Description
(1) 基本例
図1乃至図10を用いて、本実施形態に係る半導体装置について、説明する。本実施形態において、半導体装置として、抵抗変化メモリを例に挙げて説明する。
1つのセルユニットにおいて、メモリ素子と整流素子との接続関係は、メモリ素子と整流素子の位置関係が2通り、整流素子の向きが2通りで、合計4通り存在する。したがって、2つのメモリセルアレイ内のセルユニットに関して、メモリ素子と整流素子の接続関係のパターンは、16通り(4通り×4通り)存在する。図4のa〜pは、この16通りの接続関係を表している。本実施形態は、これら16通りの接続関係の全てに対して適用可能である。
・ 量子状態の相変化(金属-超伝導体転移など)
・ 常磁性体-強磁性体転移、反強磁性体-強磁性体転移、強磁性体-強磁性体転移、フェリ磁性体-強磁性体転移、これらの転移の組み合わせからなる転移
・ 常誘電体-強誘電体転移、常誘電体-焦電体転移、常誘電体-圧電体転移、強誘電体-強誘電体転移、反強誘電体-強誘電体転移、これらの転移の組み合わせからなる転移
・ 以上の転移の組み合わせからなる転移
例えば、金属、絶縁体、半導体、強誘電体、常誘電体、焦電体、圧電体、強磁性体、フェリ磁性体、螺旋磁性体、常磁性体又は反強磁性体から、強誘電強磁性体への転移、及び、その逆の転移
この定義によれば、可変抵抗素子は、相変化素子を含む。
配線40及び配線50は、層間絶縁膜81,82,83の積層方向(第3方向)において、上下に重なるように、それぞれ異なる配線レベルに設けられている。
コンタクト電極60の下部電極部62と開口部49(リング部48)の側面との接触面積は、開口部49の側面の面積(Z1×(2×X1+2×Y1))に相当する。
それゆえ、コンタクト部41とコンタクト電極60との接触面積S1は、次の(式1)によって求められる。
S1=(Xce×Yce−X1×Y1)+Z1×(2×X1+2×Y1)・・・(式1)
コンタクト電極60の下部電極部62は、開口部49を貫通して、配線40より下層の配線50に接触する。下部電極部62の上面の寸法は、例えば、開口部49の寸法X1,Y1と実質的に同じである。
S2=X2×Y2 ・・・(式2)
尚、上部電極部61の第3方向の寸法Zceが大きくなると、コンタクト電極60の上部電極部61底面の寸法Xa,Yaは、上部電極部61の上面Xce,Xceより小さくなる傾向がある。また、開口部49を介して、コンタクトホールが形成されるため、開口部49の寸法X1,Y1は、下部電極部62の底面の寸法X2,Y2とほぼ等しくなる。但し、上部電極部61の底面の寸法Xa,Yaと上部電極部61の上面の寸法Xce,Yceとの関係と同様に、下部電極部62の第3方向の寸法(高さ)H2の大きさに応じて、コンタクト電極60の下部電極部62の底面の寸法X2,Y2は、下部電極部62の上面の寸法X1,Y1よりも小さくなる傾向がある。
コンタクト電極60は開口部49を貫通して配線50に達するため、コンタクト電極60の下部電極部62の底面の寸法X2,Y2は、開口部49の寸法X1,Y1に依存する。
コンタクト部41を所定の面積にする場合において、開口部49の面積(寸法X1,Y1)及びリング部48の線幅RWの大きさは、調整できる。
例えば、リング状のコンタクト部41において、リング部48の線幅RWが大きくなると、コンタクト電極60と配線40に設けられたコンタクト部41とのアライメントのずれに対するマージンを大きくできる。
また、リング部48の線幅RWが大きくなると、上部電極部61の寸法Xce,Yceを大きくすることができ、コンタクト電極60の上部電極部61とコンタクト部41との接触面積を大きくできる。
図11乃至図19を用いて、本実施形態の具体例について、ReRAM(Resistive RAM)やPCRAM(Phase Change RAM)などの抵抗変化メモリを例に挙げて、説明する。
図11乃至図13を用いて、本実施形態の具体例の抵抗変化メモリの構造について、説明する。尚、図11及び図13において、図の手前方向及び奥行き方向の部材については、破線で示している。
図14A乃至図19を用いて、本実施形態の半導体装置の製造方法の一例として、本実施形態の具体例としての抵抗変化メモリの製造方法を例に挙げて、説明する。
尚、芯材91と積層体100B’との間に、マスクパターンが転写されることによって実質的なマスクとなる層(転写層)が設けられてもよい。
このように、異なる配線レベルの配線にそれぞれ設けられるコンタクト部に対しても、第3方向から見て第2方向(又は、第1方向)に互い隣接する配線において、リング状のコンタクト部が平面内に互い違いにレイアウトされるようにマスクパターンが形成されることによって、リング状のコンタクト部が設けられる配線領域15の占有面積を小さくできる。
比較例として、図16Aにおいて、レジスト95Aを形成せずにリング状のコンタクト部の一部分が分断されている場合を考える。その比較例において、コンタクト電極60A,60Bとコンタクト部41A,41Bとが第2方向にアライメントのずれを起こした場合、それらがアライメントのずれを起こさない場合に比較して、コンタクト電極60A,60Bとコンタクト部41A,41Bとの接触面積が変化してしまう。その結果として、コンタクト電極60A,60Bと配線40A,40Bとの接触抵抗が変化する。
図20乃至図23を用いて、本実施形態に係る半導体装置(例えば、抵抗変化メモリ)の変形例について、説明する。
本実施形態に係る半導体装置は、ReRAMやPCRAMなどの抵抗変化メモリに適用できる。
