半导体存储器是一种利用半导体电路进行存取的存储器,其中,DRAM以其快速的存储速度和高集成度被广泛应用于各个领域。
在一些实施例中,在DRAM中设置校验电路,校验读取的数据是否准确,从而获得更高的数据读写可靠性,如图1所示的一种DRAM的局部结构示意图。图1所示的半导体结构包括:多个沿第一方向X并列排布的存储单元阵列10;多个读写控制电路RW和多个纠错码(Error Correcting
Code,ECC)校验电路,读写控制电路RW通过多条数据线与存储单元阵列10连接,用于控制向所述存储单元阵列10写入或读出数据;校验电路通过金属层(未在图中示出)与读写控制电路RW连接,从而获取存储单元阵列10的数据并对其进行校验。
参考图1,读写控制电路RW与ECC校验电路位于存储单元阵列10在垂直于第一方向X的第二方向Y上的一侧,且沿第一方向X交替排布。图1所示的半导体结构的布局方式,虽然使得半导体结构更加紧密,在一定程度上提高存储器的集成度,但是也造成了读写控制电路RW连接的数据线01与存储单元阵列10连接的数据线02在第二方向Y上不能一一对应,在这种情况下,读写控制电路RW与存储单元阵列10不能通过直线型的导线连接,还需要在两者之间的数据线进行跳线处理才能实现导通,如图1所示,在数据线01和数据线02之间增加导线03,使读写控制电路RW与存储单元阵列10之间的线路导通。这样使存储器的电路变得更加复杂,增大存储器制备工艺的难度;并且在数据线之间跳线会增大电路中的电阻,降低数据传输的速度,从而增大存储器的功耗,降低存储器的性能。
有鉴于此,本公开实施例提供一种半导体结构,版图结构以及存储器。
图2为本公开实施例提供的一种半存储块的半导体结构示意图。参考图2所示,该半导体结构,包括:
多个存储单元阵列10,所述存储单元阵列10沿第一方向X并列排布;
沿第一方向X并列排布的多个读写控制电路RW,位于存储单元阵列10在第二方向Y上的一侧且每一读写控制电路RW通过第一数据线04连接对应的一个存储单元阵列10,读写控制电路RW用于控制向所述存储单元阵列10写入或读出数据,第二方向Y垂直于所述第一方向X;
校验电路,位于读写控制电路RW远离所述存储单元阵列10的一侧且通过第二数据线05连接所述读写控制电路RW,校验电路用于对存储单元阵列10中的数据进行校验。
在本公开实施例中,存储单元阵列10用于存储数据,从而实现半导体存储器的存储功能。示例性地,存储单元阵列10中可以包括字线、位线和存储单元等等,存储单元中还进一步包括存储电容和晶体管,晶体管的控制端与字线连接,晶体管的第一端与存储电容连接,晶体管的第二端与位线连接。当字线控制晶体管导通时,存储电容与位线之间导通,从而实现
数据信息的读写,即,当进行数据信息的读取时,存储电容将存储的数据信息传输至位线;当进行数据信息的写入时,位线将待写入的数据信息发送至存储电容。本公开实施例中的多个存储单元阵列10沿第一方向X并列排布,构成一个存储块,该存储块可以是一个完整的存储体20(bank),也可以是存储体20(bank)的一半,还可以是其他,本公开实施例对此不作限制。
读写控制电路RW是与存储单元阵列10连接并控制存储单元阵列10进行数据读写的逻辑电路模块。例如,读写控制电路RW可以用于接收读写使能信号(如读使能信号RdEn和写使能信号WrEn),以及将要写入的数据发送至存储单元阵列10或者接收读取的数据,从而实现控制存储单元阵列10写入或读出数据的功能。示例性地,在读写操作期间,读写控制电路RW可以根据写使能信号WrEn执行写入操作以将数据存储到由地址选择的存储单元阵列10中,并且根据读使能信号RdEn执行读取操作以输出存储单元阵列10中存储的数据。
每个读写控制电路RW可以通过第一数据线04连接对应的一个存储单元阵列10,通过第二数据线05连接校验电路,从而实现与存储单元阵列10和校验电路进行数据交互,进而将从存储单元阵列10中写入或读出的数据传输至校验电路。第一数据线04可以是连接至存储单元阵列10,并用于向每个存储单元所连接的电路提供写入数据的信号线。示例性地,可以将要写入的数据通过第一数据线04传递至存储单元所连接的位线,并在写入过程中将位线上的信号进一步传递至存储单元。
校验电路与读写控制电路RW连接,并可以获取从存储单元阵列10读出或要写入存储单元阵列10的数据并进行相应的运算,进而校验存储单元阵列10中的数据信息是否准确,并输出校验结果,从而提高存储单元阵列10的数据读写可靠性。每个校验电路可以用于校验一个或多个存储阵列的数据信息。在本公开实施例中,校验电路可以是奇偶校验电路或者纠错码ECC校验电路,也可以是其他的一种校验电路或多种组合的校验电路等,对此不作限定。
在一实施例中,校验电路具体可以为ECC校验电路,用于存储器和处理器之间传输数据的检错纠错。具体地,在存储器向处理器中传输数据的过程中,当数据从存储器输出时,生成传输数据的ECC校验码,当数据传输至处理器,基于ECC校验码对传输数据进行检错纠错,进行检错纠错后,
舍弃ECC校验码并输出纠正后的数据。在处理器向存储器中传输数据的过程中,当数据从处理器输出时,生成传输数据的ECC校验码,当传输数据传输至存储器,基于ECC校验码对传输数据进行检错纠错,进行检错纠错后,舍弃ECC校验码并输出纠正后的数据。
在本公开实施例中,存储单元阵列10沿第一方向X并列排布;读写控制电路RW位于存储单元阵列10在第二方向Y上的一侧且沿第一方向X并列排布;校验电路位于读写控制电路RW远离所述存储单元阵列10的一侧。
本公开实施例通过将校验电路设置于读写控制电路RW远离存储单元阵列10的一侧,使得每个读写控制电路RW与其对应的存储单元阵列10在第二方向Y上一一对应,使得存储单元阵列10与读写控制电路RW可以通过直线型导线实现连接。相比于将校验电路与读写控制电路RW交替摆放的方式,本公开实施例的设置优化了读写控制电路RW与存储单元阵列10之间的连接线路,从而降低存储器的制备工艺难度,同时降低存储器在数据传输过程中的功耗,提高数据传输的速度。
在一些实施例中,如图3所示,每个存储单元阵列10连接多条沿第二方向Y延伸的第一数据线04;
读写控制电路RW包括多个子电路06,每个子电路06通过一条所述第一数据线04连接读写控制电路RW对应的存储单元阵列10。
在本公开实施例中,每个存储单元阵列10包括多个存储单元,为保证存储单元阵列10写入或读出数据的效率,每个存储单元阵列10通过多条第一数据线04与读写控制电路RW连接。存储单元阵列10可以通过第一数据线04接收要写入的数据或者输出存储的数据。本公开实施例中每个存储单元阵列10连接的多条第一数据线04沿第一方向X并列排布,且第一数据线04为沿第二方向Y延伸的直线型导线。
读写控制电路RW中的子电路06是与存储单元阵列10连接并控制存储单元阵列10进行数据读写的逻辑电路模块。读写控制电路RW中的子电路06位于其对应的存储单元阵列10在第二方向Y的一侧,多个子电路06沿第一方向X并列排布,存储单元阵列10连接的多条第一数据线04与其对应的读写控制电路RW中的子电路06在第二方向Y上一一对应,每个子电路06通过一条第一数据线04连接读写控制电路RW对应的存储单元阵列10,从而读写控制电路RW可以通过多条第一数据线04
接收读取的数据或者存储单元阵列10将要写入的数据发送至存储单元阵列10。
本公开通过使存储单元阵列10连接的第一数据线04与读写控制电路RW中的子电路06在第二方向Y上一一对应,使得沿第二方向Y延伸的直线型的第一数据线04可以连接存储单元阵列10与读写控制电路RW。由于读写控制电路RW位于其对应的存储单元阵列10在第二方向Y上的一侧,本公开的设置进一步优化了读写控制电路RW与存储单元阵列10之间的连接线路,降低存储器的制备工艺难度。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,校验电路至少包括:
多个第一级校验单元11,第一级校验单元11连接至少一个读写控制电路RW,用于对读写控制电路RW读取的数据或待写入的数据进行校验,得到第一级校验结果;
其中,第一级校验单元11位于读写控制电路RW远离存储单元阵列10的一侧且沿第一方向X排布。
第一级校验单元11是与读写控制电路RW连接并对读写控制电路RW读取的数据或待写入的数据进行校验的计算电路模块,第一级校验单元11通过第二数据线05连接读写控制电路RW,每个第一级校验单元11可以连接一个或者多个读写控制电路RW,并对其所连接的一个或多个读写控制电路RW中读取的数据或待写入的数据进行校验,得到第一级校验结果。示例性的,如果第一级校验单元11连接两个读写控制电路RW,则在一次校验过程中,同时对两个读写控制电路RW对应的两个存储单元阵列10中的数据进行校验,得到第一级校验结果。
第一级校验单元11位于读写控制电路RW远离存储单元阵列10的一侧,第一级校验单元11可以沿第一方向X并列排布,也可以沿第一方向X分散排布。在本公开实施例中,第一校验单元12-1沿第一方向X分散排布,使得每个第一级校验单元11尽可能靠近与其对应的读写控制电路RW,从而缩短第一级校验单元11与读写控制电路RW之间的连接线路,减小线路中的电阻,从而降低存储器在数据传输过程中的功耗;同时使得第一级校验单元11与读写控制电路RW之间的连接更加容易实现,优化读写控制电路RW与第一级校验单元11之间的连接线路,降低存储器的制备工艺难度。
需要说明的是,第一级校验单元11在一次校验过程中能够校验的数据
是有限的,可以根据第一级校验单元11每次能够校验的数据的字节数以及每个存储单元阵列10所能储存的数据的字节数,来确定一个第一级校验单元11一次能够校验的存储单元阵列10的数量,进而确定一个第一级校验单元11连接的读写控制电路RW的数量。例如,每个存储单元阵列10一次读或一次写16比特数据,第一级校验单元11每次可以同时对32比特数据进行校验,则每个第一级校验单元11一次可以校验2个存储单元阵列10中的数据,因此,每个第一级校验单元11可以连接2个读写控制电路RW,对这2个读写控制电路RW连接的2个存储单元阵列10中的数据进行校验,得到第一级校验结果。
另一方面,也可以根据第一级校验单元11每次能够校验的数据量,以及存储块中的所有存储单元阵列10一次读或一次写的数据量,来确定存储体20所需的第一级校验单元11的数量。例如,半个存储体20中包含8个存储单元阵列10,每个存储单元阵列10能够一次读或一次写16比特数据,即一次读或一次写128比特数据,第一级校验单元11每次可以同时对32字节数据进行校验,则该半个存储体20需要4个第一级校验单元11。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,所述校验电路还包括:
至少一个第二级校验单元12,连接至少一个第一级校验单元11,用于对第一级校验结果进行校验,得到第二级校验结果;
其中,第二级校验单元12与第一级校验单元11沿第一方向X交替排布,或第二级校验单元12位于第一级校验单元11远离读写控制电路RW的一侧。
需要说明的是,校验电路每次能够校验的数据是有限的,为了提高校验电路的校验速度和校验效率,以保证半导体存储器中数据读写可靠性,校验电路中可以通过设置不同等级的校验单元对存储单元中的数据进行多次校验。
在本实施例中,如图4所示,校验电路包括第一级校验单元11和第二级校验单元12,第一级校验单元11是与读写控制电路RW连接并对读写控制电路RW读取的数据或待写入的数据进行校验的计算电路模块,第二级校验单元12是与第一级校验单元11连接并对第一级校验结果进行校验的计算电路模块。示例性地,校验电路中的第一级校验单元11首先对存储单元阵列10中的数据进行校验,得到第一级校验结果;第一级校验单元11通过第三数据线07与第二级校验单元12连接,并通过第三数据线07将第
一级校验结果传输至第二级校验单元12,然后第二级校验单元12对第一校验结果进行校验,得到第二级校验结果。
在本公开实施例中,如图4所示,第二级校验单元12与第一级校验单元11均位于读写控制电路RW远离所述存储单元阵列10的一侧,且第二级校验单元12与第一级校验单元11沿第一方向X交替排布,使第二级校验单元12位于其连接的第一级校验单元11之间,从而缩短第二级校验单元12与第一级校验单元11之间的连接线路,减小线路中的电阻,从而降低存储器在数据传输过程中的功耗;同时使得第二级校验单元12与第一级校验单元11之间的连接更加容易实现,优化第二级校验单元12与第一级校验单元11之间的连接线路,降低存储器的制备工艺难度。
在一示例中,如图5所示,第一级校验单元11位于读写控制电路RW远离存储单元阵列10的一侧,第二级校验单元12位于第一级校验单元11远离所述读写控制电路RW的一侧,使读写控制电路RW,第一级校验单元11与第二级校验单元12沿第二方向Y依次排布。其中,第一级校验单元11与读写控制电路RW通过第二数据线05连接,第二级校验单元12与第一级校验单元11通过第三数据线07连接,第二数据线05与第三数据线07的走线方向相同。示例性的,第二数据线05与第三数据线07均沿第二方向Y延伸,有利于在同一个制程工艺中同时形成第二数据线05和第三数据线07,从而简化工艺流程。
需要说明的是,第二级校验单元12可以连接一个第一级校验单元11,也可以连接多个第一级校验单元11。第二级校验单元12每次能够校验的数据是有限的,通过第二级校验单元12每次能够校验的数据的字节数以及第一级校验结果中的数据的字节数,来确定第二级校验单元12所连接的第一级校验单元11的数量。例如,第一级校验单元11每次可以校验32字节数据,即第一级校验单元11中包括该32字节数据的第一级校验结果;如果第二级校验单元12每次可以校验64字节数据的第一级校验结果,则每个第二级校验单元12可以连接两个第一级校验单元11。
在一些实施例中,所述校验电路还包括:
校验存储单元,与第二级校验单元12连接,用于存储第二级校验结果中的最终校验结果。
校验存储单元是一个逻辑电路模块,可以控制将校验电路中的最终校验结果存储到对应的存储单元阵列10中。在存储器向处理器中传输数据的
过程中,当数据从存储器输出时,校验电路对数据进行校验并生成最终校验结果;当数据传输至处理器,基于最终校验结果对传输的数据进行检错纠错,进行检错纠错后,舍弃最终校验结果并输出纠正后的数据。
在本实施例中,校验电路首先通过连接的第一级校验单元11对存储单元阵列10中的数据进行校验,得到第一级校验结果;再通过第二级校验单元12对第一校验结果进行校验,得到第二级校验结果,第二级校验结果中至少包括一个最终校验结果;第二级校验单元12通过第四数据线与校验存储单元连接,并通过第四数据线将第二级校验结果中的最终校验结构传输至校验存储单元,校验存储单元接收并存储第二级校验结果中的最终校验结果;最后,校验存储单元控制将最终的校验结果存储到对应的存储单元阵列10中。
在一些实施例中,所述半导体结构,还包括:第一金属层和第二金属层;第二金属层位于第一金属层上层;
第一级校验单元11与读写控制电路RW通过位于所述第一金属层的导线连接;
第二级校验单元12与其他校验电路通过位于所述第二金属层的导线连接。
第一金属层和第二金属层主要用于作为导体,可以导通读写控制电路,第一级校验单元以及第二级校验单元之间的连接。第一金属层和第二金属层的材料包括但不限于钛、钽、钯、镍、铂、钴、钨、锆、钼,可以通过化学气相沉积(Chemical Vapor Deposition,CVD)、原子层沉积(Atomic Layer Deposition,ALD)或物理气相沉积(Physical Vapor Deposition,PVD)等形成。
如图4所示,第一级校验单元11通过多条第二数据线05与读写控制电路RW连接;第二级校验单元12通过第三数据线07与其他校验电路连接,其他校验电路包括第一级校验单元11以及其他第二级校验单元12。这里,第二数据线05可以是位于第一金属层中的导线,第三数据线07可以是位于第二金属层的导线,即第一级校验单元11与读写控制电路RW通过位于第一金属层的导线连接,第二级校验单元12与其他校验电路通过位于第二金属层的导线连接。
示例性的,如图4所示,第一级校验单元11位于读写控制电路RW在第二方向上的一侧,连接第一级校验单元11与读写控制电路RW的第二数
据线05可以沿第二方向Y延伸;第二级校验电路与第一级校验电路沿第一方向X交替排布,第二级校验单元12与其他校验电路(第一级校验单元11或其他第二级校验单元12)的第三数据线07可以沿第一方向X延伸,因此,图4所示半导体结构中的第二数据线05和第三数据线07相互垂直。
通过不同层的金属层作为导体来实现读写控制电路RW与校验电路之间的连接,以及校验电路之间的连接,可以减少存储器中不同线路之间的短路以及电路之间的耦合效应,进而提高存储器的性能。
在一些实施例中,第一级校验单元11与读写控制电路RW通过第一金属层中的至少一个第一导线08连接,第一导线08沿所述第二方向Y延伸;
第二级校验单元12与其他校验电路通过第二金属层中的至少一个第二导线09连接,第二导线09沿第一方向X延伸。
如图4所示,本实施例中的读写控制电路RW位于存储单元阵列10在第二方向Y上的一侧,第一级校验单元11位于读写控制电路RW远离存储单元阵列10的一侧,即第一级校验单元11位于读写控制电路RW在第二方向Y上的一侧,因此,第一级校验单元11可以通过沿第二方向Y延伸的导线连接读写控制电路RW。本实施例中的第一级校验单元11和第二级校验单元12沿第一方向X交替排布,因此,第二校验单元12-2可以通过沿第一方向X延伸的导线连接第一级校验单元11或其他第二级校验单元12。
在本实施例中,如图4所示,在第一金属层中布置沿第二方向Y延伸的第一导线08,在第二金属层布置沿第一方向X延伸的第二导线09,第一级校验单元11与读写控制电路RW通过第一金属层中的一个或者多个第一导线08连接,第一导线08可以将读写控制电路RW读取的数据或待写入的数据传输至第一级校验单元11;第二级校验单元12与其他校验电路(第一级校验单元11或者其他第二级校验单元12)通过第二金属层中的一个或多个第二导线09连接,第二导线09可以实现第二级校验单元12与第一级校验单元11之间的数据交互,以及多个第二级校验单元12之间的数据交互。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,第一级校验单元11连接两个相邻的读写控制电路RW。
在本实施例中,第一级校验单元11可以同时对两个存储单元阵列10中的数据进行校验,每个存储单元阵列10通过一个读写控制电路RW将数
据传输至第一级校验单元11,因此,第一级校验单元11通过连接两个读写控制电路RW,对两个存储单元阵列10中的数据同时进行校验。
在本实施例中,第一级校验单元11连接的两个读写控制电路RW相邻,可以缩短第一级校验单元11与读写控制电路RW之间的连接线路,减小电路中的电阻。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,多个第二级校验单元12包括:至少一个第一校验单元12-1和至少一个第二校验单元12-2;

在本实施例中,如图4所示,校验电路通过第一级校验单元11,第一校验单元12-1以及第二校验单元12-2对存储单元阵列10中的数据进行校验。具体地,校验电路首先通过第一级校验单元11对存储单元阵列10中的数据进行校验,得到第一级校验结果;第一级校验单元11通过第三数据线07与第二级校验单元12中的第一校验单元12-1连接,并通过第三数据线07将第一级校验结果传输至第一校验单元12-1,第一校验对第一级校验结果进行第一校验;第二级校验单元12中的第一校验单元12-1通过第五数据线与第二校验单元12-2连接,并通过第五数据线将第一校验的结果传输至第二校验单元12-2,第二校验单元12-2对第一校验的结果进行第二校验,并输出最终校验结果。

在本实施例中,如图4所示,第一级校验单元11可以同时对两个存储单元阵列10中的数据进行校验,每个存储单元阵列10通过一个读写控制电路RW将数据传输至第一级校验单元11,因此,本实施例中的每个第一级校验单元11连接两个相邻的读写控制电路RW,第一级校验单元11通过读写控制电路RW获取其对应的存储单元阵列10中的数据,对两个存储单元阵列10中的数据同时进行校验,得到第一级校验结果。

子字线驱动器13与存储单元阵列10沿第一方向X交替排布;子字线驱动器13用于控制存储单元阵列10中的字线。
在半导体装置中,字线可以用作传送驱动存储器单元的一个或多个单元晶体管所需的栅极电压的导线。单元晶体管可以响应于字线的电位状态
而操作,使得可以通过单元晶体管将数据写入存储器单元或从存储器单元读取数据。随着芯片尺寸和芯片的存储器容量的增加,由此类字线引起的线延迟可以被认为是限制半导体装置的操作速度的最重要的延迟因素之一。为了使此类字线的线延迟最小化,将长字线划分为多条子字线,通过子字线驱动器13控制每条子字线。
