Description

Semiconductor structure, manufacturing method thereof, semiconductor memory and electronic equipment
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to the technical field of semiconductors, and in particular relates to a semiconductor structure, a manufacturing method thereof, a semiconductor memory and an electronic device.
Background
Dynamic random access memory (Dynamic Random Access Memory, DRAM) is a semiconductor memory that generally includes an array of memory cells, each cell capable of storing a bit of information. A typical cell configuration consists of a capacitor for storing charge (i.e., bits of information) and a transistor that provides an access signal to the capacitor during read and write operations. The transistor is connected between the bit line and the capacitor and is gated (turned on or off) by the word line signal. During a read operation, bits of stored information are read from the cells via the associated bit lines. During a write operation, bits of information are stored in the cell from the bit line via the transistor. The cells are dynamic in nature (due to leakage) and must therefore be periodically refreshed.
The RowHammer attack is an attack on DRAM. The main working principle is as follows: the electromagnetic effect between adjacent memory units in the high-density memory is utilized to cause errors, such as: an attacker can increase the probability of a mutation of the target memory by frequently accessing the memory of adjacent lines of the target memory, and cause a change in the stored value in a target memory area which is not originally authorized to be accessed.
The RowHammer problem still exists in the existing DRAM, and the physical distance between semiconductor devices in the DRAM is reduced by the progress of DRAM manufacturing technology, so that the physical distance between word lines is also reduced, and the RowHammer problem is more serious due to the increase of the coupling between word lines. The RowHammer problem, which is an important issue regarding DRAM reliability, is expected to be more serious in the future, and the improvement of the coupling between word lines is urgent.
