Description

記憶體器件介面方法、裝置及系統
本發明係關於記憶體器件介面方法、裝置及系統。
諸如個人電腦、工作站、電腦伺服器、主機及包括印表機、掃描器及硬碟驅動機之其他電腦相關設備之許多電子器件使用提供大資料儲存能力之記憶體器件,且同時嘗試獲得低功率消耗。適用於前述器件中之一類型之記憶體器件為動態隨機存取記憶體(DRAM)。
對較大容量DRAM之需求繼續上升且同時晶片尺寸限制約束DRAM器件之容量。為增加DRAM器件之記憶容量,已穩定地減少由個別記憶體單元之組件佔據之表面面積,使得半導體基板上之記憶體單元之裝填密度可增加。縮小器件表面面積可導致減少之製造良率,並且增加用於連接DRAM器件內之眾多記憶庫與其他器件的互連技術之複雜性。
方法、裝置及系統已揭示增大給定水平空間內記憶體容量之記憶體器件連接方案。各種實施例包括基板、安置於基板上之介面晶片、安置於介面晶片上具有複數個記憶體陣列之第一記憶體晶粒,其中第一記憶體晶粒耦接至複數個貫穿晶圓互連(TWI)。各種實施例包括安置於第一記憶體晶粒上具有複數個記憶體陣列之第二記憶體晶粒,第二記憶體晶粒包括複數個通道,其中複數個通道經組態以允 許複數個TWI穿過第二記憶體晶粒。第二記憶體晶粒又可耦接至第二複數個TWI,且介面晶片可用於使用第一及第二複數個TWI通信地耦接第一記憶體晶粒與第二記憶體晶粒。
一或多個實施例提供用於互連記憶體器件之改良之機制。此外,本文描述之各種實施例可改良記憶體器件內一些記憶體陣列之密度,且因此減小記憶體器件之尺寸。
下文參看以下圖式詳細描述本發明之各種實施例。
可藉由減小記憶體單元組件之水平特徵尺寸來達成表面面積減小及因此的記憶體裝填密度之增大。此可藉由形成實質上係三維之記憶體單元組件而在各種實施例中達成,以使得記憶體單元組件除大體延伸越過基板之表面之外,垂直地延伸進入基板中且在基板上方延伸。

在一些實施例中,記憶體器件110至140可包含快閃記憶體器件。在一些實施例中,在記憶體器件110至140中之記憶體陣列內之記憶體單元可包括以NAND快閃記憶體排列排列之快閃記憶體單元。在一些實施例中,在記憶體器件110至140中之記憶體陣列內之記憶體單元可包括以NOR快閃記憶體排列排列之快閃記憶體單元。一般熟習此項技術者將易於認識到,記憶體器件100可包括為更加清晰地集中於本文描述之各種實施例而自圖1省略之其他部分。
