下面将参照附图更详细地描述本公开公开的示例性实施方式。虽然附图中显示了本公开的示例性实施方式,然而应当理解,可以以各种形式实现本公开,而不应被这里阐述的具体实施方式所限制。相反,提供这些实施方式是为了能够更透彻地理解本公开,并且能够将本公开公开的范围完整的传达给本领域的技术人员。
在下文的描述中,给出了大量具体的细节以便提供对本公开更为彻底的理解。然而,对于本领域技术人员而言显而易见的是,本公开可以无需一个或多个这些细节而得以实施。在其他的例子中,为了避免与本公开发生混淆,对于本领域公知的一些技术特征未进行描述;即,这里不描述实际实施例的全部特征,不详细描述公知的功能和结构。
在附图中,为了清楚,层、区、元件的尺寸以及其相对尺寸可能被夸大。自始至终相同附图标记表示相同的元件。
应当明白,当元件或层被称为“在……上”、“与……相邻”、“连接到”或“耦合到”其它元件或层时,其可以直接地在其它元件或层上、与之相邻、连接或耦合到其它元件或层,或者可以存在居间的元件或层。相反,当元件被称为“直接在……上”、“与……直接相邻”、“直接连接到”或“直接耦合到”其它元件或层时,则不存在居间的元件或层。应当明白,尽管可使用术语第一、第二、第三等描述各种元件、部件、区、层和/ 或部分,这些元件、部件、区、层和/或部分不应当被这些术语限制。这些术语仅仅用来区分一个元件、部件、区、层或部分与另一个元件、部件、区、层或部分。因此,在不脱离本公开教导之下,下面讨论的第一元件、部件、区、层或部分可表示为第二元件、部件、区、层或部分。而当讨论的第二元件、部件、区、层或部分时,并不表明本公开必然存在第一元件、部件、区、层或部分。
空间关系术语例如“在……下”、“在……下面”、“下面的”、“在……之下”、“在……之上”、“上面的”等,在这里可为了方便描述而被使用从而描述图中所示的一个元件或特征与其它元件或特征的关系。应当明白,除了图中所示的取向以外,空间关系术语意图还包括使用和操作中的器件的不同取向。例如,如果附图中的器件翻转,然后,描述为“在其它元件下面”或“在其之下”或“在其下”元件或特征将取向为在其它元件或特征“上”。因此,示例性术语“在……下面”和“在……下”可包括上和下两个取向。器件可以另外地取向(旋转90度或其它取向)并且在此使用的空间描述语相应地被解释。
在此使用的术语的目的仅在于描述具体实施例并且不作为本公开的限制。在此使用时,单数形式的“一”、“一个”和“所述/该”也意图包括复数形式,除非上下文清楚指出另外的方式。还应明白术语“组成”和/或“包括”,当在该说明书中使用时,确定所述特征、整数、步骤、操作、元件和/或部件的存在,但不排除一个或更多其它的特征、整数、步骤、操作、元件、部件和/或组的存在或添加。在此使用时,术语“和/或”包括相关所列项目的任何及所有组合。
存储器,如DRAM中,外围电路结构和存储电路结构通常形成在同一衬底的不同区域上,当外围电路结构或存储电路结构中至少一个的布局或占用面积发生变化时,所述衬底的面积便会被动增加或减小;当遇到衬底面积不能随意变动的情况时,上述变化还会大幅增加设计人员的工作量。
另外,对外围电路结构和存储电路结构形成在同一衬底上的结构来说,所需的衬底面积较大,使得制造成本大幅提高,且存储器的体积较大、阵列效率较低。
基于此,提出了本公开实施例的以下技术方案:
本公开实施例提供了一种存储器,包括:
多个堆叠设置的半导体结构,所述半导体结构包括:
第一基底,包括外围电路结构;
第一整合电路层,设置在所述第一基底上,所述第一整合电路层电连接所述外围电路结构;
第二基底,设置在所述第一整合电路层上,所述第一整合电路层和所述第二基底之间设有第一介质层,所述第二基底包括存储电路结构;
其中,所述第一基底和所述第二基底包括半导体层。
本公开实施例提供的存储器包含多个堆叠设置的半导体结构,可有效提高存储器的集成度;同时,所述半导体结构中外围电路和存储电路结构分别位于第一基底和第二基底上,所述第一基底和所述第二基底之间呈纵向分布的方式,可显著减小存储器的体积, 提高存储器的阵列效率。另外,在第一基底和第二基底之间还依次设置有第一整合电路和第一介质层,分别用于在外围电路结构和存储电路结构之间形成电连接及在无需电连接的区域形成良好的电隔离效果。因此,本公开实施例提供的存储器与传统结构相比具有较高的集成度和阵列效率,且具有较小的尺寸。
为使本公开的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图对本公开的具体实施方式做详细的说明。在详述本公开实施例时,为便于说明,示意图会不依一般比例作局部放大,而且所述示意图只是示例,其在此不应限制本公开的保护范围。

但不限于此,所述第一氧化物半导体层和所述第二氧化物半导体层的材料还可以包括In-Hf-Zn类氧化物、In-La-Zn类氧化物、In-Ce-Zn类氧化物、In-Pr-Zn类氧化物、In-Nd-Zn类氧化物、In-Sm-Zn类氧化物、In-Eu-Zn类氧化物、In-Gd-Zn类氧化物、In-Tb-Zn类氧化物、In-Dy-Zn类氧化物、In-Ho-Zn类氧化物、In-Er-Zn类氧化物、In-Tm-Zn类氧化物、In-Yb-Zn类氧化物、In-Lu-Zn类氧化物;以及四元金属氧化物如In-Sn-Ga-Zn类氧化物、In-Hf-Ga-Zn类氧化物、In-Al-Ga-Zn类氧化物、In-Sn-Al-Zn类氧化物、In-Sn-Hf-Zn类氧化物、In-Hf-Al-Zn类氧化物等。
在一些实施例中,作为所述第一氧化物半导体层和所述第二氧化物半导体层的材料,可选择至少包含铟(In)或锌(Zn)的材料。尤其是优选包含铟(In)及锌(Zn) 的材料。除了上述元素以外,可选择还包含稳定剂镓(Ga)元素的材料,所述稳定剂可以降低最终形成的晶体管的电特性偏差。
可选的,所述第一氧化物半导体层和所述第二氧化物半导体层的材料包括但不限于铟镓锌氧化物(IGZO),比如化学式为InGaZnO
4的材料。所述铟镓锌氧化物(IGZO)的厚度范围可以为10nm~500nm之间,比如:50nm、100nm、150nm、200nm、300nm、400nm等。
在一些实施例中,所述铟(In)、镓(Ga)、锌(Zn)各元素之间的比例可以为1:1:1或2:2:1等。但不限于此,所述铟(In)、镓(Ga)、锌(Zn)各元素之间的比例还可以为其他适合的比值。
可以理解的,在一些具体的实施例中,所述第一氧化物半导体层和所述第二氧化物半导体层为掺杂材料,对所述第一氧化物半导体层和所述第二氧化物半导体层进行掺杂采用的掺杂剂为硼、氮、磷和砷中的一种以上,或者氦、氖、氩、氪、氙中的一种以上,又或者掺杂剂为氢;但不限于此,所述掺杂剂也可以根据需求将上述材料进行组合使用。
所述第一氧化物半导体层和所述第二氧化物半导体层的形成可以采用溅射法、涂布法、印刷法、蒸镀法、PCVD法、PLD法、ALD法或MBE法等。
所述第一氧化物半导体层和所述第二氧化物半导体层与硅材料相比,具有易于沉积的特点,因此,当所述第一基底和所述第二基底的材料包括氧化物半导体层时,极易形成由多个半导体结构堆叠起来的存储器结构。在一些实施例中,所述半导体结构的数量范围在2至500之间,比如10、20、50、100、300等。
需要说明的是,所述第一基底和所述第二基底所采用的第一氧化物半导体层和第二氧化物半导体层的形成工艺、材料及厚度可以相同,也可以不同。同样的,对第一氧化物半导体层和第二氧化物半导体层进行掺杂所采用的材料可以相同,也可以不同。
在一些实施例中,第一氧化物半导体层的厚度可以大于第二氧化物半导体层的厚度,由于第一氧化物半导体层的厚度较大,由此可以使得整体器件的漏电减小。第二氧化物半导体层的厚度较小,可以提高存储器件的电子迁移率,提供器件的性能。
在一些实施例中,为进一步提高存储器件的电子迁移率,还可以将第二氧化物半导体层设置成非晶结构。非晶状态的第二氧化物半导体层可以较容易的获得平坦的表面,由此可以减少使用该第二半氧化物半导体层制造的存储电路结构的界面散乱,从而可以进一步提高存储器件的电子迁移率。
当然,在一些实施例中,在非晶状态的第二氧化物半导体层内还可以形成部分晶格结构,由此可以降低该第二氧化物半导体层内的缺陷,从而可以进一步提高存储器件的电子迁移率。
在一些实施例中,例如通过降低第二氧化物半导体层的沉积温度,例如沉积温度小于150摄氏度,从而获得非晶结构的第二氧化物半导体层。
在一些实施例中,在形成第一氧化物半导体层和第二氧化物半导体层时,还可以采用离子注入法或离子掺杂法对第一氧化物半导体层和第二氧化物半导体层进行掺杂,掺杂离子例如为硼,氮,磷或砷。当第一氧化物半导体层内包括掺杂离子时,可以提高第 一氧化物半导体层的导电性。需要说明的是,为保证第二氧化物半导体层的载流子迁移率,同时为提高第一氧化物半导体层的导电性,可以使得第二氧化物半导体层内的掺杂浓度可以小于或等于第一氧化物半导体层内的掺杂浓度,如果第二氧化物半导体层内的掺杂浓度较大,掺杂剂阻碍载流子的迁移,由此会降低第二氧化物半导体层的导电性。在一些实施例中,第一氧化物半导体层内的掺杂浓度例如为5×10
19atmos/cm
3,第二氧化物半导体层内的掺杂浓度例如为5×10
18atmos/cm
3。
