Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
According to the resistive random access memory and the drive control circuit thereof, the high-voltage power supply is provided by the high-voltage-resistant high-voltage transmission gate unit, and the high-voltage power supply is blocked by the sampling isolation high-voltage unit, so that a circuit which originally needs to completely adopt high-voltage devices can be mostly changed into low-voltage devices with smaller areas, the areas of the low-voltage devices can be greatly reduced, and the low-voltage drive control unit adopts the low-voltage devices and low-voltage signals to realize low-voltage drive, thereby greatly reducing the occupied area of a SET/RESET drive part, realizing the reduction of the whole area of the resistive random access memory, and facilitating the miniaturization of the resistive random access memory.
In order to better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
In order to better understand the technical solution, the technical solution will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments.
A drive control circuit of a resistance change memory and a resistance change memory having the same proposed by an embodiment of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the driving control circuit of the resistive random access memory according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a low voltage driving control unit 101 and a high voltage transmission gate unit 102.
The low voltage driving control unit 101 generates a low voltage driving signal according to a writing signal, such as a SET signal or a RESET signal, and the high voltage transmission gate unit 102 applies the low voltage driving signal to a corresponding resistance change memory unit 200 in the resistance change memory according to a high voltage provided by a preset power supply VH to perform a writing operation on the resistance change memory unit 200.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the high voltage and the low voltage are relative, that is, the high voltage means that the driving voltage applied to the high-voltage device is high, and the low voltage means that the driving voltage applied to the low-voltage device is low, for example, the high voltage may be 2.8V, the low voltage may be 0.9V, and both are high relative to the low potential of 0V.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the low voltage driving control unit 101 may use a low voltage device and a low voltage signal to implement low voltage driving, so that the occupied area of the SET/RESET driving portion may be greatly reduced, and the entire area of the resistive random access memory may be reduced.
Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5, the driving control circuit of the resistive random access memory further includes an isolation high voltage unit 103, where the isolation high voltage unit 103 is disposed between the low voltage driving control unit 101 and the high voltage transmission gate unit 102 to isolate the high voltage provided by the preset power VH.
The high-voltage power supply VH of the high-voltage transmission gate unit 102 is resisted by the isolation high-voltage unit 103, so that the low-voltage driving control unit 101 can conveniently realize low-voltage driving by adopting low-voltage devices and low-voltage signals, and the low-voltage driving control unit which originally adopts all high-voltage devices can be changed into a low-voltage device with a small area.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5, the high voltage transmission gate unit 102 includes a first high voltage PMOS transistor MP1 and a second high voltage PMOS transistor MP 2.
The source of the first high-voltage PMOS transistor MP1 is connected to a preset power supply VH, for example, 2.8V, the gate of the first high-voltage PMOS transistor MP1 is connected to the SETB signal terminal, and the drain of the first high-voltage PMOS transistor MP1 is connected to the bit line BL of the resistance change memory cell 200; the source of the second high-voltage PMOS transistor MP2 is connected to the preset power VH, the gate of the second high-voltage PMOS transistor MP2 is connected to the RESETB signal terminal, and the drain of the second high-voltage PMOS transistor MP2 is connected to the ground line SL of the resistive memory cell 200.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, only two PMOS transistors with high voltage endurance are needed to provide the high voltage power VH, for example, 2.8V, and since the number of PMOS series devices providing the high voltage power becomes smaller, the area thereof can be reduced.
Also, as shown in fig. 4 or 5, the isolation high-pressure unit 103 includes a first N-type EDMOS tube N1 and a second N-type EDMOS tube N2.
The drain of the first N-type EDMOS transistor N1 is connected to the drain of the first high-voltage PMOS transistor MP1, the gate of the first N-type EDMOS transistor N1 is connected to the selection signal terminal YN, and the source of the first N-type EDMOS transistor N1 is connected to the first output terminal of the low-voltage drive control unit 101; a drain of the second N-type EDMOS transistor N2 is connected to a drain of the second high-voltage PMOS transistor MP2, a gate of the second N-type EDMOS transistor N2 is connected to the selection signal terminal YN, and a source of the second N-type EDMOS transistor N2 is connected to the second output terminal of the low-voltage drive control unit 101.
In this embodiment, by providing the isolated high voltage unit 103, and the isolated high voltage unit 103 employs a NEDMOS transistor to withstand a high potential, the driving control circuit that originally would employ all high voltage devices can be changed to a low voltage device having a smaller area, and thus the occupied area can be greatly reduced.
Alternatively, in one embodiment of the present invention, the low voltage driving control unit 101 includes: the first driver 10 and the second driver 20, the first low voltage NMOS transistor MN1 and the second low voltage NMOS transistor MN 2.
The source of the first low-voltage NMOS transistor MN1 is connected to the first driver 10, the gate of the first low-voltage NMOS transistor MN1 is connected to the SET signal end, and the drain of the first low-voltage NMOS transistor MN1 is used as the first output end of the low-voltage drive control unit 101; the source of the second low voltage NMOS transistor MN2 is connected to the second driver 20, the gate of the second low voltage NMOS transistor MN2 is connected to the RESET signal terminal, and the drain of the second low voltage NMOS transistor MN2 serves as the second output terminal of the low voltage driving control unit 101.
In the low voltage driving control unit 101 of the present embodiment, the originally used high voltage NMOS is changed to a low voltage NMOS device, so that the entire area of the control circuit can be greatly reduced.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the SET signal provided by the SET signal terminal has a level opposite to that of the SETB signal provided by the SETB signal terminal, and the RESET signal provided by the RESET signal terminal has a level opposite to that of the RESETB signal provided by the RESETB signal terminal.
As shown in fig. 6, in the timing waveform diagram of the driving control circuit according to the embodiment of the present invention, a write operation can be performed on the resistance change memory cell 200 when the SET signal is at a high level or the RESET signal is at a high level by the SET signal, the RESET signal, the YN signal, the SETB signal, the RESETB signal, and the VH signal, and the operation of the resistance change memory cell 200 is as shown in the table in fig. 3.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6 and 7 in combination, the high voltage VH is supplied by the high voltage PMOS and withstood by the high voltage VH by the NEDMOS, so that the SET/reset driving part can be replaced with the low voltage NMOS, and the area can be greatly reduced by using the low voltage NMOS.
Therefore, the driving control circuit of the resistive random access memory according to the embodiment of the invention mainly utilizes the high-voltage resistant PMOS to provide the high-voltage power supply VH and the N EDMOS to withstand the high voltage, so that the driving portion which originally needs to adopt all the high-voltage devices can be changed into the low-voltage devices with smaller area. In addition, the area of the PMOS series device for providing the high-voltage power supply is reduced, and the area of the original high-voltage NMOS is also reduced, so that the whole area can be greatly reduced. In addition, the original control circuit needs to provide a high-voltage signal and can also be changed into a low-voltage signal for control, so that the control circuit can be further simplified and reduced, and the miniaturization of the resistive random access memory is realized.
Alternatively, according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5, the resistive memory cell 200 includes a resistive element 201 and a control transistor 202, a first end of the control transistor 202 is connected to a bit line BL of the resistive memory cell 200, a control end of the control transistor 202 is connected to a word line WL of the resistive memory cell 200, a second end of the control transistor 202 is connected to one end of the resistive element 201, and another end of the resistive element 201 is connected to a ground line SL of the resistive memory cell 200.
The resistive element 201 may be of a sandwich structure, that is, composed of a top electrode, a resistive dielectric layer, and a bottom electrode. The metal material of the bottom electrode and the top electrode of the resistive switching element may be TiN, and may be other metal materials, which is not specifically limited herein.
Optionally, as an embodiment, the resistive medium layer may be a binary transition metal oxide.
In some embodiments of the invention, when the resistive element is prepared, the etching process and the deposition process can be adopted to intersect, so that the etching process can be simplified, the complexity of etching materials can be reduced, the forming process of the conductive wires can be gathered, the conductive wires are formed and gathered at the top/bottom electrodes, the distribution is uniform and uniform, and the resistance change performance is greatly improved. In addition, the plasma damage area can be disabled, oxidation treatment is not needed, and the process is simple and reliable.
Alternatively, in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5, the control transistor 202 may be an NMOS transistor.
The writing operation of the resistive element is controlled by the transistor, so that the interference of adjacent resistive memory units can be well isolated, and the method is more suitable for being compatible with a CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process.
According to the drive control circuit of the resistive random access memory, the low-voltage drive control unit outputs the low-voltage drive signal by adopting the low-voltage signal and the low-voltage device, the low-voltage drive signal is applied to the corresponding resistive random access memory unit in the resistive random access memory only by the high-voltage transmission gate unit according to the high voltage provided by the preset power supply, and the writing operation of the resistive random access memory unit is realized, so that most of circuits which originally need to completely adopt the high-voltage signal and the high-voltage device can use the low-voltage device and the low-voltage signal with smaller area, the occupied area of the SET/RESET drive part can be greatly reduced, the whole area of the resistive random access memory is reduced, and the miniaturization of the resistive random access memory is facilitated.
