimensions, such as described first is left white area CC-1 in a first direction Width dimensions be greater than the width dimensions between adjacent bit lines and described second be left white the width of area CC-2 in a second direction Size is greater than the width dimensions between adjacent bit lines.
It should be noted that being only to schematically illustrate the structural schematic diagram in part of devices area in Fig. 2, should recognize It arrives, device region can also further extend toward the right direction in face of drawing along the X direction and device region can also be along Y Further extend upwards toward in face of drawing in direction.
In optional scheme, its wordline 210 extends along second direction (Y-direction) in the word line group 200, and can be into one Step extends to the boundary of the device region AA.That is, the wordline 120 is connected with corresponding active area 110, and cross described active Area's array is to further extend in the second white space CC-2 of active area array periphery.And in the set of bit lines 300 Bit line 310 extends and connects with corresponding active area 110 along a first direction (X-direction).As described above, in active area array Periphery have extend in a second direction second be left white area CC-2, be typically left white in area CC-2 and be not present described second Active area, and then bit line will not be additionally set.Based on this, the bit line 310 in the set of bit lines 300 on marginal position is Described second is exposed to be left white in area CC-2.
As stated in the background art and as shown in connection with fig. 1, in traditional integrated circuit memory, set of bit lines 30 it is peripheral not It is provided with peripheral partition wall, so that the 31 one side of bit line being located on marginal position in set of bit lines 30 be made to be directly exposed to spaciousness Be left white in region, and further result in set of bit lines 30 positioned at marginal position bit line corresponding to the intensive journey of circuit configuration Degree has larger difference with circuit configuration concentration corresponding to the bit line in set of bit lines positioned at intermediate region, therefore is making During standby set of bit lines, easily lead to the irregular problem of its figure of bit line being located on marginal position in set of bit lines.
However, peripheral partition wall 400 is provided in outer place of set of bit lines 300, in the present embodiment to avoid set of bit lines 300 In be located at the bit line 310 on marginal position and be directly exposed to spacious second and be left white in area CC-2.Wherein, the peripheral partition wall 400 can be understood as being partially filled with described second and be left white area CC-2, with increase by second be left white area CC-2 circuit configuration it is intensive Degree, the difference for the circuit configuration concentration for avoiding the circuit configuration concentration of corresponding set of bit lines from being left white area with corresponding second It is excessive.
Wherein, the width dimensions of the peripheral partition wall 400 can be adjusted according to actual state.For example, the present embodiment In second be left white the width dimensions of area CC-2 much larger than the first size of space D1 between adjacent bit lines, can increase accordingly at this time outer The width dimensions of enclosure wall 400, so that the second size of space D2 between most marginal bit line 310 and peripheral partition wall 400 can Close to first size of space D1.In the present embodiment, the width dimensions of the periphery partition wall 400 are greater than the bit line 310 Width dimensions.And the length dimension of the peripheral partition wall 400 can also further be greater than the length dimension of bit line 310, and can make Two ends that two ends of the periphery partition wall 400 in their extension direction are respectively relative to the bit line further extend Out, so as to make the set of bit lines 300, face has the peripheral partition wall 400 on facing the second side for being left white area CC-2.
Further, the peripheral partition wall 400 includes the first partition wall portion, and first partition wall portion is along the first direction (X-direction) extends, and the bit line of corresponding edge position is arranged in far from the outside at set of bit lines center (that is, the of peripheral partition wall 400 The two sides of the set of bit lines 120 along the X direction are arranged in one partition wall portion).In the present embodiment, the periphery partition wall 400 only includes First partition wall portion, therefore the peripheral partition wall 400 can be strip structure and be parallel to the bit line 310.And it is based on Each bit line is successively sequentially arranged in the present embodiment, and the periphery partition wall 400 can be further disposed at top bit line and most bottom The outside of bit line, and comply with the distributing order of each bit line.
With continued reference to shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the integrated circuit memory further include: multiple bit line contact pads 320 are formed On the substrate 100, institute's bitline contact pad 320 is connect with the end of a bit line 310, for realizing each The extraction of bit line 310.It should be noted that institute's bitline contact pad 320 can be set in device region AA, also can be set In the BB of peripheral region, as long as bit line contact pad 320 can be connected with corresponding bit line 310, in the present embodiment, the bit line is connect Touch pad 320 is arranged in device region AA.
Wherein, the bit line 310 extends along opposite first end and the second end there are two the tools of direction.Preferred side Case, in two adjacent bit lines 310, corresponding two bit line contact pads 320 are respectively formed at the first of two bit lines On end and the second end.That is, wherein the bit line contact pad 320 of a bit line is formed in the first end of corresponding bit line On, the bit line contact pad 320 of another bit line is formed on the second end of corresponding bit line, so that two adjacent positions Two bit line contact pads 320 on line mutually stagger.In this way, which the area of each bit line engagement pad 320 can be increased.Especially It is, with the continuous promotion of the arrangement concentration of the continuous reduction and integrated circuit of dimensions of semiconductor devices, to utilize Photoetching process directly defines the bit line contact pad of microsize, and difficulty is also bigger.Also, by limit lithographic process window Limitation, also easily lead to occur between adjacent bit lines engagement pad the risk of short circuit.
Specifically, the multiple bit lines 310 in integrated circuit memory in its set of bit lines 300 are for example using pitch-multiplied work Skill (Pitch Doubling) formation, in this way, can make to be formed by multiple bit lines 310, the spacing between adjacent bit lines 310 Size is significantly smaller than photolithography limitation spacing dimension and the width dimensions of bit line 310 are also smaller than photolithography limitation width dimensions, into And be advantageously implemented integrated circuit memory its size reduction and the storage unit in integrated circuit memory arrangement it is close Collection degree.
Refering to what is shown in Fig. 1, its bit line contact pad 32 is normally located at each bit line in traditional integrated circuit memory On 31 same end.As it can be seen that for the set of bit lines 30 formed using pitch multiplication process, due to the width of each bit line Lesser spacing dimension is only reserved between the reduction and adjacent bit lines of size, therefore, is being defined by photoetching process and position When the bit line contact pad that line is correspondingly connected with, it need to need to ensure that the size of each bit line engagement pad 32 is sufficiently small, and need to avoid phase Adjacent 32 short circuit of bit line contact pad, however this will cause greatly to challenge to existing photoetching process.
It is each so as to increase however refering to what is shown in Fig. 2, multiple bit line contact pads 320 are staggered in the present embodiment The area of bit line contact pad 320, and the spacing between immediate two bit line contact pads 320 can be increased, therefore making When standby bit line contact pad 320, lithographic process window can be increased, to reduce the preparation difficulty of bit line contact pad 320, be effectively improved The problem of short circuit is easy to happen between adjacent bit lines engagement pad 320.As it can be seen that for the bit line formed using pitch multiplication process For group 300, staggered bit line contact pad 320 provided in the present embodiment, advantage is become apparent, and improvement is more For protrusion.

That is, in this step, defining the subsequent peripheral circuit that need to be formed simultaneously using the first mask layer 710 and bit line connecing The figure of touch pad, and active area array is covered simultaneously, to can ensure that the conductive material layer 600 on active area array can be protected It stays, for forming the bit line in set of bit lines in subsequent processing step.In addition, the subsequent bit line contact pad that is formed by is with after It is continuous to be formed by bit line connection, therefore, hidden in the bit line contact pad figure 712 and the first mask layer 710 in the first mask layer 710 The part for being stamped source region array is connected with each other.And second is also further set to be left white in area CC-2 using the first mask layer 710 Conductive material layer is retained, for forming peripheral partition wall in subsequent technique.
It should be noted that can clearly to illustrate that the first mask layer 710 is left white area with active area array and second The structure of separation layer and conductive material layer is omitted in Fig. 7 a for covering situation between CC-2.It should be appreciated, however, that in reality Preparation process in, be formed with out conductive material layer 600 below the first mask layer 710.
Third step is to conduct described in mask etching with first mask layer 710 with specific reference to shown in Fig. 8 a and Fig. 8 b Material layer 600, to form the peripheral circuit 500 and institute's bitline contact pad 320 in the conductive material layer 600, and Corresponded in the conductive material layer 600 the active area array and described second be left white area CC-2 part be retained.
It is connect that is, being formed by bit line contact pad 320 at this time with retained conductive material layer 600, so as to be subsequently formed Bit line can be correspondingly connected with bit line contact pad 320.
Optionally, it after performing etching the conductive material layer 600, still further comprises to form a side wall 640 and exist On the side wall of conductive material layer 600 after etching, to avoid the side wall of the conductive material layer 620 in the conductive material layer 600 It exposes.
Four steps, with specific reference to shown in Fig. 9 a and Fig. 9 b, the second mask layer 720 of formation is in the conductive material layer 600 On, second mask layer 720 defines multiple bit lines figure 721 on the active area array, and defines outer enclosure Wall figure 722 is left white in area CC-2 described second, also, second mask layer 720 covers the peripheral circuit 500 and institute Bitline contact pad 320.
In preferred scheme, before forming the second mask layer 720, further includes: form an insulation fill stratum 650 and etching In the conductive material layer 600 afterwards.
Specifically, after etching the conductive material layer 600 to form peripheral circuit 500 and bit line contact pad 320, It pads the conductive material layer 600 on 320 outsides positioned at the peripheral circuit 500 and bit line contact to be then removed accordingly, therefore It is to be understood that in peripheral circuit 500, bit line contact pad 320 and remaining conductive material layer 600 (for example, being located at active area battle array The conductive material layer being retained in column) between, that is, multiple grooves are defined, to make the surface exhibits of entire substrat structure not Even curface.
In the present embodiment, in a groove by the filling of insulation fill stratum 650, to make the surface exhibits of entire substrat structure Flat surface.In this way, being conducive to improve the preparation precision of subsequent technique.For example, forming patterned second mask layer When 720, the precision of bit line figure 721 formed in the second mask layer 720 and peripheral partition wall figure 722 can be improved.

It is to be understood that the length dimension of the bit line figure 721 of second mask layer 720, which is greater than, to be had in the present embodiment The length dimension on corresponding direction of source region array, so that bit line figure 721 be enable to extend to bit line from active area array In the interior zone of engagement pad 320.It should be appreciated that having biggish length based on 720 neutrality line figure 721 of the second mask layer Size (correspondingly, the gap between adjacent bit lines figure also has longer length dimension), thus utilizing photoetching process shape When at patterned second mask layer 720, even if still being able to guarantee adjacent bit line contact pad 320 there are lithography alignment deviation Between be connected with each other conductive material layer can be exposed from the gap of adjacent bit lines figure 721.
It is of course also possible to be interpreted as, when defining bit line contact pad 320, make to be formed by bit line contact pad 320 and extend to Active area array.That is: firstly, defining larger size and extending to the bit line contact pad 320 on active area array;Then, lead to Cross the portion extension that the second mask layer 720 exposes bit line contact pad 320, with ensure between adjacent bit lines engagement pad mutually every It is disconnected.
5th step is to pass described in mask etching with second mask layer 720 with specific reference to shown in Figure 10 a and Figure 10 b Material layer is led, to form the set of bit lines on the active area array, and forms the peripheral partition wall 400 described second It is left white in area CC-2.The set of bit lines includes multiple bit lines 310.
Since not only definition has multiple bit lines figure 721 in the second mask layer 720, and in the multiple bit lines figure 721 outside there is also defined peripheral partition wall figure 722, thus in making corresponding edge region in multiple bit lines figure 721 and corresponding to Between region bit line figure circuit configuration concentration it is identical or close to identical.At this point, when executing etching technics, it can Active balance conductive material layer corresponds to the quarter of the bit line figure of intermediate region and the bit line figure in corresponding edge region in correspondence Uniformity is lost, the part of the bit line figure of corresponding edge position in conductive material layer is avoided to be attacked by bigger etching, thus It can make the bit line 310 for being located at marginal position in the set of bit lines being ultimately formed, pattern is completely without etching notch etc. Problem.
In the present embodiment, multiple bit lines 310, bit line contact pad 320, peripheral partition wall 400 and the periphery electricity of the set of bit lines Road 500 is all made of same conductive material layer and is formed, to make four to be respectively positioned in same structure layer.
