- the material of the second redundant gate 300 is the same as that of the gate 120 of the first transistor M1, both of which are polysilicon, so as to balance the weight distribution of polysilicon in the entire region including the two first transistor groups 100 adjacent to each other; in addition, the second redundant gate 300 is disposed at the edge position in the first direction Y during the process, which can also improve the accuracy of the position of the gate 120 of the first transistor M1 and reduce the influence of the optical proximity effect.
- the second redundant gate 300 has a second conductive portion 112 on one side along the second direction X. Since the second conductive portion 112 is disposed at a position close to the first transistor group 100, in order to prevent the second conductive portion 112 from being too close to the second redundant gate 300, the size of part of the second redundant gate 300 may be shortened along the second direction X, and one end of part of the second redundant gate 300 having the second conductive portion 112 on one side along the second direction X adjacent to the second conductive portion 112 may be disposed at a state far from the second conductive portion 112, so as to help prevent the second redundant gate 300 from affecting the second conductive portion 112. In some embodiments, in the second direction X, the distance between the second redundant gate 300 and the second conductive portion 112 is equal to the first length, or equal to the difference between the first length and the second length.
- the memory layout further includes: a third conductive portion 113, the third conductive portion 113 is located on a side of the second transistor group 200 away from the first transistor group 100, and the third conductive portion 113 is connected to the gate of the adjacent second transistor group 200 that is not connected to the first conductive portion 111.
- the two second transistor groups 200 corresponding to the first transistor group 100 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first transistor group 100, the two third conductive portions 113 located on both sides of the first transistor M1 are also symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first transistor group 100, which is conducive to improving the symmetry of the memory layout, and further conducive to improving the performance of the memory.
- the memory layout further includes: a switch control area, the switch control area includes an amplifying module 12, and along the second direction X, the amplifying module 12 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, and the length from the first side to the edge of the adjacent switch control area is the same as the length from the second side to the edge of the adjacent switch control area.
- the remaining switch control areas on both sides of the amplifying module 12 are also symmetrically distributed, which is conducive to improving the symmetry of the memory layout, and thus is conducive to improving the performance of the memory.
- the two second transistor groups are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first transistor group, which is conducive to improving the symmetry of the memory layout.
- one first transistor in the first transistor group is connected to the second transistor and the third transistor located on one side of the first transistor group, and another first transistor in the first transistor group is connected to the second transistor and the third transistor located on the other side of the first transistor group, so that the two connecting lines between the first transistor group and the second transistor groups on both sides extend toward the opposite sides away from the first transistor group, which is conducive to further improving the symmetry of the memory layout, and thus is conducive to improving the performance of the memory.

图1为一种存储器电路的部分等效电路结构示意图。
存储器包括多个存储阵列,每个存储阵列中都包含多个存储单元,存储单元可以是一开关晶体管和一单元电容器构成的1T1C(1transistor 1capacitance)结构。此外,参考图1,存储器还可以包括感测放大器10、输入/输出电路11、放大模块12、预充电单元14以及本地放大器13。放大模块12也可以被称之为中间放大模块。
开关晶体管中源极或漏极其中一者连接单元电容器,另一者连接位线BL/互补位线BLB,字线WL连接开关晶体管的栅极,用于选择导通相应开关晶体管的栅极,使单元电容器与位线BL/互补位线BLB连接,从而实现将位线BL/互补位线BLB中的电信号写入单元电容器中,或实现将单元电容器中的电信号读出到位线BL/互补位线BLB中。
感测放大器10连接在位线BL和互补位线BLB之间,感测放大器10用于放大位线
BL和互补位线BLB之间的电压差。
输入/输出电路11包括:输入/输出晶体管,输入/输出晶体管源极或漏极其中一者连接位线BL/互补位线BLB,另一者连接本地数据线LIO/互补本地数据线LIOB,输入/输出晶体管的栅极用于接收列选择信号CSL,并根据列选择信号CSL,选择导通与列选择信号CSL相应的输入/输出晶体管,以使位线BL/互补位线BLB与本地数据线LIO/互补本地数据线LIOB连接,从而实现位线BL/互补位线BLB与本地数据线LIO/互补本地数据线LIOB的数据传递。
本地数据线LIO通过本地放大器13连接全局数据线Yio,从而实现本地数据线LIO与全局数据线Yio之间的数据传输,互补本地数据线LIOB通过本地放大器13连接互补全局数据线YioN,以实现互补本地数据线LIOB与互补全局数据线YioN之间的数据传输。
预充电单元14串接于本地数据线LIO和互补本地数据线LIOB之间,以使本地数据线LIO和互补本地数据线LIOB预充电至中间电位。
存储器电路包括多组本地数据线LIO以及互补本地数据线LIOB,本地数据线LIO以及互补本地数据线LIOB上的信号在传输过程中,可能由于线路之间的干扰等原因造成一定的损耗,进而使得信号失真,影响存储器的性能,放大模块12串接于本地数据线LIO和互补本地数据线LIOB之间,用于对本地数据线LIO以及互补本地数据线LIOB之间的电压差进行放大,以弥补信号传输过程中造成的损耗,进而提高存储器电路系统的稳定性。
图2为相关技术中一种放大模块的部分电路结构示意图。
参考图1和图2,相关技术中,放大模块12包括多个第一晶体管m1、多个第二晶体管m2以及多个第三晶体管m3,第一晶体管m1、第二晶体管m2以及第三晶体管m3均为PMOS(Positive channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor,P沟道金属氧化物半导体)管。第二晶体管m2和第三晶体管m3组成一个晶体管组15,第一晶体管m1的源极用于接收供电电压VCC,第一晶体管m1的栅极用于接收读出控制信号RdEnN,晶体管组15中,第二晶体管m2的漏极与相应的本地数据线LIO相连接,第三晶体管m3的漏极与相应的互补本地数据线LIOB相连接,且第二晶体管m2的漏极与第三晶体管m3的栅极相连接,第三晶体管m3的漏极与第二晶体管m2的栅极相连接。其中,第一晶体管m1的数量和晶体管组15的数量不同,即第一晶体管m1的数量可以小于或大于晶体管组15的数量,例如,放大模块12可以包括4个第一晶体管m1、8个第二晶体管m2以及8个第三晶体管m3,即放大模块12包括4个第一晶体管m1和8个晶体管组15,由于第二晶体管m2与第三晶体管m3组成的晶体管组15与第一晶体管m1并非一一对应的关系,所以通常利用一条导线引出至少一个第一晶体管m1的漏极或者将多个并联的第一晶体管m1的漏极相连接,再将多个晶体管组15分
别与第一晶体管的引出线相连接,相当于多个晶体管15共用同一第一晶体管m1或者说共用多个第一晶体管m1构成的晶体管组。如此,不仅无法实现第一晶体管m1对晶体管组15的一对一控制,也不利于第一晶体管m1与晶体管组15在存储器的版图布局中实现对称排布。
为解决上述问题,本公开实施例提供了一种存储器电路以及存储器版图,存储器电路中的放大模块包括多个元件相同的放大单元,存储器包括多组本地数据线和互补本地数据线,每一组本地数据线和互补本地数据线之间均串接有对应的一组放大单元,每个放大单元中均包括第一晶体管、第二晶体管以及第三晶体管,不同放大单元中的晶体管相互独立,即不共用,若定义同一放大单元内的第二晶体管和第三晶体管为一晶体管组,利用第一晶体管分别向第二晶体管的源极以及第三晶体管的源极传输电压信号,即实现一个第一晶体管对相应的一个晶体管组的一对一控制,有利于提高控制存储器电路的精确性。存储器版图中,使两个第二晶体管组对称分布在第一晶体管组的两侧,有利于提高存储器版图布局的对称性。此外,第一晶体管组中的一个第一晶体管与位于第一晶体管组一侧的第二晶体管和第三晶体管相连接,第一晶体管组中的另一个第一晶体管与位于第一晶体管组另一侧的第二晶体管和第三晶体管相连接,使得第一晶体管组与两侧的第二晶体管组之间的两条连线分别朝远离第一晶体管组的相对两侧延伸,有利于进一步提高存储器版图布局的对称性,进而有利于提升存储器的性能。
下面将结合附图对本公开各实施例进行详细的阐述。然而,本领域的普通技术人员可以理解,在本公开各实施例中,为了使读者更好地理解本公开实施例而提出了许多技术细节。但是,即使没有这些技术细节和基于以下各实施例的种种变化和修改,也可以实现本公开实施例所要求保护的技术方案。
图3为本公开一实施例提供的一种放大模块的部分电路结构示意图。需要说明的是,图3对多组本地数据线与互补本地数据线进行了省略,仅对一组本地数据线与互补本地数据线进行了图示。
参考图1和图3,本公开实施例一方面提供一种存储器电路,包括:放大模块12,放大模块12包括多个元件相同的放大单元20,每一放大单元20串接于对应的一组本地数据线LIO和互补本地数据线LIOB之间,以放大本地数据线LIO和互补本地数据线LIOB之间的电压差。
存储器电路中,由于噪声等信号干扰因素的存在,可能导致本地数据线LIO或者互补本地数据线LIOB所传输的信号产生一定的损耗,使得本地数据线LIO或者互补本地数据线LIOB所传输的信号失真,信号失真可能降低存储器的性能,甚至导致读出错误的数据,放大模块12用于对本地数据线LIO以及互补本地数据线LIOB之间的电压差进行放大,以
弥补信号传输规程中造成的损耗,进而提高存储器电路系统的稳定性。
放大模块12中放大单元20的数量由成组的本地数据线LIO以及互补本地数据线LIOB的数量所决定,在一个例子中,存储器电路可以包括8组本地数据线LIO以及互补本地数据线LIOB,则相应的,放大模块12包括8个放大单元20。
参考图3,每一放大单元20包括:第一晶体管M1、第二晶体管M2以及第三晶体管M3,第一晶体管M1、第二晶体管M2以及第三晶体管M3均为PMOS管。放大模块12中,第一晶体管M1的数量与第二晶体管M2的数量以及第三晶体管M3的数量均相同。第一晶体管M1的源极用于接收供电电压VCC,第一晶体管M1的栅极用于接收读出控制信号RdEnN,第一晶体管M1的漏极分别与第二晶体管M2的源极以及第三晶体管M3的源极相连接。若定义放大单元20内的第二晶体管M2和第三晶体管M3组成一个晶体管组16,读出控制信号有效时,放大模块12中的一个第一晶体管M1向一个晶体管组16传输供电电压VCC,即实现第一晶体管M1对晶体管组16的一对一控制,有利于提高控制存储器电路的精确性。
继续参考图3,第二晶体管M2的漏极与相应的本地数据线LIO相连接,第三晶体管M3的漏极与相应的互补本地数据线LIOB相连接,且第二晶体管M2的漏极与第三晶体管M3的栅极相连接,第三晶体管M3的漏极与第二晶体管M2的栅极相连接。当第一晶体管M1的栅极接收到的读出控制信号有效时,第一晶体管M1导通,将供电电压VCC传输至第二晶体管M2的源极以及第三晶体管M3的源极,若本地数据线LIO传输高电平信号,互补本地数据线LIOB传输低电平信号,与本地数据线LIO相连接的第三晶体管M3的栅极接收到高电平信号,第三晶体管M3截止,与互补本地数据线LIOB相连接的第二晶体管M2的栅极接收到低电平信号,第二晶体管M2导通,并将供电电压VCC传输至本地数据线LIO,通过正反馈对本地数据线LIO所传输的高电平信号进行放大。
上述实施例提供的存储器电路中,放大模块12包括多个元件相同的放大单元20,放大单元20中的第一晶体管M1对晶体管组16进行一对一控制,进而实现放大单元20对相应的一组本地数据线LIO以及互补本地数据线LIOB进行放大,有利于提高控制存储器电路的精确性。
本公开实施例另一方面还提供一种存储器版图,存储器版图可以应用于上述实施例提供的存储器电路,下面将结合附图对本公开实施例提供存储器版图进行详细说明,需要说明的是,与前述实施例相同或相应的部分可以参考前述实施例,以下将不做赘述。

的结构示意图;图7为本公开一实施例提供的另一种存储器版图的结构示意图;图8为本公开一实施例提供的另一种存储器版图的结构示意图。
参考图1、图3以及图4,存储器版图包括:放大模块12,放大模块12包括多个元件相同的放大单元20,每一放大单元20串接于对应的一组本地数据线LIO和互补本地数据线LIOB之间,以放大本地数据线LIO和互补本地数据线LIOB之间的电压差;每一放大单元20包括:第一晶体管M1、第二晶体管M2以及第三晶体管M3,其中,第一晶体管M1的漏极分别与第二晶体管M2的源极以及第三晶体管M3的源极相连接。
放大模块12用于对本地数据线LIO以及互补本地数据线LIOB之间的电压差进行放大,以弥补信号传输规程中造成的损耗,进而保证提高存储器电路系统的稳定性。放大模块12中,放大单元20与本地数据线LIO以及互补本地数据线LIOB的连接关系、放大单元20中第一晶体管M1、第二晶体管M2以及第三晶体管M3的连接关系可以参考前述实施例以及图1和图3。
参考图4,存储器版图中,两个相互独立的第一晶体管M1组成一个第一晶体管组100,多个第一晶体管组100沿第一方向Y排布。
在一些实施例中,第一方向Y可以为存储器版图中位线的延伸方向。
参考图3和图4,与第一晶体管M1相连接的第二晶体管M2和第三晶体管M3组成一个第二晶体管组200,第一晶体管组100沿第二方向X上的相对两侧均设置有一第二晶体管组200,且沿第二方向X上,第一晶体管组100的两个第一晶体管M1中,一个第一晶体管M1与相邻一侧的第二晶体管组200内的第二晶体管M2和第三晶体管M3相连接,另一个第一晶体管M1与相邻另一侧的第二晶体管组200内的第二晶体管M2和第三晶体管M3相连接,第二方向X垂直于第一方向Y。如此,两个第二晶体管组200对称分布在第一晶体管组100的两侧,有利于提高存储器版图布局的对称性。此外,位于第一晶体管组100的相对两侧的不同第二晶体管组200中,第二晶体管M2朝向第三晶体管M3的方向相反,第一晶体管组100与两侧的第二晶体管组200之间的两条连线分别朝远离第一晶体管组100的相对两侧延伸,有利于进一步提高存储器版图布局的对称性,进而有利于提升存储器的性能。
需要说明的是,沿第二方向上,位于第一晶体管组100相对两侧的两个第二晶体管组200为第一晶体管组100所对应的两个第二晶体管组200,第一晶体管组100至所对应的两个第二晶体管组200距离均相同。
在一些实施例中,参考图4,第一晶体管组100中的两个第一晶体管M1具有一共用的第一有源区110。如此,可以在有限的空间内,使第一晶体管M1的尺寸最大化,有利于提升存储器的性能,并且,有利于改善同一第一晶体管组100中,两个第一晶体管M1之间
的间隔区域对空间的浪费,有利于提升版图的利用效率。在另一些实施例中,参考图5,第一晶体管组100中的两个第一晶体管M1的有源区121相互分立设置。
参考图4,第一晶体管组100中的两个第一晶体管M1具有一共用的第一有源区110,第一有源区110包括共源区131以及与共源区131间隔排布且位于共源区131两侧的漏区130,其中,漏区130为第一晶体管M1的漏极,共源区131为两个第一晶体管M1共用的源极。
在一些实施例中,参考图4,第二晶体管组200中的一个第二晶体管M2和一个第三晶体管M3具有一共用的第二有源区210。如此,可以在有限的空间内,使第二晶体管M2的尺寸以及第三晶体管M3的尺寸最大化,有利于提升存储器的性能,并且,有利于改善同一第二晶体管组200中,第二晶体管M2与第三晶体管M3之间的间隔区域对空间的浪费,有利于提升版图的利用效率。在另一些实施例中,参考图6,第二晶体管组200中,第二晶体管M2的有源区221和第三晶体管M3的有源区231相互分立设置。
在一些实施例中,参考图4,第一晶体管组100的两个第一晶体管M1的栅极120在第一有源区110上沿第一方向Y间隔排布,第二晶体管组200的第二晶体管M2的栅极220和第三晶体管M3的栅极230在第二有源区210上沿第一方向Y间隔排布,且第一晶体管M1的栅极120、第二晶体管M2的栅极220以及第三晶体管M3的栅极230均沿第二方向X延伸。
在一些实施例中,参考图4,沿第二方向X上,位于第一晶体管组100相对两侧的两个第二晶体管组200中,一个第二晶体管组200所对应的第二有源区210与另一个第二晶体管组200所对应的第二有源区210在第二方向X上相互对齐。即位于第一晶体管组100两侧的两个第二晶体管组200中,一个第二晶体管组200指向另一个第二晶体管组200的方向平行于第二方向X。可以理解的是,在另一些实施例中,位于第一晶体管组100两侧的两个第二晶体管组200中,一个第二晶体管组200指向另一个第二晶体管组200的方向也可以与第二方向X不同,即两个第二晶体管组200呈角对角对称分布。
参考图7,在一些实施例中,第二有源区210包括依次间隔排布的第一漏区I、共源区II以及第二漏区III,其中,第一漏区I为第二晶体管M2的漏极,第二漏区III为第三晶体管M3的漏极,共源区II为第二晶体管M2和第三晶体管M3共用的源极;存储器版图还包括:多个第一走线101,一第一走线101用于连接第一晶体管M1的漏极和一相邻的共源区II。如此,由第一晶体管组100引出的两条第一走线101分别向第一晶体管组100的相对两侧延伸,即第一晶体管组100引出的两条第一走线101也呈对称分布,有利于提升存储器版图布局的对称性,进而有利于提升存储器的性能。
需要说明的是,第一走线101为位于第一导电层的导线,第一导电层位于第一晶体
管组以及第二晶体管组的上方,且第一走线101通过导电插塞与第一晶体管M1的漏极相连接,以及通过导电插塞与共源区II连接。
在一些实施例中,参考图7,沿第二方向X上,位于第一晶体管组100相对两侧的两个第二晶体管组200中,一个第二晶体管组200的第二晶体管M2与另一个第二晶体管组200的第二晶体管M2在第二方向X上相互对齐,一个第二晶体管组200的第三晶体管M3与另一个第二晶体管组200的第三晶体管M3在第二方向X上相互对齐。即位于第一晶体管组100相对两侧的两个第二晶体管组200中,一个第二晶体管组200的第二晶体管M2与另一个第二晶体管组200的第二晶体管M2以A-A1为对称轴对称分布,A-A1可以是沿第一方向Y排布的不同第一晶体管组100的中心点连线的延长线。
在一些实施例中,参考图4,沿第二方向X上,位于第一晶体管组100相对两侧的两个第二晶体管组200中,一个第二晶体管组200的第二晶体管M2与另一个第二晶体管组200的第三晶体管M3在第二方向X上相互对齐。即位于第一晶体管组100相对两侧的两个第二晶体管组200中,不同第二晶体管组200中的两个第二晶体管M2呈角对角对称分布。
在一些实施例中,参考图7,存储器版图还包括:多个第一导电部111,第一导电部111位于第二晶体管组200与第一晶体管组100之间,且第一导电部111与相邻的第二晶体管M2的栅极220电连接,或者第一导电部111与相邻的第三晶体管M3的栅极230电连接。需要说明的是,图7以第一导电部111与相邻的第三晶体管M3的栅极230电连接为例进行了图示。可以理解的是,由于与第一晶体管组100相对应的两个第二晶体管组200呈对称分布,因此,位于第一晶体管M1两侧的两个第一导电部111也呈对称分布,有利于提升存储器版图布局的对称性,进而有利于提升存储器的性能。
在一些实施例中,参考图7,存储器版图还包括:与第一晶体管M1的栅极120电连接的第二导电部112,第二导电部112沿第一方向Y延伸,且部分第二导电部112至少位于第一导电部111与第一晶体管组100之间;沿第二方向X上,第一导电部111远离邻近的第二晶体管组200的一侧至邻近的第二晶体管组200的长度为第一长度L1,第二导电部112远离邻近的第一晶体管组100的一侧至邻近的第一晶体管组100的长度为第二长度L2,第一长度L1大于第二长度L2。由于第一晶体管组100和第二晶体管组200之间的空间有限,将第二导电部112设置在距离第一晶体管组100较近的位置,有利于实现将第一导电部111设置在距离第二晶体管组200较远的位置,从而减弱因第一导电部111和第二晶体管M2的栅极220过近所造成的影响,提升器件性能。并且,将第一导电部111和第二导电部112均设置在第一晶体管组100和第二晶体管组200之间,有利于提升版图的利用率。
在一些实施例中,第二导电部112的端部具有与第二导电部112相连接的弯折部114。
弯折部114增大了第二导电部112的尺寸,具有弯折部114的第二导电部112使得导电插塞可以设置在弯折部114以及第二导电部112上,相较于仅在第二导电部112上设置导电插塞,有利于增大导电插塞的尺寸,进而有利于降低导电插塞的导通电阻,提升存储器的性能。
在一些实施例中,参考图8,第二晶体管组200沿第一方向Y的两侧具有设置在衬底上的第一冗余栅极301,第一冗余栅极301用于平衡区域内的重量分布。示例性的,第一冗余栅极301的材料与第二晶体管M2的栅极220以及第三晶体管M3的栅极230的材料相同,均为多晶硅,从而平衡包含上下相邻两个第二晶体管组200在内的整个区域的多晶硅的重量分布;此外,在工艺过程中在第一方向Y的边缘位置设置第一冗余栅极301,还可以提升第二晶体管M2和第三晶体管M3的栅极位置的准确度,减弱光学邻近效应的影响。在一些实施例中,第三晶体管M3的栅极230沿第二方向X的一侧连接有第一导电部111,使第一导电部111设置在距离第二晶体管组200较远的位置,有利于避免第一导电部111距离第二晶体管M2的栅极220过近,进而有利于减小第一导电部111对第二晶体管M2的栅极220造成的影响,即减弱信号串扰。可以理解的是,冗余栅极301不连接电源信号。
在一些实施例中,参考图8,第一晶体管组100沿第一方向Y的两侧具有设置在衬底上的第二冗余栅极300,第二冗余栅极300用于平衡区域内的重量分布。示例性的,第二冗余栅极300的材料与第一晶体管M1的栅极120的材料相同,均为多晶硅,从而平衡包含上下相邻两个第一晶体管组100在内的整个区域的多晶硅的重量分布;此外,在工艺过程中在第一方向Y的边缘位置设置第二冗余栅极300,还可以提升第一晶体管M1的栅极120的位置的准确度,减弱光学邻近效应的影响。在一些实施例中,第二冗余栅极300沿第二方向X的一侧具有第二导电部112,由于第二导电部112设置在距离第一晶体管组100较近的位置,因此,为了避免第二导电部112距离第二冗余栅极300过近,沿第二方向X上,可以缩短部分第二冗余栅极300的尺寸,将沿第二方向X的一侧具有第二导电部112的部分第二冗余栅极300邻近第二导电部112的一端设置为距离第二导电部112较远的状态,如此,有利于避免第二冗余栅极300对第二导电部112造成影响。在一些实施例中,在第二方向X上,第二冗余栅极300与第二导电部112的距离等于上述第一长度,或者等于第一长度与第二长度的差值。
在一些实施例中,参考图7或图8,存储器版图还包括:第三导电部113,第三导电部113位于第二晶体管组200的远离第一晶体管组100的一侧,且第三导电部113与相邻的第二晶体管组200中未与第一导电部111相连接的栅极相连接。可以理解的是,由于与第一晶体管组100相对应的两个第二晶体管组200对称分布在第一晶体管组100的两侧,因此,位于第一晶体管M1两侧的两个第三导电部113也对称分布在第一晶体管组100的两侧,有利于提升存储器版图布局的对称性,进而有利于提升存储器的性能。
在一些实施例中,存储器版图还包括:开关控制区,开关控制区包括放大模块12,沿第二方向X上,放大模块12具有相对的第一侧和第二侧,第一侧至相邻的开关控制区边缘的长度与第二侧至相邻的开关控制区边缘的长度相同。如此,沿第二方向X上,放大模块12两侧剩余的开关控制区也呈对称分布,有利于提高存储器版图布局的对称性,进而有利于提升存储器的性能。
上述实施例提供的存储器版图中,使两个第二晶体管组对称分布在第一晶体管组的两侧,有利于提高存储器版图布局的对称性。此外,第一晶体管组中的一个第一晶体管与位于第一晶体管组一侧的第二晶体管和第三晶体管相连接,第一晶体管组中的另一个第一晶体管与位于第一晶体管组另一侧的第二晶体管和第三晶体管相连接,使得第一晶体管组与两侧的第二晶体管组之间的两条连线分别朝远离第一晶体管组的相对两侧延伸,有利于进一步提高存储器版图布局的对称性,进而有利于提升存储器的性能。
