Abstract
Description
. 本發明涉及記憶體的技術領域。具體而言,本發明涉及一種記憶體的製造方法及電容器。. The present invention relates to the technical field of memory. Specifically, the present invention relates to a manufacturing method of a memory and a capacitor.
. 鐵電記憶體是一種以特殊製程製成的非易失性的記憶體。當電場被施加到鐵電晶體時,中心原子順著電場停在第一低能量狀態位置,而當電場反轉被施加到同一鐵電晶體時,中心原子順著電場的方向在晶體裡移動並停在第二低能量狀態。大量中心原子在晶體單胞中移動耦合形成鐵電疇,鐵電疇在電場作用下形成極化電荷。鐵電疇在電場下反轉所形成的極化電荷較高,鐵電疇在電場下無反轉所形成的極化電荷較低,這種鐵電材料的二元穩定狀態使得鐵電可以作為記憶體。. Ferroelectric memory is a non-volatile memory made with a special process. When an electric field is applied to a ferroelectric crystal, the central atom stops in the first low-energy state position along the electric field, and when an electric field reversal is applied to the same ferroelectric crystal, the central atom moves in the crystal along the direction of the electric field and Stop in the second lowest energy state. A large number of central atoms move and couple in the crystal unit cell to form ferroelectric domains, and the ferroelectric domains form polarized charges under the action of an electric field. The polarization charge formed by the ferroelectric domain reversal under the electric field is higher, and the polarization charge formed by the ferroelectric domain without reversal under the electric field is lower. The binary stable state of this ferroelectric material makes ferroelectricity can be used as Memory.
. 當移去電場後,中心原子處於低能量狀態保持不動,記憶體的狀態也得以保存不會消失,因此可利用鐵電疇在電場下反轉形成高極化電荷,或無反轉形成低極化電荷來判別記憶單元是在“1”或“0”狀態。鐵電疇的反轉不需要高電場,僅用一般的工作電壓就可以改變記憶單元是在“1”或“0”的狀態;也不需要電荷泵來產生高電壓數據擦除,因而沒有擦寫延遲的現象。這種特性使鐵電記憶體在掉電後仍能夠繼續保存數據,寫入速度快且具有無限次寫入壽命,不容易寫壞。並且,與現有的非易失性內存技術比較,鐵電記憶體具有更高的寫入速度和更長的讀寫壽命。. When the electric field is removed, the central atom stays in a low-energy state and remains unchanged, and the state of the memory is preserved and will not disappear. Therefore, the ferroelectric domain can be used to reverse under the electric field to form a high polarization charge, or without reversal to form a low Polarization charges are used to determine whether the memory cell is in the "1" or "0" state. The inversion of ferroelectric domain does not require high electric field, only general working voltage can change the state of memory cell is "1" or "0"; it also does not need charge pump to generate high voltage data erasing, so there is no erasing write delay phenomenon. This feature enables the ferroelectric memory to continue to save data after power failure, has a fast writing speed and has an unlimited writing life, and is not easy to write to damage. Moreover, compared with the existing non-volatile memory technology, the ferroelectric memory has a higher write speed and a longer read and write life.
