The technique of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a multi-finger MOS device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. In fig. 1, the multi-finger MOS device 100 includes:
a semiconductor substrate 101;
a substrate contact frame 102 provided on the semiconductor substrate 101;
and a plurality of single-finger MOSs 103 provided on a first substrate 1011 of the semiconductor substrate 101; wherein the first substrate 1011 is a substrate in the semiconductor substrate in a space surrounded by the substrate contact frame 102; the plurality of single-finger MOS devices are uniformly arranged on the surface of the first substrate 1011 around a first blank area of the surface of the first substrate; the first clear area 1012 is located in a central region of the first substrate surface.
It should be noted that the multi-finger MOS device may correspond to a parallel connection of a plurality of single-finger MOS devices, where the single-finger MOS device may refer to an NPN junction or a PNP junction formed between each pair of source S and drain D.
In practical applications, the semiconductor substrate may be a P-type semiconductor substrate or an N-type semiconductor substrate.
In some embodiments, when the semiconductor substrate may be a P-type semiconductor substrate, the single-finger MOS may be an N-type MOS; when the semiconductor substrate can be an N-type semiconductor substrate, the single-finger MOS can be a P-type MOS. Wherein, the N-type MOS is also an MOS containing NPN junction; a P-type MOS is also a MOS comprising a PNP junction.
Specifically, when the single-finger MOS includes an NPN junction, the semiconductor substrate is a P-type semiconductor substrate, and the single-finger MOS may include: the N-type semiconductor drain region, the N-type semiconductor source region and the P-type semiconductor source terminal substrate contact region (namely the region where the substrate contact frame is located) are arranged on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the P-type source terminal substrate contact region and the N-type semiconductor source region are connected with source S metal, and the N-type semiconductor drain region is connected with drain D metal; the N-type semiconductor source region is arranged between the P-type semiconductor source end substrate contact region and the N-type semiconductor drain region, a gate oxide layer is arranged on the surface of the P-type semiconductor substrate between the N-type semiconductor source region and the N-type semiconductor drain region, and a polycrystalline silicon gate electrode G is arranged on the surface of the gate oxide layer.
When the single finger MOS includes a PNP junction, the semiconductor substrate is an N-type semiconductor substrate, and the single finger MOS may include: an N-type semiconductor source end substrate contact area (namely an area where a substrate contact frame is located), a P-type semiconductor source area and an N-type semiconductor drain area; the N-type semiconductor source end substrate contact area, the P-type semiconductor source area and the P-type semiconductor drain area are all located on the surface of the N-type semiconductor substrate, wherein the N-type source end substrate contact area and the P-type semiconductor source area are connected with a source S metal, and the P-type semiconductor drain area is connected with a drain D metal; the P-type semiconductor source region is arranged between the N-type semiconductor source end substrate contact region and the P-type semiconductor drain region, a gate oxide layer is arranged on the surface of the N-type semiconductor substrate between the P-type semiconductor source region and the P-type semiconductor drain region, and a polycrystalline silicon gate electrode G is arranged on the surface of the gate oxide layer.
In addition, it should be further noted that fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating relations of parts included in a multi-finger MOS device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and is not a structural diagram of a real implementation, for example, in some embodiments, an outermost edge of the substrate contact frame 102 may be coincident with an edge of the semiconductor substrate 101, or may be coincident with the edge of the semiconductor substrate, and is specifically designed according to an actual layout requirement. The number of the single-finger MOSs is not fixed to 55, but may include any realizable number more than 55 or less than 55, and therefore, the number of the single-finger MOSs is not limited in the present invention. Moreover, fig. 1 and subsequent drawings show the structure and connection relationship that the present invention intends to protect in the multi-finger MOS device, and other structures and connection relationships that are essential for forming the multi-finger MOS device are not shown in the present invention, which are similar to those in the related art and are not described herein again.
In the invention, the existing multi-finger MOS device is researched, and the single-finger MOS arranged at different positions of a semiconductor substrate has different sizes of corresponding substrate resistances for a plurality of single-finger MOS contained in the multi-finger MOS device. In general, in the multi-finger MOS device, the substrate resistance Rsub corresponding to the single-finger MOS disposed in the central region of the semiconductor substrate is the largest, and the resistance value of the substrate resistance corresponding to the single-finger MOS decreases as the disposition position is away from the central region. Based on this, the voltage Vsub divided from the power supply by the single finger MOS in the center region is the largest, and then the single finger MOS is turned on (i.e., turned on) first. This is the root cause of uneven turn-on of the MOS device.
Based on this, the embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-finger MOS device, which has a layout manner for a plurality of single-finger MOS devices included therein, in which a first blank region surrounding a first substrate 1011 is uniformly disposed on the surface of the first substrate 1011, and the first blank region is a central region of the surface of the first substrate. Therefore, one or more single-finger MOS originally positioned in the central area of the first substrate are removed, namely the possibly existing maximum substrate resistance or a plurality of larger substrate resistances are removed, so that the substrate resistance Rsub corresponding to each single-finger MOS in the multiple single-finger MOS devices is not different greatly, the single-finger MOS in the multiple single-finger MOS devices can be uniformly turned on, and the possibility of burning out the ESD circuit when the multiple-finger MOS devices are used in the ESD circuit is reduced.
Here, the first substrate is a substrate in a space surrounded by the substrate contact frame in the semiconductor substrate, that is, a part of the semiconductor substrate is covered by the substrate contact frame, the covered semiconductor substrate is not capable of disposing the single-finger MOS, and only the single-finger MOS is disposed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate in the substrate contact frame.
Based on the foregoing research, the substrate resistance corresponding to each single-finger MOS included in the multi-finger MOS device varies with the deployment position, and the substrate resistance corresponding to the single-finger MOS decreases as the deployment position of the single-finger MOS is away from the central region of the first substrate. Therefore, the problem of uneven opening of the multi-finger MOS device can be improved to a certain extent by adopting one or more single-finger MOS devices with the removing parts in the central area.
In some embodiments, the first blank area is not smaller than the area of the semiconductor substrate occupied by a gate oxide layer located between a semiconductor drain area and a semiconductor source area in the single-finger MOS.
Based on the previous research on the multi-finger MOS device, it can be known that the substrate resistance Rsub corresponding to the single-finger MOS disposed in the central region of the semiconductor substrate in the multi-finger MOS device is the largest, and the resistance value of the substrate resistance corresponding to the single-finger MOS is smaller as the disposition position is farther from the central region. Therefore, in the disposition of the single-finger MOS included in the multi-finger MOS device, one or more single-finger MOSs disposed in the central region of the first substrate is removed, so that the substrate resistances corresponding to the disposed single-finger MOSs do not differ greatly, and therefore, the minimum first blank region can be a region which is left by removing an NPN junction or a PNP junction, and then, the minimum area of the first blank region can be the area occupied by the gate oxide layer in the single-finger MOS. When the single-finger MOS is removed, the area of the first blank area is larger than the area occupied by the gate oxide layer in the single-finger MOS. The specific number of the first blank areas is determined according to the actual chip design.
Based on the foregoing description of the single finger in the multi-finger MOS device, the single-finger MOS may refer to an NPN junction or a PNP junction formed between each pair of the source S and the drain D, and thus, in some embodiments, in order to deploy more single-finger MOSs, the plurality of single-finger MOSs and a part of the single-finger MOSs in each group of the single-finger MOSs share a semiconductor drain region and a drain metal or a semiconductor source region and a source metal.
For example, the layout of the multi-finger MOS device 100 as illustrated in fig. 1, wherein two single-finger MOS in the AA box share a semiconductor drain region and a drain metal; two single finger MOS in BB frame share semiconductor source region and source metal.
In some embodiments, for better improvement, as shown in fig. 2, a schematic structural diagram of another multi-finger MOS device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. In the multi-finger MOS device 100, the substrate contact frame 102 includes a plurality of sub-contact frames 1021; a group of single-finger MOS devices are arranged on the surface of the second substrate 1022 in the semiconductor substrate 101 in the space surrounded by each sub-contact frame 1021; the single-finger MOS in each group of the single-finger MOS is uniformly arranged on the surface of the second substrate 1022 around the second blank area 1023 of the corresponding surface of the second substrate; the second blank area 1023 is located in a central area of the second substrate surface.
The structure of the multi-finger MOS device described above can be understood as follows: the method comprises the steps of dividing a substrate contact frame 102 arranged on a semiconductor substrate 101 into a plurality of sub-contact frames 1021, uniformly arranging a group of single-finger MOS around a second blank area on the surface of a second substrate surrounded by each sub-contact frame 1021, namely, mixing the plurality of single-finger MOS arranged on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 101 into a plurality of groups, wherein each group of single-finger MOS is arranged on the part of the semiconductor substrate surrounded by the corresponding sub-contact frame, and the second blank area is reserved in the central area of each sub-contact frame, so that the substrate resistance corresponding to the single-finger MOS arranged on the semiconductor substrate is not greatly different, the single-finger MOS in the plurality of single-finger MOS can be uniformly turned on, and the possibility of burning out an ESD circuit when the multi-finger MOS device is used in the ESD circuit is reduced.
In some embodiments, there is no overlap region between the plurality of sub-contact frames.
In some embodiments, each of the plurality of sub-contact frames is connected to a low voltage pad for accessing a low voltage, wherein connection points of the sub-contact frames of the plurality of sub-contact frames to the low voltage pad are sequentially decreased from the sub-contact frame at a middle position to the sub-contact frame at an edge position.
It should be noted that the sub contact frames are independently arranged, and each sub contact frame is arranged between the sub contact framesThere is no overlap area between the frame edges of the contact frames. The connection point may be referred to as the block indicated at 104 in fig. 1. Since the parasitic resistance of the substrate contact frame 102 included in the multi-finger MOS device also affects its switching characteristics when the multi-finger MOS device is connected in operation in a circuit. The parasitic resistance is a part of the parasitic resistance of each one-finger MOS in the multi-finger MOS device (i.e., R described later) D1 +R S1 Or R D2 +R S2 Including the parasitic resistance of the substrate contact frame 102) whose magnitude is related to the distance between the high voltage pads or the low voltage pads and the number of connection points on the substrate contact frame 102. The farther from the high-voltage pad or the low-voltage pad, the greater the parasitic resistance; the greater the number of connection points on the substrate contact frame 102, the smaller the parasitic resistance that results from their parallel connection. Based on the characteristics, the substrate contact frame 102 is divided into a plurality of independent sub-contact frames, and the parasitic resistance corresponding to each sub-contact frame can be adjusted by adjusting the number of connection points on the sub-contact frames, so that each single-finger MOS in the multi-finger MOS device has a parasitic resistance with a similar size, and the multi-finger MOS device can improve the problem of uneven opening.
In some embodiments, the number of single-finger MOS groups corresponding to the sub-contact frames is equal to the number of single-finger MOS groups.
In order to make the multi-finger MOS devices in fig. 1 and fig. 2 identical, the total number of the sets of single-finger MOS including single-finger MOS corresponding to the sub-contact frames is equal to the number of the single-finger MOS included in the plurality of single-finger MOS. That is, if the multi-finger MOS devices in fig. 1 and fig. 2 are the same, the number of single-finger MOS devices used is the same, except that in fig. 1, a plurality of single-finger MOS devices are disposed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate in the same substrate contact frame; in fig. 2, after a plurality of single finger MOSs are divided into a plurality of groups, each group of single finger MOSs is disposed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate within one sub-contact frame.
In some embodiments, the second empty area is not smaller than the area of the semiconductor substrate occupied by a gate oxide layer located between the semiconductor drain region and the semiconductor source region in the single-finger MOS. It should be noted that the reason is as described above for the first blank area, and is not described herein again.
According to the multi-finger MOS device provided by the embodiment of the invention, a plurality of single-finger MOS contained in the MOS device are uniformly distributed on the substrate surrounding the central blank area of the substrate, so that the substrate resistance corresponding to each single-finger MOS in the single-finger MOS is balanced, and thus, the problem of uneven opening of the MOS device can be solved. In addition, the multi-finger MOS device provided by the embodiment of the invention can remove one or more single-finger MOS devices in the central region of the substrate through the existing multi-finger MOS device, and can also not arrange the single-finger MOS devices in the central region of the substrate during production, so that the multi-finger MOS device can be obtained in various and simple modes, and the multi-finger MOS device can be produced and used in large batch. The multi-finger MOS device provided by the embodiment of the invention can improve the problem of uneven opening, and only by changing the layout of the single-finger MOS contained in the multi-finger MOS device, no additional process or mask is needed.
Based on the foregoing inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an electrostatic clamp circuit, as shown in fig. 3, where the electrostatic clamp circuit 300 may include: a transient sub-circuit 303 connected in parallel between the power pin 301 and the ground pin 302 and coupled in sequence, and the multi-finger MOS device 100 as described in any of the foregoing, wherein the transient sub-circuit 303 is configured to send a driving signal with a voltage value smaller than that of the power supply to the multi-finger MOS device 100 when static electricity is detected; the multi-finger MOS device discharges the static electricity under the driving of the driving signal.
In some embodiments, the transient subcircuit 303 may include: a capacitor 3031 and a resistor 3032 which are connected in series between the power supply pin and the grounding pin; when the multi-finger MOS device is an N-type MOS, the drain electrode of the multi-finger MOS device is connected with the power pin, the source electrode of the multi-finger MOS device is connected with the grounding pin, and the grid electrode of the multi-finger MOS device is connected with the connection position of the capacitor and the resistor.
In fig. 3, the arrows indicate the driving signals. The electrostatic clamp 300 operates according to the following principle: when the voltage pin 301 is connected to static electricity, the RC trigger circuit composed of the capacitor 3031 and the resistor 3032 generates the driving signal and sends the driving signal to the gate of the multi-finger MOS device 100. Since the voltage value of the driving signal is smaller than the voltage value of the power supply but larger than the threshold voltage of the multi-finger MOS device, the multi-finger MOS device is turned on, and the multi-finger MOS device discharges the static electricity.
In practical applications, the single-finger MOS included in the multi-finger MOS device connected to the electrostatic clamp has parasitic resistance, as shown in fig. 4, which illustrates a schematic circuit connection diagram of the single-finger MOS included in the multi-finger MOS device in the electrostatic clamp according to the embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 4, rsub denotes the substrate resistance of the single finger MOS; r S Representing the parasitic resistance (or called wiring resistance) between the source terminal of the single-finger MOS to the low-voltage bonding pad; r D Representing the parasitic resistance between the drain terminal of the single finger MOS to the high voltage pad. In different layout modes, in the multi-finger MOS device, the parasitic resistance corresponding to each single-finger MOS is also different. Different parasitic resistances also affect the discharge capability of the multi-finger MOS device.
Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an integrated circuit, as shown in fig. 5, where the integrated circuit 500 may include:
a high voltage pad 501 for accessing a power supply voltage;
a low voltage pad 502 for accessing a ground voltage;
and the electrostatic clamp 300 of any of the preceding claims disposed between the high voltage pad 501 and the low voltage pad 502; the power pin 301 of the electrostatic clamp 300 is electrically connected to the high voltage pad 501, and the ground pin 502 is electrically connected to the low voltage pad 402.
It should be noted that the layout of the electrostatic clamp Circuit 300 between the high-voltage pad and the low-voltage pad may be understood as that the high-voltage pad and the low-voltage pad are on the left and right sides or the upper and lower sides of the electrostatic clamp Circuit 300, wherein the closer distance to the high-voltage pad or the lower distance to the low-voltage pad may be determined according to an actual Printed Circuit Board (PCB) of an integrated Circuit. The electrostatic clamping circuit is arranged between the high-voltage bonding pad and the low-voltage bonding pad no matter the bonding pad is close to the bonding pad, so that in a discharge path of the electrostatic clamping circuit, each single-finger MOS in the contained multi-finger MOS device has parasitic resistance with similar size, each single-finger MOS has uniform discharge current, and the problem of uneven starting of the multi-finger MOS device is further improved.
For example, as in fig. 5, single-finger MOS1 and single-finger MOS2 are two single-finger MOSs included in the multi-finger MOS device. After the electrostatic clamping circuit containing the multi-finger MOS device is arranged between the high-voltage bonding pad and the low-voltage bonding pad, the parasitic resistance R between the corresponding drain end of the single-finger MOS1 and the high-voltage bonding pad D1 Less than parasitic resistance R between the corresponding drain terminal of the single finger MOS2 and the high-voltage bonding pad D2 (ii) a And the single-finger MOS1 corresponds to the parasitic resistance R between the source terminal and the low-voltage bonding pad S1 Greater than parasitic resistance R between corresponding source terminal and low-voltage bonding pad of single-finger MOS2 S2 Overall, the total parasitic resistance corresponding to the single-finger MOS1 is R D1 +R S1 The total parasitic resistance corresponding to the single finger MOS2 is R D2 +R S2 Similarly, the discharge current of each single-finger MOS in the multi-finger MOS device is uniform during electrostatic discharge, so that the problem of uneven turn-on of the multi-finger MOS device is further improved.
Fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of a method for forming a multi-finger MOS device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 6, the forming method may include:
s601: forming a semiconductor substrate;
s602: forming a substrate contact frame on the surface of the semiconductor substrate;
s603: forming a plurality of single-finger MOS on the surface of a first substrate in the space surrounded by the substrate contact frame in the semiconductor substrate; the single-finger MOS surrounds a first blank area on the surface of the first substrate and is uniformly formed on the surface of the first substrate; the first blank area is located in the central area of the surface of the first substrate.
In some embodiments, the substrate contact frame formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate comprises a plurality of sub-contact frames; as shown in fig. 7, the forming method further includes:
s604: forming a group of single-finger MOS on the surface of the second substrate in the space surrounded by each sub-contact frame in the semiconductor substrate; the single-finger MOS in each group of the single-finger MOS surrounds the second blank area of the corresponding second substrate surface and is uniformly arranged on the second substrate surface; the second blank area is located in a central area of the surface of the second substrate.
It should be noted that the formation method described above is a multi-finger MOS device corresponding to the two structures. In practical application, there are two ways for forming the multi-finger MOS device with the above structure: one is to form the finally required multi-finger MOS device in steps S501 to S503 or in steps S501, S502, and S504 one by one based on a new semiconductor substrate; the other is based on the existing multi-finger MOS device, one or more single-finger MOS devices in the central area are removed to form the required multi-finger MOS device, or the multiple single-finger MOS devices contained in the multi-finger MOS device are divided into multiple groups of single-finger MOS devices, and then each group of single-finger MOS devices are framed by using independent sub contact frames to form the required multi-finger MOS device.
It should be understood that the above-mentioned forming method only describes the steps of the present invention that are mainly concerned, and other necessary steps, which have been described in detail in the foregoing structure description of the multi-finger MOS device, can be implemented in any realizable manner in the forming process, and are not described in detail herein.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a memory, as shown in fig. 8, where the memory 800 includes: a memory array 801 for storing data; and peripheral circuitry 802 coupled to and for controlling the memory array 801; wherein the peripheral circuitry 802 comprises the electrostatic clamp of any of the preceding claims; alternatively, the peripheral circuit comprises the integrated circuit described above.
It should be noted that the foregoing describes only the structure of the peripheral circuit 802 and the relevant portions of the embodiments of the present invention. In practice, for the memory array 801 to be a NAND flash memory array, the memory cells 806 are provided in the form of an array of NAND memory cell strings 808, each NAND memory cell string 808 extending vertically above a substrate (not shown). In some embodiments, each NAND memory cell string 808 includes a plurality of memory cells 806 coupled in series and vertically stacked. Each memory cell 806 may hold a continuous analog value, e.g., a voltage or charge, that depends on the number of electrons trapped within the storage region of the memory cell 806. Each memory cell 806 may be a floating gate type memory cell including a floating gate transistor or a charge trapping type memory cell including a charge trapping transistor.
In some embodiments, each memory Cell 806 is a Single Level Cell (SLC) having two possible memory states and therefore can store one bit of data, e.g., a first memory state "0" may correspond to a first voltage range and a second memory state "1" may correspond to a second voltage range. In some embodiments, each memory Cell 806 is a Multi-Level Cell (MLC) capable of storing data for a single bit in a plurality of four memory states, e.g., an MLC may store two bits per Cell, three bits per Cell (also referred to as a triple Level Cell), or four bits per Cell (also referred to as a quad Level Cell).
As shown in fig. 8, each NAND memory cell string 808 can include a Source Select Gate (SSG) 810 at its source end and a Drain Select Gate (DSG) 812 at its drain end. The SSGs 810 and 812 may be configured to activate selected NAND memory cell strings 808 (columns of the array) during read and program (or write) operations. In some embodiments, the sources of NAND memory cell strings 808 in the same block 804 are coupled by the same Source Line (SL) 814 (e.g., a common SL). In other words, according to some embodiments, all of the NAND memory cell strings 808 in the same block 804 have an Array Common Source (ACS). According to some embodiments, the DSG812 of each NAND memory cell string 808 is coupled to a respective bit line 816, and data can be read from and written to the bit line 816 via an output bus (not shown). In some embodiments, each NAND memory cell string 808 is configured to be selected or deselected by applying a select voltage (e.g., above the threshold voltage of the transistor having the DSG 812) or a deselect voltage (e.g., 0 volts (V)) to the corresponding DSG812 via one or more DSG lines 813 and/or applying a select voltage (e.g., above the threshold voltage of the transistor having the SSG 810) or a deselect voltage (e.g., 0V) to the corresponding SSG810 via one or more SSG lines 815.
As shown in fig. 8, the NAND memory cell strings 808 may be organized into a plurality of blocks 804, each of the plurality of blocks 804 may have a common source line 814 (e.g., coupled to ground). In some embodiments, each block 804 is the basic unit of data with an erase operation, i.e., all storage cells 806 on the same block 804 are erased at the same time. To erase memory cells 806 in a selected block 804, a source line 814 coupled to the selected block 804 and to unselected blocks 804 in the same Plane (Plane) as the selected block 804 may be biased with an erase voltage (Vers), such as a high positive voltage of 20V or higher. It should be appreciated that in some examples, erase operations may be performed at a half block level, at a quarter block level, or at any suitable fraction of any suitable number of blocks or blocks. The memory cells 806 of the adjacent NAND memory cell strings 808 may be coupled by word lines 818, the word lines 818 selecting which row of memory cells 806 receive the read and program operations. In some embodiments, the memory cells 806 coupled to the same wordline 818 are referred to as a page 820. The page 820 is the basic unit of data for a program operation or a read operation, and the size of a page 820 in bits can be related to the number of NAND memory cell strings 808 coupled by word lines 818 in one block 804. Each word line 818 may include a plurality of control gates (gate electrodes) at each memory cell 806 in a respective page 820 and a gate line coupling the control gates.
The organization of the memory array 801 within the memory is shown in FIG. 9. The storage array 801 may be divided into several DIEs (or LUNs), each DIE having several planes (planes), each Plane having several blocks (blocks), each Block having several pages (pages), each Page corresponding to a word line (word), which connects thousands of storage units 806. Wherein the DIE/LUN is a basic unit for receiving and executing the operation command. As shown in FIG. 9, LUN0 and LUN1 can receive and execute different commands simultaneously (but still with certain limitations, different flash limitations of different vendors). However, in one LUN, only one command can be executed independently at a time, and it is impossible to perform read access to another Page while writing to one of the pages. A LUN is subdivided into several planes, 1 or 2 planes are common in the market, there are also flash memories of 4 planes, there are also flash memories of more than 4 planes, for example, flash memories containing 6 planes. It should be understood that how many planes a LUN includes may be more as technology evolves, and the invention is not limited. Each Plane has its own independent Cache buffer (Cache Register) and Page buffer (Page Register) that is equal in size to one Page. When a certain Page is written by a memory controller coupled with a memory, data is transmitted from the memory controller to a Cache Register of a Plane corresponding to the Page, and then the data in the whole Cache Register is written into a storage unit; in the reverse case, the data of the Page is read from the storage unit to the Cache Register and then transmitted to the memory controller as required. When reading data, the on-demand is that the data of the whole Page is not necessarily transmitted to the memory controller, and the data transmission is selected according to the demand. It should be kept in mind, however, that the unit of Page is used whether to read data from a memory cell to a Cache Register or to write data from a Cache Register to a memory cell. This is merely an exemplary description and is not intended to limit the present application.
FIG. 10 illustrates a side view of a cross section of an exemplary memory array 801 including NAND memory cell strings 808 in accordance with some aspects of the present invention. As shown in fig. 10, NAND memory cell strings 808 may extend vertically through the memory stack layers 1002 above the substrate 1001. Substrate 1001 may include silicon (e.g., single crystal silicon), silicon germanium (SiGe), gallium arsenide (GaAs), germanium (Ge), silicon-on-insulator (SOI), germanium-on-insulator (GOI), or any other suitable material.
As shown in fig. 10, NAND memory cell string 808 includes a channel structure 1005 extending vertically through memory stack layers 1002. In some embodiments, the channel structure 1005 includes a channel hole filled with semiconductor material(s) and dielectric material(s). In some embodiments, the semiconductor channel comprises silicon, e.g., polysilicon. In some embodiments, the memory film is a composite dielectric layer that includes a tunneling layer, a storage layer (also referred to as a "charge trapping/storage layer"), and a blocking layer. The channel structure 1005 may have a cylindrical shape (e.g., a pillar shape). According to some embodiments, the semiconductor channel, the tunneling layer, the storage layer, and the blocking layer are radially disposed in this order from a center of the pillar toward an outer surface of the pillar. The tunneling layer may include silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, or any combination thereof. The memory layer may include silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or any combination thereof. The barrier layer may include silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, a high dielectric constant (high-k) dielectric, or any combination thereof. In one example, the memory film may include a composite layer of silicon oxide/silicon oxynitride/silicon oxide (ONO).
Referring back to FIG. 8, peripheral circuitry 802 may be coupled to memory array 801 by bit lines 816, word lines 818, source lines 814, SSG lines 815, and DSG lines 813. Peripheral circuitry 802 may include any suitable analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuitry for facilitating operation of memory array 801 by applying voltage and/or current signals to and sensing voltage and/or current signals from each target memory cell 806 via bit line 816, word line 818, source line 814, SSG line 815, and DSG line 813. The peripheral circuitry 802 may include various types of peripheral circuitry formed using metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) technology. For example, fig. 11 shows some exemplary peripheral circuits, the peripheral circuits 802 including page buffers/sense amplifiers 1104, column decoders/bit line drivers 1106, row decoders/word line drivers 1108, voltage generators 1110, control logic unit 1112, registers 1114, interfaces 1116, and a data bus 1118. It should be understood that additional peripheral circuitry not shown in fig. 11 may also be included in some examples.
The page buffer/sense amplifier 1104 may be configured to read data from the memory array 801 and program (write) data to the memory array 801 according to control signals from the control logic unit 1112. In one example, the page buffer/sense amplifier 1104 may store a page of program data (write data) to be programmed into one page 820 of the memory array 801. In another example, the page buffer/sense amplifier 1104 may perform a program verify operation to ensure that data has been properly programmed into the memory cells 806 coupled to the selected word line 818. In yet another example, the page buffer/sense amplifier 1104 may also sense low-power signals from the bit line 816 that represent data bits stored in the memory cells 806 and amplify the small voltage swing to recognizable logic levels in a read operation. The column decoder/bit line driver 1106 may be configured to be controlled by the control logic unit 1112 and select one or more NAND memory cell strings 808 by applying a bit line voltage generated from the voltage generator 1110.
The row decoder/word line drivers 1108 may be configured to be controlled by the control logic unit 1112 and to select/deselect the blocks 804 of the memory array 801 and to select/deselect the word lines 818 of the blocks 804. The row decoder/wordline driver 1108 may also be configured to drive the wordline 818 using the wordline voltage generated from the voltage generator 1110. In some embodiments, row decoder/word line driver 1108 may also select/deselect and drive SSG lines 815 and DSG lines 813. As described in detail below, the row decoder/wordline driver 1108 is configured to perform an erase operation on the memory cells 806 coupled to the selected wordline 818(s). The voltage generator 1110 may be configured to be controlled by the control logic unit 1112 and to generate a word line voltage (e.g., a read voltage, a program voltage, a pass voltage, a local voltage, a verify voltage, etc.), a bit line voltage, and a source line voltage to be supplied to the memory array 801.
The control logic unit 1112 may be coupled to each of the peripheral circuits described above and configured to control the operation of each of the peripheral circuits. The registers 1114 may be coupled to the control logic unit 1112 and include status, command, and address registers for storing status information, command operation codes (OP codes), and command addresses for controlling the operation of each peripheral circuit. Interface 1116 may be coupled to control logic unit 1112 and act as a control buffer to buffer and relay control commands received from a host (not shown) to control logic unit 1112 and to buffer and relay status information received from control logic unit 1112 to the host. The interface 1116 may also be coupled to a column decoder/bit line driver 1106 via a data bus 1118, and acts as a data I/O interface and data buffer to buffer data and relay it to or from the memory array 801.

The memory controller 1201 and the one or more memories 800 may be integrated into various types of storage devices, for example, included in the same package (e.g., a Universal Flash Storage (UFS) package or an eMMC package). That is, the storage system 1200 may be implemented and packaged into different types of end electronic products. In one example as shown in FIG. 14, a memory controller 1201 and a single memory 800 may be integrated into a memory card 1402. The memory card may include a PC card (PCMCIA), a CF card, a Smart Media (SM) card, a memory stick, a multimedia card (MMC, RS-MMC, MMCmicro), an SD card (SD, miniSD, microSD, SDHC), a UFS, and the like. The memory card may also include a memory card connector 1404 that couples the memory card with a host (e.g., host 1308 in FIG. 13). In another example as shown in fig. 15, memory controller 1201 and plurality of memories 800 may be integrated into SSD 1502. The SSD may also include an SSD connector 1504 to couple the SSD with a host (e.g., host 1308 in fig. 15). In some embodiments, the storage capacity and/or operating speed of the SSD is greater than the storage capacity and/or operating speed of the memory card. In addition, the memory controller 1201 may also be configured to control erase, read, and write operations of the memory 800.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
