Abstract
【解決手段】各々のドレイン領域を有する一対のアクセストランジスタと、ビットラインに第1電極を通じて電気的に連結され、前記ドレイン領域に一対の第2電極を通じて電気的に連結され、前記アクセストランジスタに共有される相変換物質膜とを含む。
【選択図】図7
Description
図7は、図5のセル等価回路による標準セルTCの平面レイアウト構造の第1実施形態を示しており、図6の点線領域に該当する。すなわち、図7は、ビットラインBL0とワードラインWL0及びWL1に連結された標準セルの領域に該当する。また、図8A及び図8Bは、図7の切断線A−A'(Y軸の方向)及び切断線B−B'(X軸の方向)による断面構造を各々示し、以下の説明で、図7とともに参照される。図7、図8A及び図8Bにおいて、ビットラインはY軸の方向に伸び、ワードラインはX軸の方向に伸びる。
図7、図8A及び図8Bに示した第1実施形態では、X軸の方向(すなわち、ワードライン方向)に沿って下部電極BEC0及びBEC1が形成されているが、これとは異なって、これらの各々の独立的な下部電極の形成位置は図9及び図10に示したように、Y軸の方向(すなわち、ビットライン方向)に沿って、ビットラインコンタクトBC01を隔てて形成することができる。
一方、図7または図9に示した実施形態では、標準セルTCの領域(図6の点線部分)内でドレイン領域が共有され、それによって、相変換物質膜のパターンを共有することになっているが、標準セルは、図11に示したように、相変換物質膜を共有し、また接地ラインを共有する形式で設計されることができる。
図14は、図5に示した標準セル(または図6の点線領域)がソース領域と接地ラインとを共有する構造における他の実施形態として、レイアウト設計の便宜と効率を向上させてより高密度化したメモリセルアレイ構造を示している。
図17は、図5に示した標準セル(または図6の点線の領域)がソース領域と接地ラインとを共有する構造に関する他の実施形態として、図14のレイアウトパターンにおける活性領域と相変換物質膜のパターンを変形して標準セルの構造を設計したものである。上述の実施形態が志向したように、設計の便宜と効率を向上させて、より高密度のメモリセルアレイ構造を提供するためである。
