具体实施方式Detailed ways
随着信息时代技术的不断演进,人们越来越重视数据的存储,不断追求高可靠性、高速读取、大容量和低功耗存储器件。晶体管加电容器结构的存储器作为一类新型非易失存储器,在功耗、成本、读写速度、擦写次数和抗辐照方面有着众多优势,有望替代传统闪存存储器和动态随机存取存储器。With the continuous evolution of technology in the information age, people are paying more and more attention to data storage, and are constantly pursuing high reliability, high-speed reading, large capacity and low power consumption storage devices. As a new type of non-volatile memory, memory with a transistor and capacitor structure has many advantages in terms of power consumption, cost, read and write speed, erase and write times, and radiation resistance. It is expected to replace traditional flash memory and dynamic random access memory.
常见的电容器包括铁电电容器,但是基于钙钛矿结构的传统铁电材料(锆钛酸铅,钽 酸锶铋等)的化学成分复杂,互补型金属氧化物半导体(complementary metal-oxide semiconductor,CMOS)工艺兼容性低,且此类材料制备的铁电器件存在明显的尺寸效应,无法进一步微缩集成到先进工艺节点,因此只能应用在部分小容量的存储器中。应理解,尺寸效应指的是当一个材料的尺寸减小至一定程度,其性质发生突变的效应。Common capacitors include ferroelectric capacitors, but traditional ferroelectric materials based on perovskite structures (lead zirconate titanate, tantalum (strontium bismuth phosphate, etc.) have complex chemical compositions, low compatibility with complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes, and ferroelectric devices prepared with such materials have obvious size effects and cannot be further miniaturized and integrated into Advanced process nodes, so it can only be used in some small-capacity memories. It should be understood that the size effect refers to the effect that when the size of a material is reduced to a certain extent, its properties undergo a sudden change.
近年来,铪基铁电材料的发现,大大减小了铁电器件的尺寸,且铪基材料与先进CMOS工艺有很好的兼容性,吸引了研究人员的广泛研究。常用的铁电存储器中的铁电随机存取存储器(ferroelectric random-access memory,FRAM),由一个晶体管和一个电容器(one transistor and one capacitor,1T1C)组成,与DRAM结构以及读写方式类似,对应的阵列结构和版图结构也类似。新型的铪基铁电材料在制备过程中,退火工艺所需的温度较高,温度超过500℃,因此铁电电容结构需要在工艺制程的前端集成,铁电电容一般排布在漏极和金属层的接触孔上方,铁电电容上方再连接金属层。In recent years, the discovery of hafnium-based ferroelectric materials has greatly reduced the size of ferroelectric devices, and hafnium-based materials have good compatibility with advanced CMOS processes, attracting extensive research by researchers. Ferroelectric random-access memory (FRAM) among commonly used ferroelectric memories is composed of a transistor and a capacitor (one transistor and one capacitor, 1T1C). It is similar to DRAM in structure and reading and writing methods, and corresponds to The array structure and layout structure are also similar. During the preparation process of new hafnium-based ferroelectric materials, the annealing process requires high temperatures, exceeding 500°C. Therefore, the ferroelectric capacitor structure needs to be integrated at the front end of the process. Ferroelectric capacitors are generally arranged between the drain and the metal. Above the contact holes of the layer, the metal layer is connected above the ferroelectric capacitor.
晶体管加电容器结构的存储器中,电容器的面积影响了存储器的性能和可靠性。随着器件尺寸不断微缩,存储器阵列结构中的互连线布局逐渐成为限制电容器面积的瓶颈。图1是现有技术提供的一种存储器沿位线方向的层级结构示意图。晶体管110包括源极S、漏极D和栅极G,电容器包括上极板133、下极板131和电容介质层132。现有技术方案的存储器阵列结构包含的互连线为字线WL,位线BL和板线PL,其中PL和BL分布在金属层,图1所示的BL分布在金属层140,PL分布在金属层142。PL与电容器的上极板133通过接触孔152连接,电容器的下极板131与晶体管110的源极S通过接触孔151相连接,晶体管110的漏极D通过接触孔151、接触孔152、金属层141和金属层142与位于顶层金属层140的BL相连,晶体管110的栅极G与存储器阵列的字线WL相连接。In a memory with a transistor plus capacitor structure, the area of the capacitor affects the performance and reliability of the memory. As device sizes continue to shrink, the layout of interconnect lines in memory array structures has gradually become a bottleneck limiting capacitor area. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the hierarchical structure of a memory along the bit line direction provided by the prior art. The transistor 110 includes a source S, a drain D and a gate G, and the capacitor includes an upper plate 133 , a lower plate 131 and a capacitive dielectric layer 132 . The interconnection lines included in the memory array structure of the prior art solution are word lines WL, bit lines BL and plate lines PL, where PL and BL are distributed in the metal layer. The BL shown in Figure 1 is distributed in the metal layer 140, and the PL is distributed in Metal layer 142. PL is connected to the upper plate 133 of the capacitor through the contact hole 152, the lower plate 131 of the capacitor is connected to the source S of the transistor 110 through the contact hole 151, and the drain D of the transistor 110 is connected through the contact hole 151, the contact hole 152, and the metal Layer 141 and metal layer 142 are connected to BL located on the top metal layer 140, and the gate G of transistor 110 is connected to the word line WL of the memory array.

Figure 2 is a schematic circuit diagram corresponding to the memory shown in Figure 1. The memory array includes 4×2=8 memory cells. The interconnection lines of the memory array include WL, PL and BL, WL is connected to the gates of the transistors of the memory cells in the same row, PL is connected to the upper plate 133 of the capacitor of the memory cells in the same row, and BL is connected to the drains of the transistors of the memory cells in the same column. , the source of the transistor is connected to the lower plate 131 of the capacitor located in the same memory cell. Access to any individual memory cell of the memory array can be achieved using interconnect lines. Among them, WL can choose to turn on the transistor of the corresponding memory unit, and then combines PL and BL to realize access and storage of the selected memory unit.
现有技术中,PL和BL需要通过接触孔来实现金属层中导线和晶体管层的物理连接,对应每个存储单元都需要分布BL和PL两个不同的接触孔,而电容器层分布在金属层和晶体管层之间,因此接触孔的分布在版图排布上限制了电容器层中电容器的布局,也就限制了电容器的面积,即电容器的排布密度受到较大限制。因此,如何提高电容器层的电容器排布密度是一个亟待解决的问题。In the existing technology, PL and BL need to use contact holes to realize the physical connection between the wires and the transistor layer in the metal layer. Corresponding to each memory cell, two different contact holes, BL and PL, need to be distributed, and the capacitor layer is distributed in the metal layer. and the transistor layer, so the distribution of contact holes limits the layout of the capacitors in the capacitor layer, which also limits the area of the capacitors, that is, the arrangement density of the capacitors is greatly restricted. Therefore, how to improve the capacitor arrangement density of the capacitor layer is an urgent problem to be solved.

图5是本申请实施例提供的一种存储器阵列结构的电路示意图。FIG. 5 is a schematic circuit diagram of a memory array structure provided by an embodiment of the present application.
示例性的,图5所示的存储单元阵列包括M行×N列存储单元、M个字线、N个位线、P个行方向的板线和一个列方向的板线LPL,M、N和P均为大于等于2的整数。存储单元阵列的互连线包括WL,PL和BL,每一个存储单元与一个BL、一个PL和一个WL相连。利用互连线可以任意访问单个存储单元。其中WL可以选择打开对应存储单元的晶体管,再结合PL和BL对选中存储单元进行访问和存储。Exemplarily, the memory cell array shown in Figure 5 includes M rows×N columns of memory cells, M word lines, N bit lines, P row direction plate lines and one column direction plate line LPL, M, N and P are both integers greater than or equal to 2. The interconnection lines of the memory cell array include WL, PL and BL, and each memory cell is connected to a BL, a PL and a WL. Individual memory cells can be accessed at will using interconnect lines. Among them, WL can choose to turn on the transistor of the corresponding memory unit, and then combine PL and BL to access and store the selected memory unit.
图5所示的存储单元阵列中每个存储单元包括一个晶体310和一个电容器330。其中,存储单元阵列中位于第i行的存储单元连接在M个字线的第i个字线上,存储单元阵列中位于第j列的存储单元连接在N个位线的第j个位线上。存储单元阵列中位于第i行第j列存储单元中的电容器330的下极板331与位于同一存储单元的晶体管310的漏极D连接, 上极板333与第j个位线连接。i为大于等于0且小于M的整数,j为大于等于0且小于N的整数。存储单元阵列中位于第2k-1行的存储单元和位于第2k行的存储单元中的晶体管的源极S可以共同连接在P个板线的第k个板线上,k为大于等于1且小于等于P的整数。这样相邻两行存储单元中的晶体管的源极S连接在一起可以实现源极共享。Each memory cell in the memory cell array shown in FIG. 5 includes a crystal 310 and a capacitor 330. Among them, the memory cell located in the i-th row of the memory cell array is connected to the i-th word line of M word lines, and the memory cell located in the j-th column of the memory cell array is connected to the j-th bit line of N bit lines. superior. The lower plate 331 of the capacitor 330 located in the i-th row and j-th column memory cell in the memory cell array is connected to the drain D of the transistor 310 located in the same memory cell, The upper plate 333 is connected to the j-th bit line. i is an integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than M, j is an integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than N.

In this way, the sources S of the transistors in two adjacent rows of memory cells are connected together to achieve source sharing.
存储单元阵列中多个沿行方向的板线PL可以通过沿列方向的板线LPL连接在一起。以图5所示的存储单元阵列为例,可以将存储单元阵列中与字线同方向的所有P个板线使用一个沿列方向的板线LPL进行连接,这样存储单元阵列中所有存储单元的晶体管的源极可以连接在一起实现源极共享。整个存储单元阵列仅需一个接触孔将板线连接到顶层金属层240的导线,就可以实现晶体管层210和金属层240中导线的物理连接,减少了存储单元所需要的PL接触孔。Multiple plate lines PL along the row direction in the memory cell array may be connected together by plate lines LPL along the column direction. Taking the memory cell array shown in Figure 5 as an example, all P plate lines in the same direction as the word lines in the memory cell array can be connected using a plate line LPL along the column direction, so that all the memory cells in the memory cell array The sources of transistors can be connected together to achieve source sharing. The entire memory cell array only needs one contact hole to connect the board line to the wire of the top metal layer 240, thereby realizing the physical connection of the wires in the transistor layer 210 and the metal layer 240, reducing the PL contact holes required for the memory cell.
可选的,也可以不使用沿列方向的板线LPL对沿行方向的多个板线PL进行连接,仅相邻两行的晶体管的源极共享。示例性地,第1行和第2行的存储单元中的晶体管的源极S共同连接在PL1上,这样两行存储单元仅需一个接触孔将板线连接到顶层金属层240的导线,就可以实现晶体管层210和金属层240中导线的物理连接,减少了存储单元的所需要的PL接触孔,即减小了对电容器层230的限制。在版图排布时,保持存储单元面积不变的情况下,可以提高电容器面积。Alternatively, the plate lines LPL along the column direction may not be used to connect multiple plate lines PL along the row direction, and only the sources of the transistors in two adjacent rows may be shared. For example, the sources S of the transistors in the memory cells in rows 1 and 2 are commonly connected to PL1, so that the two rows of memory cells only need one contact hole to connect the board wire to the wire of the top metal layer 240. The physical connection of the wires in the transistor layer 210 and the metal layer 240 can be realized, reducing the required PL contact holes of the memory cell, that is, reducing the restrictions on the capacitor layer 230. During layout layout, the capacitor area can be increased while keeping the area of the memory cell unchanged.
可选的,还可以将至少两个沿行方向上的板线PL通过沿列方向的板线LPL连接在一起。示例性的,可以将板线PL1和PL2通过沿列方向的板线LPL1连接在一起,将板线PL3至PL8通过沿列方向的板线LPL2连接在一起,这样多行存储单元中的晶体管的源极S可以连接在一起实现源极共享,减少了存储单元所需要的PL接触孔。Optionally, at least two plate lines PL along the row direction can also be connected together through a plate line LPL along the column direction. For example, the plate lines PL1 and PL2 can be connected together through the plate line LPL1 along the column direction, and the plate lines PL3 to PL8 can be connected together through the plate line LPL2 along the column direction, so that the transistors in the multi-row memory cells The sources S can be connected together to achieve source sharing, reducing the PL contact holes required for the memory cell.

Optionally, the source of the transistor 310 located in the i-th row of memory cells in the memory cell array is connected to the i-th plate line of the P plate lines, so that the transistors in the memory cells located in the same row can achieve source sharing.
可选的,还可以将如图6所示存储阵列中的至少两个沿行方向的板线使用一个沿列方向的板线进行连接,这样多行存储单元中的晶体管的源极可以连接在一起实现源极共享,减少了存储单元所需要的PL接触孔。Optionally, at least two plate lines along the row direction in the memory array as shown in Figure 6 can also be connected using one plate line along the column direction, so that the sources of the transistors in multiple rows of memory cells can be connected to Together, source sharing is achieved, reducing the PL contact holes required for memory cells.

Taking FIG. 7 as an example, the reading and writing mechanism of the memory array according to the embodiment of the present application is explained. Among them, the memory cell 11 and the memory cell 12 are located in the first row of the memory cell array and share the word line WL1. Memory unit 21 and memory unit 22 are located in the second row of the memory cell array and share word line WL2. Memory cell 11 and memory cell 21 are located in the first column of the memory cell array and share bit line BL1. Memory cell 12 and memory cell 22 are located in the second column of the memory cell array and share bit line BL2. Storage unit 11, storage unit 12, storage unit 21 and storage unit 22 share the plate line PL.
以图7所示的存储器为铁电存储器为例,铁电电容器上下两极板之间的电容介质层332为铁电电容,存储单元11、存储单元12、存储单元21和存储单元22为铁电存储单元。铁电存储单元利用铁电电容的极化状态来存储“0”或者“1”,其中以铁电极化向上(铁电极化方向指向BL)记为“0”,极化向下(铁电极化方向指向PL)记为“1”。Taking the memory shown in Figure 7 as a ferroelectric memory as an example, the capacitive dielectric layer 332 between the upper and lower plates of the ferroelectric capacitor is a ferroelectric capacitor, and the storage unit 11, storage unit 12, storage unit 21 and storage unit 22 are ferroelectric. storage unit. The ferroelectric memory cell uses the polarization state of the ferroelectric capacitor to store "0" or "1", where the ferroelectric polarization is upward (the ferroelectric polarization direction points to BL) is recorded as "0", and the polarization is downward (ferroelectric polarization is pointing to BL). The direction points to PL) is recorded as "1".
向铁电存储器单元11写入“1”的操作:WL1接高电平,铁电存储单元11中晶体管打开,BL1接低电平,PL接高电平,这样可以在铁电存储单元11中铁电电容两侧形成电势差。同时由于WL1同时打开了铁电存储单元12中的晶体管,为了避免改写其他铁电储 存单元的数据,需要将BL2置为高电平,WL2接低电平,这样BL1与PL电势差会将存储单元11中铁电电容极化方向改为指向PL(铁电极化方向向下),记存储数据为“1”。The operation of writing "1" to the ferroelectric memory unit 11: WL1 is connected to a high level, the transistor in the ferroelectric memory unit 11 is turned on, BL1 is connected to a low level, and PL is connected to a high level, so that the iron in the ferroelectric memory unit 11 can be A potential difference forms on both sides of the capacitor. At the same time, since WL1 turns on the transistors in the ferroelectric memory unit 12 at the same time, in order to avoid rewriting other ferroelectric memory cells, To store the data in the unit, you need to set BL2 to high level and WL2 to low level. In this way, the potential difference between BL1 and PL will change the polarization direction of the ferroelectric capacitor in storage unit 11 to point to PL (the ferroelectric polarization direction is downward). Note that The stored data is "1".
向铁电存储器单元11写入“0”的操作:WL1接高电平,铁电存储单元11中晶体管打开,BL1接高电平,PL接低电平,WL2、BL2均接低电平,从而在存储单元11中铁电电容两侧形成电势差,铁电极化方向指向BL(铁电极化方向向上),记存储数据为“0”。The operation of writing "0" to ferroelectric memory unit 11: WL1 is connected to high level, the transistor in ferroelectric memory unit 11 is turned on, BL1 is connected to high level, PL is connected to low level, WL2 and BL2 are both connected to low level, As a result, a potential difference is formed on both sides of the ferroelectric capacitor in the memory unit 11, the ferroelectric polarization direction points to BL (ferroelectric polarization direction is upward), and the stored data is recorded as "0".
从铁电存储器单元11读“1”和读“0”的操作:数据读取需要在BL一侧接上灵敏放大器用于放大位线差分信号。将BL1首先预充到低电平,随后WL1接高电平,存储单元11中的晶体管打开,将PL接高电平,同时,为了避免读取其他铁电储存单元的数据,需要将BL2接高电平,WL2接低电平,使其他铁电存储单元中铁电电容无电势差。铁电电容极化方向翻转读出“0”,不翻转读出“1”,通过对应位线BL电压的不同变化,灵敏放大器区分出读取数据“0”或“1”。Operations of reading "1" and "0" from the ferroelectric memory cell 11: Data reading requires a sensitive amplifier connected to the BL side to amplify the bit line differential signal.

Figure 16 includes two memory cell arrays on the left and right, each memory cell array including 4×3=24 memory cells. For ease of distinction, the active area where the sources of the transistors of two adjacent rows are connected is divided into active areas 610 to 640. The active area 610 is connected to the sources of the transistors in the memory cells in the 1st and 2nd rows of the left memory cell array, and the active area 620 is connected to the sources of the transistors in the 3rd and 4th rows of the left memory cell array, The active area 630 is connected to the sources of the transistors in the memory cells in rows 1 and 2 of the right memory cell array, and the active area 640 is connected to the sources of the transistors in the memory cells in the 3rd and 4th rows of the right memory cell array.

The active area 630 and the active area 640 are connected together through the metal layer line LPL2, that is, the sources of the transistors of the right memory cell array are connected together through the metal layer line LPL2.

For example, the metal layer can be the metal layer 241 in Figure 16 or the metal layer 242 Or metal layer 240.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the local area source of the memory cell array is shared, there is no need to drill the source of each transistor of each memory cell in the memory cell array. It is only necessary to drill holes outside the memory cell array. For example, in Figure 17, the first two rows of memory cells in the left memory cell array only need one contact hole to connect the sources of the first two rows of memory cells to the metal layer, and the left and right two memory cell arrays only need 4 contact holes. The sources of 24 memory cells can be connected to the metal layer. Therefore, compared with the existing solution, the contact holes between the transistor layer 210 and the metal layer are reduced, and the area of the capacitors arranged in the unit area is increased.
应理解,本申请实施例中的金属层板线平行于位线方向仅为示意,而实际存储阵列中并不限制金属层中板线的排布方向,金属层板线也可以平行于字线方向,或者与位线存在一定的角度分布。It should be understood that the metal layer plate lines parallel to the direction of the bit lines in the embodiment of the present application are only illustrative.
