具体实施方式
在相关技术中,存储器一般包括多个存储单元100,示例性的,如图1所示,该存储器包括十五个存储单元100,十五个存储单元100形成五行三列的存储矩阵,其中,每行存储单元100通过一根字线206(英文名称为Word line,简称为WL)连接,每列存储单元100通过一根位线205(英文名称为Bit line,简称为BL)连接。该存储器的读操作原理如下:
以对第一行第一列的存储单元100进行读操作为例,首先,通过第一行存储单元100连接的字线206,选中第一行所有的存储单元100,并将其暂存在缓存区101,然后,通过第一列存储单元100连接的位线205,选中第一列所有的存储单元100,如此,即可将第一行第一列的存储单元100选中,进而进行读操作。
然而,本申请的发明人发现,例如当需要选中第一行第一列的存储单元100时,同时也会选中第二行第一列的存储单元100、第三行第一列的存储单元100、第四行第一列的存储单元100以及第五行第一列的存储单元100,造成对第二行第一列的存储单元100、第三行第一列的存储单元100、第四行第一列的存储单元100、以及第五行第一列的存储单元100的加载是多余,这会使得整个加载时间变长,存储器的存储速度变慢,存储器的性能变差。
为此,本申请提出一种存储器以及制备方法,其在基底上设置控制区、以及位于控制区的两侧的存储区,在各存储区设置多行第一有源区,每行第一有源区与一位线连接,在控制区设置多个第二有源区,每个第二有源区形成第一栅极、位于第一栅极的第一源漏区和第二源漏区,第一源漏区和第二源漏区分别与所在第二有源区两侧的位线连接,如此,即可通过控制第一栅极的电压,控制相邻两个存储区中的对应一行的所有第一有源区,是否通过与第一源漏区连接的位线以及与第二源漏区连接的位线导通,进而控制每次读操作和写操作时位线的有效长度,也即,可控的在每次读操作和写操作中,控制有效位线连接的存储单元的数量,进而减小每次读操作和写操作的时间,使得存储器的平均存储速度加快,存储器的性能提升。

在上述实施方式中,在第一有源区203上设置两个第一栅极槽,两个第一栅极槽相背离的一侧第一离子注入层即为第二接触区212。
在一些实施方式中,采用本实施例的存储器的制备方法制备的存储器,在每个第一有源区203还形成位于每个第二栅极208的背离第一接触区204一侧的第二接触区212,将每个第二接触区212与对应的电荷存储元件连接。电荷存储源元件例如为电容器214。
请参阅图5a、图5b、图5c所示,制备电容器214具体例如为:
首先,通过光刻工艺、刻蚀工艺以及沉积工艺在第二接触区212的上方设置第四导电部213;
其次,再通过光刻工艺、刻蚀工艺以及沉积工艺在第四导电部213的上方形成电容器214。
请参阅图5b和图5c所示,本实施例的存储器及其制备方法制备的存储器,仅在存储区202内第一有源区203的第二接触区212上方形成了电容器214,在控制区201的第二有源区215上方不设置电容器214,而是,在控制区201仅相应沉积有绝缘层。
在一些实施方式中,在基底200上形成多个控制区201以及多个存储区202,且将各控制区201与各存储区202交替间隔排布。在基底200上设置多个控制区201和存储区202,可以使得存储器的存储速度更快,存储性能得到提升。需要说明的是,在基底200上形成多个控制区201以及多个存储区202,例如设置一个控制区201,两个存储区202, 或者两个控制区201,三个存储区202,均使用相同的制备步骤,这使得制备的存储器的速度更快,性能得到提升,同时不增加制备步骤。
本实施例的存储器的制备方法,可以在同一工艺步骤中形成第一有源区203和第二有源区215,在同一工艺步骤中形成第一接触区204、第二接触区212、第一源漏区217以及第二源漏区218,在同一工艺步骤中形成第一栅极216和第二栅极208,在同一工艺步骤中形成字线206和控制线219,在同一工艺步骤中形成位线205,这使得整个存储器的制备过程没有增加新的工艺步骤,而且,第二有源区215和第一有源区203相比,仅需要对第二栅极208的附近结构做出相应的修改即可,因而,仅需要对制程中的掩膜版的开口位置做出相应的修改即可,而且这种掩膜版的版图图形与相关技术相比,变化并不大,因此,本实施例的存储器的制备方法,工艺过程简单,易操作。
本说明书中各实施例或实施方式采用递进的方式描述,每个实施例重点说明的都是与其他实施例的不同之处,各个实施例之间相同相似部分相互参见即可。
在本说明书的描述中,参考术语“一个实施方式”、“一些实施方式”、“示意性实施方式”、“示例”、“具体示例”、或“一些示例”等的描述意指结合实施方式或示例描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点包含于本申请的至少一个实施方式或示例中。在本说明书中,对上述术语的示意性表述不一定指的是相同的实施方式或示例。而且,描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点可以在任何的一个或多个实施方式或示例中以合适的方式结合。
最后应说明的是:以上各实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述各实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分或者全部技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的范围。
