Description

阻变型随机存储单元及存储器
技术领域
本发明属于微电子及存储器技术领域, 尤其涉及一种用于高密度数 据存储的阻变型随机存储单元及存储器。 背景技术
阻变型随机存取存储器 (Resistive Random Access Memory, 简称 RRAM)作为一种新兴的非易失性存储技术, 在单元面积、器件密度、 功 耗、 编程 /擦除速度、 3D集成和多值实现等诸多方面相对 FLASH都具有 极大的优势, 受到国内外大公司和科研院所的高度关注。 阻变存储技术 的不断进步使之成为未来非易失性存储技术市场主流产品的最有力竞争 者之一。
阻变型随机存储器具有电极 /绝缘层 /电极的简单单元结构, 因此, 1R 型交叉阵列结构是最理想的存储阵列结构, 其可以实现三维超高密度的 集成。 在交叉阵列结构中, 上下相互垂直的平行交叉点处设置存储单元, 每一个存储单元都可以实现器件的选通并进行读写。 但是, 由于存储单 元对称的电学特性, 使得 1R型交叉阵列结构中存在严重的读串扰问题。
图 1 为现有技术阻变型随机存储器中读串扰问题的示意图。 如图 1 所示, 每个存储单元有上电极、 阻变功能层和下电极构成。 该阵列结构 制备工艺简单, 易于实现低成本和高密度的三维集成。 然而, 该结构存 在明显的读扰动现象。 如图 1 所示相邻的四个器件, 坐标为 (1, 1 ) 的 器件处于高阻状态, 其余三个相邻器件 (1, 2 )、 (2, 2) 和 (2, 1 ) 都 处于低阻状态, 此时在 (1, 1 ) 器件上加读电压时, 希望的电流通路如 图 1 中实线所示, 但实际上的电流通路却如图 1 中虚线所示, 使得读出 来的电阻值木是 (1, 1 ) 器件的电阻了, 这就是读串扰现象。
读串扰问题一般通过引入选通单元得以解决, 如 1T1R结构和 1D1R 结构。 采用 1T1R结构集成方案中的器件单元面积最终是由晶体管决定 的。 如果不考虑晶体管驱动电流的影响的话, 1T1R结构的阻变型随机存 储单元的最小面积为 6F2 (F为特征线宽)。 因此, 1T1R结构无法实现高 密度的阵列集成, 而 1D1R结构被认为更有应用的潜力。
图 2为现有技术 1D1R结构阻变型随机存储器的结构示意图。如图 2 所示, 在阻变型存储单元中, 通过将整流二极管串联到阻变功能层上可 以有效解决误读的问题, 整流二极管通过 PN结实现。考虑到阻变功能层 电极一般采用金属材料,构成 PN结的 n型和 p型糁杂以及随后的高温激 活过程使得这种采用 PN结整流二极管的 1D1R单元实现如图 2所示的三 维集成工艺非常复杂和难以控制。 此外, 常规的 PN结的厚度超出了 100 纳米, 也阻碍了其三维集成。 最后, 尽管多晶硅 PN结二极管能够提供阻 变所需要的大 Set/Reset电流, 但是其泄露电流很大。 以上种种因素制约 了常规多晶硅 PN结整流型阻变器件的集成。 因此, 如何实现 1D1R结构 阻变型随机存储单元的三维高密度集成是存储技术研究的一个重要课 题。
本发明申请人意识到现有技术存在如下技术问题:釆用 PN结作为选 通单元的 1D1R结构的阻变型存储单元中,由于需要额外的掺杂和高温激 活过程, 不利于进行三维高密度集成。 发明内容

2) 本发明中, 非对称势垒结构用于阻变区的选通, 其实现工艺非常 简单, 避免了常规多晶硅 PN结整流二极管所需的注入、退火等的工艺需 求, 因此可以使得工艺复杂度和制造成本大大降低;
3 ) 本发明中, 基于非对称隧穿势垒 (Tunneling Barrier, 简称 TB ) 的 1TB1R结构, 其基本概念在于通过在非对称势垒两端施加不同极性的 电压, 其隧穿电流可以通过非对称的势垒高度和隧穿厚度的调整而获得 很大的正反向电流差异 (如 105), 因此可以通过这种结构有效实现整流 特性;
4)非对称隧穿势垒层可以采用具有不同势垒高度的高 K材料予以实 现, 比如 Si02/Al203, Si02/Hf02, SiON/Hf02等, 其可选的材料很多, 且 已经被广泛用于 CMOS工艺, 因此该新结构与 CMOS工艺完全兼容;
5 ) 采用该非对称隧穿势垒层作为选通单元, 可以有效解决 1R型交 叉阵列的读串扰的问题, 因此该结构可以很好的用于实现交叉存储阵列 方式设计。 ' 附图说明

图 7本发明实施例阻变型随机存储单元不同厚度比的 Si02/Al203堆 栈结构的电流测试曲线。 具体实施方式
为使本发明的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚明白, 以下结合具体 实施例, 并参照附图, 对本发明进一步详细说明。
在本发明的示例性实施例中, 提供了一种阻变型随机存储单元。 该 存储单元由上电极、 阻变功能层、 中间电极、 非对称隧穿势垒层和下电 极构成, 其中上电极、 阻变功能层和中间电极构成阻变存储部分, 中间 电极、 非对称隧穿势垒层和下电极构成选通功能部分, 阻变存储部分和 选通功能部分共用中间电极。 选通功能部分可以位于阻变存储部分的上 方或下方, 如果选通功能部分位于阻变存储部分的上方, 则该存储单元 的结构如图 3 所示; 如果选通功能部分位于阻变存储部分的下方, 则该 存储单元的结构如图 4所示。 而非对称隧穿势垒层由至少两种势垒高度 存在差异的材料构成, 以实现对穿过阻变型随机存储单元的正、 反向隧 穿电流的整流调制。 优选地, 构成非对称隧穿势垒层的材料的种类和厚 度由预设的整流调制特性确定。
本实施例引入非对称隧穿势垒层用于整流, 实现了阻变单元的选通 操作。 同时, 由于非对称隧穿势垒层的制备不涉及掺杂工艺, 不用高温 退火, 并且厚度较薄, 因此有利于实现阻变型随机存储器进行三维高密 度集成。 虽然本发明引入中间电极增加了工艺步骤, 但也提高了该阻变 单元的可靠性。
在本发明优选的实施例中, 在非对称隧穿势垒层高势垒材料的一侧, 电极由低功函数导电材料构成; 在非对称隧穿势垒层低势垒材料的一侧, 电极由高功函数导电材料构成。 通过调整中间电极和下电极导电材料的 功函数来进行控制, 可以获得更小的反向泄露电流, 从而其整流比也可 以进一步扩大。
在本发明优选的实施例中, 非对称隧穿势垒层由至少两种势垒高度 存在差异的材料构成。该势垒高度存在差异的材料为 Si02, SiON, Si3N4, Hf02, A1203, Zr02, HfAlO, HfSiO, AlSiO, Ta205或 Hf02, 构成非对 称隧穿势垒层的各子层的厚度为 0.5nm~50nm。 但优选地, 非对称隧穿势 垒层的总厚度为 10-50nm。本实施例中,双层的非对称隧穿势垒层可以为 Si02/Si3N4, Si02/Al203, Si02/Hf02, SiO應 f02, SiON/Al203, Al203/Hf02, Al203/Si02 或 Hf02/SiON 层; 三层的非对称隧穿势垒层可以为 Si02/Al203/Hf02, SiON/Al203/Hf02或 Si02/SiON/Hf02。 构成非对称隧穿 势垒层的材料制备可以采用以下的方法中一种: 电子束蒸发、 化学气相 沉积、 脉冲激光沉积、 原子层沉积、 磁控溅射或氧化。
图 5为本发明实施例阻变型随机存储单元的示意图。 其中, 图 5 中 左图为阻变型随机存储单元的结构图, 图 5 右为阻变型随机存储单元选 通功能部分的能带图。 为直观起见, 将两幅图放在一起进行说明。
如图 5左图所示, 阻变型随机存储单元包括阻变存储部分 (1R) 和 选通功能部分(TB )。 选通功能部分, 位于阻变存储部分的下方, 由中间 电极、 非对称隧穿势垒层和下电极构成。 而非对称隧穿势垒层由低势垒 材料和高势垒材料两层构成。 通过在非对称势垒两端施加不同极性的电 压, 其隧穿电流可以通过非对称的势垒高度和隧穿厚度的调整而获得很 大的正反向电流差异 (其正向电流比负向电流高 5个数量级), 因此可以 通过这种结构有效实现整流特性。
作为一个例子, 这里的双层势垒由 SiON和高 K材料 (比如 Hf02) 构成。 当图 5的上电极接正电压, 下电极接负电压或者 0的时候, 中间 电极的电压将高于下电极, 所以非对称势垒的能带如图 5中右上图所示, 这样电子在从下电极向上电极隧穿的时候其隧穿厚度为 dl, 其隧穿势垒 高度由靠近下电极的材料 SiON决定。 同理, 在上电极接负电压下电极接 0 电压或者正电压时候, 其电子从上电极向下电极的隧穿距离为 d2, 势 垒高度由靠近中间电极的高 K材料 Hf02决定。 可以看出, dl<d2, 这样 通过选择材料和厚度可以控制隧穿电流, 从而可以有效实现隧穿电流的 整流特性。
采用图 5左图的新结构可以实现 1R的交叉阵列运作方式。通过采用 非对称隧穿势垒层, 原 1D1R中 PN结二极管的高度可以急剧减小, 比如 从 100纳米的多晶硅 PN结二极管厚度减小到小于 10纳米的厚度, 因此 新的阻变型随机存储单元将与理想的 1R结构在集成密度上趋向于一致, 也可实现三维高密度集成。 同时, 该结构的实现工艺非常简单, 避免了 常规多晶硅 PN结整流二极管所需的注入、退火等的工艺需求, 因此可以 使得工艺复杂度和制造成本大大降低。
图 6为本发明另一实施例阻变型随机存储单元的示意图。 与图 5 中 所示的阻变型随机存储单元不同, 该存储单元基于三层非对称隧穿势垒 的新结构的一个变形, 即选通功能部分由高势垒材料、 中势垒材料、 低 势垒材料构成。 其基本概念与双层类似, 三种势垒材料的势垒高度单调 递增或者递减, 就可以获得其对电流的调制效果。 当然应该指出的是, 三种材料如果不是单调递增或者递减, 但是通过选择合适的介电常数和 不同的厚度, 仍然可以获得相似的功能。 因此非单调递增或者递减的势 垒如果具有电流整流的效果仍然在本发明的涵盖范围内, 此处不做赘述。
图 5和图 6的阻变型随机存储单元中, 只以靠近中间电极介质的势 垒高度小于靠近下电极介质的势垒高度为例对我们的发明思路进行了实 例化。 应该指出的是, 基于通过非对称势垒来进行电流调整的其他任何 变形, 包括靠近中间电极介质的势垒高度大于靠近下电极介质的势垒高 度, 以及更多层隧穿势垒等都将受本发明的涵盖。
如上所述, 通过调整构成非对称隧穿势垒层的材料的种类和厚度, 可以获得预设的整流调制特性。 为了验证上述理论的可行性, 图 7本发 明实施例阻变型随机存储单元不同厚度比的 Si02/Al203堆栈结构的电流 测试曲线。此处固定了 A1203厚度为 50 A, 而对 Si02的厚度进行了分裂, 其等效氧化层厚度(EOT)也被标示在图中。比如对于 Si02 ( 10 A) /A1203 ( 50 A), 如果 A1203的介电常数为 9.3, 那么其等效氧化层厚度约为 EOT=30A。 从正反向电流曲线测试可以看出, 不同的介质厚度的调整将 产生不同的隧穿电流曲线。 同时, 在相同电压值但不同极性情况下 (V, -V), 其电流差可以达到 5个数量级的差值, 因此完全能够满足选通管的 整流特性。 如图 7 的实验结果可以看出, 通过选择不同的材料厚度, 通 过隧穿势垒的正向电流比反向电流大 5 个数量级, 因此可以满足选择管 的整流需求。
对于在图 1 的交叉阵列中采用该新阻变型随机存储单元, 则在选择 通道上 (从 (1, 1 ) ^ (2, 1 ) ), 则电流只需要经过在 (1, 1 ) 处的 1 个隧穿势垒, 而泄露通道 (从 (1 , 1 ) ( 1, 2) - (2, 2) - (2, 1 ) ) 路径上则需要经过四个隧穿势垒, 泄露电流会被有效抑制, 从而达到防 止交叉阵列串扰的问题。
作为一个具体实例, 上文给出了采用双层隧穿势垒(图 5 )和三层隧 穿势垒(图 6)做整流的新的阻变型随机存储单元的新结构, 当然也可以 采用更多层的隧穿势垒结构, 只要通过非对称隧穿势垒层实现对穿过阻 变型随机存储单元的正、 反向隧穿电流的整流调制, 均应涵盖在本发明 的范围之内。
上述技术方案中, 阻变存储部分可以具有单极或双极性电阻转变特 性。 其上电极、 中间电极以及下电极的导电电极材料由至少一种或者多 种以下材料构成: 金属材料\^、 Al、 Cu、 Au、 Ag、 Pt、 Ru、 Ti、 Ta、 Pb、 Co、 Mo、 Ir、 Ni, 导电金属化合物 TiN、 TaN、 WN、 Ir02、 ITO、 NiSi、 CoSi、 IZO、 YBCO、 LaA103、 SrRu03、 Si、 多晶硅或者其它的导电电极 材料;
上述技术方案中, 导电电极材料采用以下方法中的一种进行淀积: 电子束蒸发、 化学气相沉积、 脉冲激光沉积、 原子层沉积或磁控溅射; 电极材料的厚度为 lnm〜500nm。
上述技术方案中, 阻变存储部分的电阻转变功能层至少由一种或者 多种以下材料或者对它们进行掺杂后形成,如 MOx,其中 0<x<=2; TiOx, 其中 0<x<=2; CuOx,其中 0<x<=2; ZrOx,其中 0<x<=2; TaOx,其中 0<x<=2; WOx, 其中 0<x<=2; HfOx; 其中 0<x<=2; AlOy, 其中 l<y<2; CoO; ΜοΟ, ΖηΟ; PCMO; LCMO; SrTi03; BaTi03; SrZr03; CuS; AgS; AgGeSe; CuIxSy其中 0<x, y<2; Si02; Y203; Si; 非晶硅或有机材料。
上述技术方案中, 阻变存储部分的阻变功能层也可以通过改变功能 层材料的相状态予以实现 (即常规的相变存储器)。 因此, 该功能材料亦 可以包括各种可以发生相变的材料,比如 Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST), GeTe, GeTeC 等材料。
上述技术方案中, 阻变功能层的制备采用以下的方法中一种: 电子 束蒸发、 化学气相沉积、 脉冲激光沉积、 原子层沉积、 旋涂或磁控溅射; 存储介质层的厚度为 lnm〜500nm, 优选为 200nm。
上述技术方案中, 其非对称隧穿势垒层可以由单层、 双层、 以及多 层介质层构成。 其特点在于下电极一侧的势垒高度和中间电极一侧的势 垒高度有一定的差异, 这样在施加不同极性电压的时候其电流有比较大 的差异。
上述技术方案中, 靠近中间电极的介质势垒高度可以小于靠近下电 极的介质势垒高度 (如图 3和图 4所示), 也可以相反。 其双层介质可以 至少由两种以下材料形成。如由 Si02, SiON, Si3N4, Hf02, A1203, Zr02, ■10, HfSiO , AlSiO , Ta205等材料中的两种构成如 Si02/Al203, Si02/Hf02, SiON/Hf02, SiON/Al203, Al203/Hf02等双层势垒, 也可以构 成 Si02/Hf02/Al203, SiON/Hf02/Al203等三层或者多层势垒等。
上述构成非对称势垒的材料制备可以采用以下的方法中一种: 电子 束蒸发、 化学气相沉积、 脉冲激光沉积、 原子层沉积或磁控溅射、 氧化 等; 各层材料的厚度为 0.5nm〜50nm, 优选为 20nm。
根据本发明的另一个方面, 还提供了一种阻变型随机存储器。 该存 储器包括电阻读写单元、 地址选择单元和若干个上文中阻变型随机存储 单元。
需要说明的是, 本发明半导体存储单元、 器件及其制备方法中, 涉 及的沉积工艺可以为: 电子束沉积、 磁控溅射、 溶胶-凝胶法沉积、 化学 气相沉积等; 而涉及的刻蚀工艺可以为: 湿法刻蚀、 等离子体干法刻蚀 等。 本领域的普通技术人员结合客观条件和环境因素, 可以选择合理的 沉积、 刻蚀或其他工艺。 只要达到本发明所涉及的目的及结构特征, 均 应包括在本发明的保护范围之内。
综上所述, 本发明引入非对称隧穿势垒层用于整流, 从而实现电阻 单元的选通操作。 同时, 由于非对称隧穿势垒层不用掺杂, 不用高温退 火, 并且厚度较薄, 因此有利于实现阻变型随机存储器进行三维高密度 集成。
以上所述的具体实施例, 对本发明的目的、 技术方案和有益效果进 行了进一步详细说明, 所应理解的是, 以上所述仅为本发明的具体实施 例而已, 并不用于限制本发明, 凡在本发明的精神和原则之内, 所做的 任何修改、 等同替换、 改进等, 均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
