存储单元120中包括电容127,电容127的电容电极设置在晶体管121的漏接触区33处。动态存储器10中包括多个字线123,每一层存储阵列12中有多个存储单元120(沿同一方向排列的存储单元120)共用一个字线123,即每一层存储阵列12中多个存储单元120的晶体管121通过字线123电连接(字线123连接晶体管121的栅极125),字线123的延伸方向与半导体层22的延伸方向互相垂直。不同层的存储单元的字线相互间隔设置。
动态存储器10中还包括多个位线124,结合图1、图2和图3所示,每层存储单元中的所述半导体层上源接触区32设置有通孔25,位线124位于半导体层22的源接触区32处的所述通孔25中沿着垂直衬底的方向 延伸,该位线的侧壁与所述半导体层上所述通孔25的侧壁接触。每一个位线124贯穿多层存储阵列12中的晶体管121,被位线124贯穿的多个晶体管121通过位线124电连接。位线124的材料包括钨等具有良好导电性能的材料,具体可根据实际情况进行确定。
结合图1、图2和图3所示,在动态存储器10处于写入模式时,通过字线123对晶体管121的栅极125施加高电压,半导体层22的源接触区32以及漏接触区33之间的沟道区31导通,使晶体管121处于开启状态,数据信号通过位线124传输至晶体管121,然后通过晶体管121传输至电容127,以实现将数据写入存储单元120。数据信号电压的高低决定电容127上电荷的多少,进而决定了写入的数据信号的二进制是0还是1。在动态存储器10处于读取模式时,通过字线123对晶体管121的栅极125施加高电压,使晶体管121处于开启状态,电容127中的电信号通过位线124传输至外部读写电路(图1至图3中未示出),即读写电路通过位线124将存储单元120中的数据读出。
在本公开的实施例中,通过将包括多个存储单元120的存储阵列12层叠设置,形成了具有立体结构的动态存储器10,在提高了动态存储器10存储容量的同时,避免了将存储单元120设置在同一个平面上时造成动态存储器10的面积过大,因此使得存储单元120的结构布局更加紧凑,在提高了存储密度的同时更加有利于器件的集成。另一方面,通过使位线124贯穿多个存储单元120中晶体管121的半导体层,多个层叠设置的晶体管121通过一个位线124即可实现电连接,即多个层叠设置的晶体管121共用一个位线124,因此有利于简化动态存储器的结构和制作工艺。
在一些实施例中,使半导体层22直接与电容127以及位线124接触连接即可实现半导体层22的漏接触区33与电容127电连接、半导体层22的源接触区32与位线124电连接,因此不需要专门制作金属电极(源极或漏极)。
在一些实施例中,在动态存储器10的制作过程中,制作了半导体层22后,通过原位掺杂工艺使得半导体层22上的至少部分源接触区32导 体化以形成源极,使得半导体层22上的至少部分漏接触区33导体化以形成漏极。
在一些实施例中,源极与位线124一体成型。具体地,源极与位线124由相同的材料形成在同一条线上。
在一些实施例中,漏极与电容127一体成型。具体地,漏极与电容127由相同的材料形成在同一条线上。
在一些实施例中,半导体层22的源接触区32具有用于位线穿过的通孔25,位线124的位于通孔25内的部分形成源极且与通孔25的侧壁接触。
在一些实施例中,半导体层22垂直于第一方向。例如,半导体层可以平行于第二方向,亦或是平行于第三方向。
在一些实施例中,结合图1、图3和图4所示,电容127包括位于漏接触区33处的内电极1271、介质层1272和外电极1273,内电极1271、介质层1272和外电极1273均围绕半导体层22的漏接触区33漏接触区,内电极1271、介质层1272和外电极1273沿远离半导体层22的方向依次分布。
具体的,在动态存储器10的制作过程中,在半导体层22的漏接触区33处依次生长出内电极1271、介质层1272和外电极1273,内电极1271、介质层1272和外电极1273均环绕半导体层22设置,且沿远离半导体层22的方向依次分布。外电极1273,内电极1271、介质层1272互相重叠,以形成电容127。通过使外电极1273、内电极1271、介质层1272环绕半导体层22设置,可以增大外电极1273与内电极1271互相交叠的面积,有利于提高电容127的容量。另外,介质层1272的厚度也不需要很薄(介质层1272厚度越小,电容127容量越大,为提高电容127的容量可以减小介质层1272的厚度),因此有利于降低动态存储器10的制作难度。内电极1271以及外电极1273的材料包括氮化钛等具有良好导电性能的材料,介质层1272的材料选用具有高介电常数的材料,具体可根据实际情况进行确定。
在一些实施例中,相邻两层存储阵列12中存储单元120的电容127共用外电极1273。具体的,相邻两层存储阵列12中存储单元120的外电极1273相互接触、或部分一体成型。如图3所示,位于两层存储单元120之间的外电极1273既是位于上一层的存储单元120中电容127的外电极1273,也是位于下一层的存储单元120中电容127的外电极1273,因此简化了动态存储器10的结构,并且有利于降低动态存储器10在图3中第一方向上的厚度。另一方面,在动态存储器10的制作过程中,相邻两层存储单元120之间只需要制作一层外电极1273,由此简化了动态存储器10的制作工艺。
在一些实施例中,至少部分内电极1271形成漏极。
在一些实施例中,电容127包括内电极1271、介质层1272和外电极1273;介质层1272和外电极1273均围绕半导体层22的漏接触区33,介质层1272和外电极1273沿远离半导体层22的方向依次分布,半导体层22的至少部分漏接触区33形成电容127的内电极1271。
在一些实施例中,晶体管121还包括栅绝缘层126,栅极125和栅绝缘层126围绕半导体层22的沟道区,栅极125和栅绝缘层126沿远离半导体层22的方向依次分布。具体的,结合图1、图2、图3和图5所示,栅极125和栅绝缘层126围绕半导体层22,栅极125和栅绝缘层126沿远离半导体层22的方向依次分布。通过使栅绝缘层126和栅极125环绕半导体层22设置,可以增大栅极125与半导体层22交叠的面积,因此可以使对晶体管121开闭的控制更加容易。在一些实施例中,位于不同层的晶体管121的栅极125通过层间绝缘层128互相绝缘。
在一些实施例中,在同一层存储阵列12中,至少两个晶体管121共用位线124。具体的,在同一层存储阵列12中,至少两个存储单元120的晶体管121与相同的位线124连接。结合图1和图3所示,在同一层存储阵列12中,相邻的两个存储单元120中(图1中位于同一条直线上的晶体管121)的晶体管121共用位线124,因此在增加了存储单元120数量、提高存储密度的同时,也避免了占用过多的面积,有利于提高器件的 集成度。需要说明的是,同一层存储阵列12中,共用位线124的晶体管121的数量可根据实际情况进行调整,共用位线124的晶体管121的数量越多,越有利于减小动态存储器10的面积,提高动态存储器10的集成度。
在一些实施例中,与相同位线124连接的各晶体管121相对该位线124对称布置。例如,可以相对该位线124轴对称,或是相对该位线124旋转对称,等等。
基于同一发明构思,本公开实施例还提供了另一种动态存储器10,该动态存储器10包括:衬底11,支撑层24,多个存储阵列12,字线123和位线124。
支撑层24位于衬底11一侧,包括多个在第二方向和/或第三方向阵列排布的隔离墙、以及分别与两个相对的隔离墙连接的支撑柱。
多个存储阵列12在第一方向上间隔分布;存储阵列12包括多个在第二方向和第三方向阵列排布的存储单元120,至少两个存储单元120位于相同的支撑柱上。
字线123沿第二方向或第三方向延伸,分别与存储阵列12中的多个存储单元120电连接。
位线124沿第一方向延伸,分别与多个存储阵列12中的存储单元120电连接。
其中,第一方向垂直于衬底11,第二方向与第三方向相互垂直、且分别与第一方向垂直。
在本实施例中,支撑层24采用隔离墙与支撑柱的配合结构,可以实现动态存储器10中各存储单元120的三维空间布局,有利于提高存储单元120的密度。
在两个相对的隔离墙之间的相同的支撑柱上布设至少两个存储单元120,可以进一步提高平行于衬底的二维空间内存储单元120的密度。
动态存储器10中的位线124沿第一方向延伸,即位线124垂直于衬底方向垂直布设,有利于提高动态存储器10中各存储单元120的密度。
在一些实施例中,在同一层存储阵列12中,至少两个存储单元120与相同的位线124电连接。
在本实施例中,多个存储单元120共用一个位线124,不仅有利于提高存储单元120的密度,还有利于简化动态存储器的结构和制作工艺。
在一些实施例中,与相同的位线124电连接的至少两个存储单元120位于两个相对的隔离墙之间的相同的支撑柱上。这样有利于压缩共用一个位线124的各存储单元120之间布局空间,即进一步提高存储单元120的密度。
在一些实施例中,与相同的位线124电连接的至少两个存储单元120相对位线124对称布置。这样可以便于实现至少两个存储单元120与同一根位线124建立连接。
在一些实施例中,存储单元120包括:晶体管121和电容127。
晶体管121包括半导体层22、栅极125、源极和漏极;半导体层22包括依次连接的源接触区32、沟道区31和漏接触区33;栅极125与沟道区31对应,并与字线123电连接;源极分别与源接触区32、位线124电连接,漏极与漏接触区33连接。
电容127与漏极电连接。
在一些实施例中,支撑柱采用半导体材料制成,以形成晶体管121中的半导体层22。
在本实施例中,支撑柱采用半导体材料制成,即支撑柱的至少部分直接形成晶体管中的半导体层22,这样不仅可以缩小器件体积,以利于增大存储单元的密度,还能节约制备工序,减材降本。
在一些实施例中,半导体层22的源接触区32具有用于位线124穿过的通孔25,位线124的位于通孔25内的部分形成源极且与通孔25的侧壁接触。
在一些实施例中,电容127包括内电极1271、介质层1272和外电极1273;介质层1272和外电极1273均围绕半导体层22的漏接触区33,介质层1272和外电极1273沿远离半导体层22的方向依次分布,半导体层 22的至少部分漏接触区33形成电容127的内电极1271。
基于同一发明构思,本公开实施例还提供了一种存储装置,该存储装置包括上述实施例中的动态存储器10,具有上述实施例中任一种的动态存储器10的有益效果,在此不再赘述。具体地,本公开实施例中的存储装置可以为计算机的主存等,具体可根据实际情况进行确定,此处不作限定。
基于同一种发明构思,本公开实施例还提供了一种动态存储器10的制作方法,如图6所示,包括以下步骤S101-S105:
S101:提供衬底。
S102:在衬底的一侧制作层叠的多个半导体层;半导体层包括依次连接的源接触区、沟道区和漏接触区。
在一些实施例中,步骤S102中的在衬底的一侧制作层叠的多个半导体层,包括:
通过外延生长工艺在衬底的一侧层叠地制作多层超晶格薄膜层,每一层超晶格薄膜层包括依次层叠设置的牺牲层和半导体层。
对多层超晶格薄膜层进行刻蚀,得到露出部分衬底的基桩孔;在基桩孔中,位于牺牲层的部分的直径大于位于半导体层的部分的直径。
通过沉积工艺在基桩孔内填充支撑材料,以形成支撑层。由于前述工艺制得的基桩孔中,位于牺牲层的部分的直径大于位于半导体层的部分的直径,因此本步骤制备得到的支撑层能够向相邻两层半导体层之间的空间进行延伸,以待牺牲层被去除后,能够对相邻两层半导体层提供支撑。
去除牺牲层,使得多个半导体层依次层叠且相互间隔。
S103:制作栅极和字线,使得栅极与沟道区对应、字线与栅极电连接。
在一些实施例中,步骤S103中的制作栅极和字线,包括:制作环绕半导体层中沟道区的栅绝缘层;制作环绕栅绝缘层的栅极。
S104:制作漏极和电容,使得漏极与漏接触区连接、电容与漏极电连接。
在一些实施例中,步骤S104中的制作漏极和电容,包括:
制作环绕半导体层中漏接触区的内电极,至少部分内电极形成漏极。
制作环绕内电极的介质层。
制作环绕介质层的外电极,使得包括内电极、介质层和外电极的整体形成电容。
S105:制作源极和位线,使得源极与源接触区连接、位线与源极电连接,至少一根位线分别与层叠的多个半导体层的源接触区所连接的源极电连接。其中,包括半导体层、栅极、源极和漏极的整体形成晶体管。
在一些实施例中,步骤S105中的制作源极和位线,包括:
对层叠的多个半导体层中源接触区进行刻蚀,得到贯穿半导体层两侧的通孔。
制作贯穿多个通孔的位线,位线的位于通孔内的部分形成源极。
经过以上步骤S101-S105制备得到的动态存储器10,包括衬底11和层叠的设置在衬底11上的多个存储阵列12,存储阵列12包括多个阵列排布的存储单元120,存储单元120包括晶体管121和电容127。动态存储器10还包括字线123和位线124,字线123位于晶体管121的栅极125处并与晶体管121电连接,位线124贯穿多个存储单元120中晶体管121的半导体层22,位线124位于源接触区32处,多个存储单元120中的晶体管121通过位线124电连接。通过将包括多个存储单元120的存储阵列12层叠设置,形成了具有立体结构的动态存储器10,在提高了动态存储器10存储容量的同时,避免了将存储单元120设置在同一个平面上时造成动态存储器10的面积过大,使得存储单元120的结构布局更加紧凑,在提高了存储密度的同时更加有利于器件的集成。
需要说明的是,在动态存储器10的制作过程中,可通过修饰刻蚀工艺对字线123进行刻蚀,使位于不同层的字线123的程度不一致,即使不同层的字线123呈阶梯状。结合图1和图2所示,沿图2中第一方向上,字线123在图2中第二方向(逐渐远离衬底1111)上的长度逐渐减小,因此可以方便地使位于不同层的字线123通过走线与读写电路(图1和图 2中未示出)。
下面结合附图详细介绍本公开实施例中动态存储器10的制作方法。
如图7a所示,首先,提供一衬底11,衬底11的材料包括硅。图7a-1是沿第一方向的截面图,图7a-2是俯视图。
如图7b所示,接着,通过外延生长工艺在衬底11的一侧层叠地制作多层超晶格薄膜20,每一层超晶格薄膜20包括沿图7b中第一方向分布的牺牲层21和半导体层22,牺牲层21的材料包括硅锗(SiGe),半导体层22的材料包括单晶硅,半导体层22包括源接触区32、漏接触区33以及设置在源接触区32和漏接触区33之间的沟道区31。超晶格薄膜20的层数可根据实际情况进行确定,例如,可以是8层、16层或者32层。需要说明的是,如图7b中仅示出了三层牺牲层21作为示意,并不代表对本方案的限定。图7b-1是沿第一方向的截面图,图7b-2是俯视图。
如图7c所示,接着,对多层牺牲层21和半导体层22进行刻蚀,去除部分牺牲层21和半导体层22的材料,以使半导体层22形成间隔设置的结构。半导体层22的数量以及半导体层22之间的距离d可根据实际情况进行调整。图7c-1是沿第一方向的截面图,图7c-2是俯视图。
如图7d所示,接着,对牺牲层21位于半导体层22两端的部分进行刻蚀,以形成沟槽23。沟槽23在图7d中第三方向上的宽度w可根据实际情况进行调整。图7d-1是沿第一方向的截面图,图7d-2是俯视图。
如图7e所示,接着,通过原子沉积工艺或者化学气相沉积工艺沉积支撑层24(支撑层24位于半导体层22的两端),并使支撑层24填充沟槽23。支撑层24的材料包括氮化硅和氧化硅等具有良好绝缘性能的材料,具体可根据实际情况进行确定。需要说明的是,制作沟槽23以及支撑层24的目的是为了后续去除牺牲层21后,支撑层24能够对多层半导体层22进行支撑,防止结构坍塌。支撑层24的材料包括氧化物和氮化物等(例如氧化硅和氮化硅),具体可根据实际情况进行调整。图7e-1是沿第一方向的截面图,图7e-2是俯视图。
如图7f所示,接着,通过调整牺牲层21和半导体层22的蚀刻选择 比(使牺牲层21被蚀刻的速率大于半导体层22被蚀刻的速率),将半导体层22之间的牺牲层21刻蚀并去除,留下的半导体层22作为多个半导体层22。半导体层22两端的支撑层24可以对半导体层22起到支撑作用。图7f-1是沿第一方向的截面图,图7f-2是俯视图。
如图7g所示,接着,在半导体层22上依次生长出围绕半导体层22的栅绝缘层126、栅极125和层间绝缘层128,在位于同层的栅极125之间继续生长导电材料,以形成连接字线123。通过修饰刻蚀工艺对字线123进行刻蚀,使位于不同层的字线123的长度不一致,即使不同层的字线123呈阶梯状。图7g-1是沿第一方向的截面图,图7g-2是俯视图。
如图7h所示,接着,在半导体层22上待制作电容127的区域(即半导体层22的漏接触区33处)依次生长环绕半导体层22的内电极1271、介质层1272和外电极1273,内电极1271、介质层1272和外电极1273构成电容127。位于两层半导体层22之间的外电极1273既是位于上一层的半导体层22所对应的电容127的外电极1273,也是位于下一层的半导体层22所对应的电容127的外电极1273,由此简化了动态存储器的结构,也简化动态存储器的制作工艺。内电极1271和外电极1273的材料包括氮化钛,具体可根据实际情况进行确定。图7h-1是沿第一方向的截面图,图7h-2是俯视图。
如图7i所示,接着,通过刻蚀工艺在半导体层22的源接触区32处开设通孔25,并使多层半导体层22的通孔25基本对齐。图7i-1是沿第一方向的截面图,图7i-2是俯视图。
如图7j所示,接着,在通孔25中填充金属材料,以形成位线124。位于不同层的晶体管121的源接触区32通过位线124电连接。需要说明的是,字线123和位线124之间的空白区域还可以填充具有良好绝缘性能的隔离材料(图7j中未示出),避免动态存储器10的结构中出现空隙。图7j-1是沿第一方向的截面图,图7j-2是俯视图。
采用本公开实施例中的制作方法,制作层叠结构的动态存储器10在工艺上较为容易,使得层叠结构动态存储器10的大规模量产成为可能。
应用本公开实施例,至少能够实现如下有益效果:
1.在本公开的实施例中,动态存储器10包括衬底11和层叠的设置在衬底11上的多个存储阵列12,存储阵列12包括多个阵列排布的存储单元120,存储单元120包括晶体管121和电容127。动态存储器10还包括字线123和位线124,字线123位于晶体管121的栅极125处并与晶体管121电连接,位线124贯穿多个存储单元120中晶体管121的半导体层22,位线124位于源接触区32处,多个存储单元120中的晶体管121通过位线124电连接。通过将包括多个存储单元120的存储阵列12层叠设置,形成了具有立体结构的动态存储器10,在提高了动态存储器10存储容量的同时,避免了将存储单元120设置在同一个平面上时造成动态存储器10的面积过大,使得存储单元120的结构布局更加紧凑,在提高了存储密度的同时更加有利于器件的集成。另一方面,通过使位线贯穿多个存储单元中晶体管的半导体层22,多个层叠设置的晶体管通过一个位线即可实现电连接,由此简化了动态存储器的结构和制作工艺。
2.在本公开的实施例中,电容127包括位于漏接触区33处的内电极1271、介质层1272和外电极1273,内电极1271、介质层1272和外电极1273均围绕半导体层22的漏接触区33,内电极1271、介质层1272和外电极1273沿远半导体层22的方向依次分布。通过使外电极1273、内电极1271、介质层1272环绕半导体层22设置,可以增大外电极1273与内电极1271的面积,有利于提高电容127的容量。
3.在本公开的实施例中,相邻两层存储阵列12中存储单元120的电容127共用外电极1273,即位于两层存储单元120之间的外电极1273既是位于上一层的存储单元120中电容127的外电极1273,也是位于下一层的存储单元120中电容127的外电极1273,因此可以简化动态存储器10的结构和制作工艺。
4.在本公开的实施例中,在同一层存储阵列12中,至少两个晶体管121共用位线124,因此在增加了存储单元120数量、提高存储密度的同 时,也避免了占用过多的面积,有利于提高器件的集成度。
