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 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 connected in the conductive material layer of corresponding active area array, i.e., adjacent bit line contact pad 320 is at this time still through conductive material layer
It is connected with each other.Based on this, in the preferred scheme, the bit line figure 721 also further extends to institute's bitline contact pad 320
Interior zone in, thus enable between adjacent bit line contact pad 320 and the conductive material layer of non-corresponding bit line by
Expose (that is, enable between adjacent bit lines engagement pad 320 conductive material layer interconnected by adjacent bit line figure it
Between gap expose), and then by subsequent etching technics, can ensure between each bit line contact pad 320 mutually every
It is disconnected.
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.

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.
