- the nonvolatile memory cell 10 includes a columnar electrode 12, an interlayer insulating film 16, a resistance change layer 14, a first conductive layer 13, a semiconductor layer 17, and a second conductive layer 18. It is configured.
- a first resistance change layer 13a, a second resistance change layer 13b, and an insulating layer 13c are formed on a part of the first conductive layer 13.
- the resistance change layer 14 includes a first resistance change layer 13a and a second resistance change layer 13b.
- Insulating layers 17 a, 17 b, 18 a, and 18 b are formed on part of the semiconductor layer 17 and the second conductive layer 18.
- the interlayer insulating film 16 is formed in parallel with the main surface (not shown) of the substrate, the first conductive layer 13 is disposed in contact with the interlayer insulating film 16 in the stacking direction, and the first conductive layer 13 is stacked in the stacking direction.
- the semiconductor layer 17 is disposed in contact with the semiconductor layer 17, and the second conductive layer 18 is disposed in contact with the semiconductor layer 17 in the stacking direction.
- the first conductive layer 13, the semiconductor layer 17, and the second conductive layer 18 may be stacked in the order shown in FIGS. 1A and 1C, or may be stacked in the reverse order.
- the columnar electrode 12, the resistance change layer 14, and the first conductive layer 13 constitute a resistance change element 15 in a direction parallel to the main surface of the substrate.
- the first conductive layer 13, the semiconductor layer 17, and the second conductive layer 18 shows an MSM (Metal-Semiconductor-Metal) type diode element 19 having a bidirectional rectifying characteristic in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the substrate, and the resistance change as shown in the equivalent circuit diagram of FIG. 1B
- a nonvolatile memory cell 10 is configured in which the element 15 and the diode element 19 are connected in series.
- the columnar electrode 12 and the second conductive layer 18 are drawn as wirings.
- the resistance change layer 14 is configured to be interposed between the columnar electrode 12 and the first conductive layer 13. Further, the resistance change layer 14 has a characteristic of changing to two or more states having different resistance values based on application of an electrical signal, and can be selectively changed from one state to another state. . Therefore, in the nonvolatile memory cell 10, the resistance value between the columnar electrode 12 and the first conductive layer 13 is selectively applied by applying a drive voltage or drive current between the columnar electrode 12 and the first conductive layer 13. Can be changed.
- the resistance change layer 14 has two states, a high resistance state with a relatively high electrical resistance value and a low resistance state with a low electrical resistance value.
- the nonvolatile memory cell 10 changes from a high resistance state to a low resistance state or from a low resistance state to a high resistance state by application of a driving voltage or driving current equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold.
- the resistance change layer 14 can be made of an oxygen-deficient metal oxide.
- the base metal of the metal oxide is preferably a transition metal such as tantalum (Ta), hafnium (Hf), titanium (Ti), tungsten (W), nickel (Ni), or iron (Fe).
- the oxygen-deficient metal oxide refers to a metal oxide having a lower oxygen content than the composition of a metal oxide having a stoichiometric composition (usually an insulator), and usually has a semiconducting behavior. There are many things to do.
- the oxygen-deficient oxide of the base metal exemplified above for the resistance change layer 14 the resistance change between the two resistance values can be stably operated with good reproducibility.
- the oxygen content of the resistance change layer 14 decreases from the interface between the resistance change layer 14 and the columnar electrode 12 toward the first conductive layer 13.
- the resistance change layer 14 can be formed so that the oxygen content of the resistance change layer 14 continuously decreases as the distance from the columnar electrode 12 increases. This is because in the oxidation process, the amount of oxygen that enters the first conductive layer 13 decreases as the distance from the contact hole increases.
- the layer having a relatively high oxygen content is the first resistance change layer 13a
- the layer having a relatively low oxygen content is the second resistance change layer 13b.
- the laminated structure is not clearly shown as shown in FIG. 1A. However, since it is important that the oxygen content in the region of the first resistance change layer 13a is larger than that of the second resistance change layer 13b, a laminated structure is illustrated for the sake of clarity.
- the oxidation treatment step is performed twice under different conditions, and the difference between the oxygen content of the first resistance change layer 13a and the oxygen content of the second resistance change layer 13b can be more clearly formed.
- the first resistance change layer 13a is applied with a positive drive voltage or drive current (current flows in the direction from the first resistance change layer 13a to the second resistance change layer 13b). It is presumed that oxygen ions are received from this and increase in resistance. On the contrary, it is presumed that, by applying a negative drive voltage or drive current, the first resistance change layer 13a diffuses the received oxygen ions into the second resistance change layer 13b, thereby reducing the resistance.
- the resistance change layer 14 is not limited to two layers. In order to develop a resistance change phenomenon in the single resistance change layer 14, a forming process (positive or negative voltage applied to the resistance change layer 14, a voltage higher than the voltage applied during normal operation is applied once to the resistance change layer 14. Alternatively, the step of electrically forming a layer having a large oxygen content in the vicinity of the interface to which a positive voltage is applied may be performed multiple times.
- the first conductive layer 13 may use an oxygen-deficient metal oxide having a low oxygen content (for example, a specific resistance of 10 m ⁇ ⁇ cm or less) or a metal not containing oxygen.
- a low oxygen content for example, a specific resistance of 10 m ⁇ ⁇ cm or less
- a metal not containing oxygen for example, a specific resistance of 10 m ⁇ ⁇ cm or less
- the variable resistance layer 14 can be easily formed from the first conductive layer 13.
- the resistance of the first conductive layer 13 is lowered, and there is an advantage that power consumption can be reduced.
- the semiconductor layer 17 is made of SiN y, for example.
- SiN y is so-called silicon nitride.
- the value of y indicates the degree of nitridation (composition ratio), and the electric conduction characteristics of SiN y vary greatly depending on the value of y.
- the semiconductor layer 17 may use amorphous Si or another semiconductor material.
- the first conductive layer 13 and the second conductive layer 18 are materials that contact the semiconductor layer 17 to form a Schottky junction, respectively.
- the first conductive layer 13, the semiconductor layer 17, and the second conductive layer 18 constitutes an MSM diode.
- the second conductive layer 18 may be made of TiN, TaN, or the like.
- an MSM diode composed of TaO x for the first conductive layer 13, SiN y for the semiconductor layer 17, and TaN for the second conductive layer 18 has bidirectional rectification characteristics with respect to the applied voltage, and breaks. While providing a current suppressing element with a large down current, a highly reliable nonvolatile memory element and nonvolatile memory device in which the diode element and the resistance change element are combined can be easily produced.
- the variable resistance layer 14 includes a first conductive layer 13, a semiconductor layer 17, and a second conductive layer 18 that are stacked in this order on the interlayer insulating film 16, and the first conductive layer 13, the semiconductor layer 17, and the second conductive layer are stacked.
- the contact hole is formed by forming a contact hole penetrating through the stacked body formed of the layer 18 and the interlayer insulating film 16 in the stacking direction, and then oxidizing part of the first conductive layer 13 exposed in the contact hole.
- the process of embedding the material in the contact hole is only the process of embedding the columnar electrode 12, and the process can be simplified. Further, by forming the resistance change layer 14 by oxidation treatment, there is an advantage that it is easy to control the film thickness of the resistance change layer 14.
- the first conductive layer 13 is oxidized, a part of the SiN y layer of the semiconductor layer 17 exposed in the contact hole is also oxidized, and an insulating layer 17a made of SiO 2 is formed on the surface, so that the semiconductor layer 17 and the columnar electrode 12 are insulated, and portions of TaN, TiN, etc. of the second conductive layer 18 exposed in the contact holes are simultaneously oxidized, and an insulating layer 18a composed of TaON, TiON, etc. is formed.
- the second conductive layer 18 and the columnar electrode 12 are insulated from each other.
- the columnar electrode 12 is a material having excellent conductivity (for example, a specific resistance of 10 m ⁇ ⁇ cm or less), and the standard electrode potential of the main metal material of the columnar electrode 12 is the standard electrode potential of the metal constituting the resistance change layer 14. What is necessary is just to comprise with a higher material.
- the material of the columnar electrode 12 with respect to the above-described variable resistance material platinum (Pt), iridium (Ir), palladium (Pd), copper (Cu), tungsten (W) (however, the variable resistance layer Is a tungsten oxide).
- the columnar electrode 12 may have a structure in which a thin film is formed of the above-exemplified material on the outer peripheral surface of a conductor made of tungsten (W) or the like.
- the reason why it is desirable that the standard electrode potential of the metal used for the columnar electrode 12 be higher than the standard electrode potential of the metal used for the first conductive layer 13 and the resistance change layer 14 is that the columnar electrode 12 is more than the resistance change layer 14. Since it becomes difficult to oxidize, the oxidation-reduction reaction of the resistance change layer 14 in the vicinity of the interface with the columnar electrode 12 mainly occurs, and the resistance change phenomenon is stabilized by changing the oxygen content of the first resistance change layer 13a. It is to do.
- the resistance change layer 14 is formed in one oxidation step, and at the same time, the semiconductor layer 17 and the second conductive layer 18 are electrically connected from the columnar electrode 12 respectively. Since the insulating film for separation is formed, the manufacturing process can be simplified. In addition, the uniformity of the thickness of the resistance change layer can be easily controlled, and the reliability of the nonvolatile memory cell array is improved.
- FIG. 1D is a configuration diagram showing an example of a nonvolatile memory cell 30 according to a modification of the first embodiment of the present invention.
- the nonvolatile memory cell 30 includes the resistance change element 15 included in the nonvolatile memory cell 10 of FIG. 1C by a first resistance change layer 31 and a second resistance change layer 32.
- the variable resistance layer 35 is replaced with a variable resistance element 35 using the variable resistance layer 34.
- the columnar electrode 12, the resistance change layer 34, and the first conductive layer 13 constitute a resistance change element 35 in a direction parallel to the main surface of the substrate, and the first conductive layer 13, the semiconductor layer 17.
- the second conductive layer 18 constitutes an MSM type diode element 19 having bidirectional rectification characteristics in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the substrate.
- the nonvolatile memory cell 30 includes a variable resistance layer 34 provided between the columnar electrode 12 and the first conductive layer 13 and a variable resistance element 35 configured in a direction parallel to the main surface of the substrate.
- the device 19 has a feature common to the nonvolatile memory cell 10 in that the element 19 is formed in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the substrate. Due to this common feature, the nonvolatile memory cell 30 and the nonvolatile memory cell 10 have the following advantages.
- the resistance values of the resistance change elements 15 and 35 change when the filaments (conductive paths) in the resistance change layers 14 and 34 change. Therefore, the higher the voltage or current density applied to the resistance change layers 14 and 34, the easier the resistance change occurs. Therefore, the area of the resistance change elements 15 and 35 is desirably small.
- the area refers to the area of a plane perpendicular to the voltage application direction.
- the diode element 19 preferably has a large current capacity in order to pass a large current (for example, 10000 A / cm 2 or more) through the resistance change elements 15 and 35. Since the size of the current capacity of the diode increases depending on the size of the junction area of the diode, the area of the diode element 19 is desirably large.
- the resistance change elements 15 and 35 are different in voltage application direction from the diode elements 19, so that the resistance change elements On the other hand, the area of the diode element 19 can be increased. Further, since the areas of the resistance change elements 15 and 35 are defined by the film thickness of the first conductive layer 13 that is horizontally laminated with respect to the main surface of the substrate, the areas of the resistance change elements 15 and 35 are reduced to, for example, the minimum processing It can also be below the dimension.
- the non-volatile memory cell 30 is formed such that the first resistance change layer 31 is in contact with and covers the side surface of the columnar electrode 12, and the second resistance change layer 32 is the first resistance change layer 32.
- the nonvolatile memory cell 10 is different from the nonvolatile memory cell 10 in that it is formed only at the intersection between the resistance change layer 31 and the first conductive layer 13.
- a contact hole for embedding the columnar electrode 12 is formed according to the same manufacturing process as the nonvolatile memory cell 10, and then the first resistance change layer 31 and the columnar electrode 12 are formed in the contact hole. It can be manufactured by embedding in this order.
- the step of embedding a material in the contact hole becomes two steps of embedding the first variable resistance layer 31 and the columnar electrode 12, and the step of forming the first variable resistance layer 31 and the second variable resistance layer 32 are formed.
- the process of performing can be made independent.
- the first resistance change layer 31 is replaced with the first resistance change layer 31 in place of the simplification of the manufacturing process and the ease of control of the film thickness of the resistance change layer 34 compared with the nonvolatile memory cell 10.
- the advantage that the freedom degree of material selection of the 2nd resistance change layer 32 increases is acquired.
- a combination of the first resistance change layer 31 and the second resistance change layer can be freely selected according to desired resistance change characteristics, oxidation characteristics, and the like.
- at least one material selected from high-resistance titanium oxide (for example, TiO 2 ), hafnium oxide (HfO y ), aluminum oxide (AlO y ), or the like is used for the first resistance change layer 31.
- Tantalum oxide (TaO x ) having a lower resistance value than that of the first resistance change layer 31 can be used for the second resistance change layer 32.
- the nonvolatile memory cell 30 for example, different transition metal oxides can be used for the first resistance change layer 31 and the second resistance change layer 32.
- the transition metal oxide of the first resistance change layer 31 a transition metal oxide having a smaller oxygen deficiency than the transition metal oxide of the second resistance change layer 32 is used.
- the degree of oxygen deficiency refers to the proportion of oxygen deficient with respect to the amount of oxygen constituting the stoichiometric oxide in each transition metal.
- the stoichiometric oxide composition is Ta 2 O 5 and can be expressed as TaO 2.5 .
- the degree of oxygen deficiency of TaO 2.5 is 0%.
- the oxygen content of Ta 2 O 5 is the ratio of oxygen to the total number of atoms (O / (Ta + O)), which is 71.4 atm%. Therefore, the oxygen-deficient tantalum oxide has an oxygen content greater than 0 and less than 71.4 atm%.
- the oxygen deficiency decreases as the oxygen content (oxygen content) increases, and the oxygen deficiency increases as the oxygen content (oxygen content) decreases.

- the standard electrode potential represents a characteristic that the higher the value, the less likely it is to oxidize.
- the columnar electrode 12 of the nonvolatile memory cell 30 is preferably made of a material whose standard electrode potential of the main metal material is higher than the standard electrode potential of the metal constituting the first resistance change layer 31.
- This is based on the same idea as the nonvolatile memory cell 10. That is, since such a columnar electrode 12 is less likely to be oxidized than the first variable resistance layer 31, the oxidation-reduction reaction of the first variable resistance layer 31 mainly occurs in the vicinity of the interface with the columnar electrode 12. This is because the resistance change phenomenon is stabilized by changing the oxygen content of the resistance change layer 31.
