具体实施方式
为了便于理解本公开,下面将参阅相关附图对本公开进行更全面的描述。附图中给出了本公开的 首选实施例。但是,本公开可以以许多不同的形式来实现,并不限于本文所描述的实施例。相反地,提供这些实施例的目的是使对本公开的公开内容更加透彻全面。
除非另有定义,本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本公开的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中在本公开的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施例的目的,不是旨在于限制本公开。
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、掺杂类型和/或部分,这些元件、部件、区、层、掺杂类型和/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、掺杂类型或部分与另一个元件、部件、区、层、掺杂类型或部分。因此,在不脱离本发明教导之下,下面讨论的第一元件、部件、区、层、掺杂类型或部分可表示为第二元件、部件、区、层或部分;举例来说,可以将第一掺杂类型成为第二掺杂类型,且类似地,可以将第二掺杂类型成为第一掺杂类型;第一掺杂类型与第二掺杂类型为不同的掺杂类型,譬如,第一掺杂类型可以为P型且第二掺杂类型可以为N型,或第一掺杂类型可以为N型且第二掺杂类型可以为P型。
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,在这里可以用于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,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。此外,器件也可以包括另外地取向(譬如,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。
在此使用时,单数形式的“一”、“一个”和“所述/该”也可以包括复数形式,除非上下文清楚指出另外的方式。还应明白,当术语“组成”和/或“包括”在该说明书中使用时,可以确定所述特征、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。同时,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。
需要说明的是,本实施例中所提供的图示仅以示意方式说明本公开的基本构想,虽图示中仅显示与本公开中有关的组件而非按照实际实施时的组件数目、形状及尺寸绘制,其实际实施时各组件的型态、数量及比例可为一种随意的改变,且其组件布局型态也可能更为复杂。
反熔丝记载了失效单元的地址信息,对于提升产品良率意义重大,但传统的反熔丝在产品上占用面积较大,不利于成本的降低。传统反熔丝主要包括金属-氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor,MOSFET)器件,制备位置较为固定,必须做在有源区上,位置可选择性差,占用的面积过大,不利于芯片尺寸的缩减。随着制备工艺的不断微缩,反熔丝结构的可靠性急剧下降,导致反熔丝微缩遇到瓶颈。并且,传统的反熔丝阵列无法实现垂直方向的堆叠。
基于此,本公开提供一种反熔丝结构、反熔丝阵列结构及反熔丝结构制备方法、存储器,能够降低反熔丝结构的平面面积和体积,进一步降低集成反熔丝结构的器件的尺寸。
在一些实施例中,本公开提供了一种反熔丝结构,该反熔丝结构包括依次叠置的位线结构、可控电阻结构和字线结构,其中可控电阻结构被配置为在阈值电压下选通且在预设编程电压下从高阻态转变为低阻态,可控电阻结构包括层叠的可变电阻结构及阈值选通结构。
作为示例,上述实施例中的反熔丝结构,可以利用可控电阻结构具备初始态为高阻态且在预设编程电压驱动下由高阻态转变为低阻态的性能,且反熔丝结构在较低电压下可实现阻值变化,实现反熔丝结构的写入与读出,因此能够降低反熔丝结构的平面面积和体积,进一步降低集成反熔丝结构的半导体器件的体积。
在一些实施例中,请参考图1a-图1d,本公开提供了一种反熔丝结构,该反熔丝结构包括位线结 构10、字线结构40,以及位于位线结构10和字线结构40之间的可变电阻结构20和阈值选通结构30,其中可变电阻结构20被配置为在预设编程电压下从高阻态转变为低阻态;阈值选通结构30被配置为在阈值电压下选通。
作为示例,请继续参考图1a-图1d,上述实施例中的反熔丝结构,可以利用可变电阻结构20具备初始态为高阻态且在预设编程电压驱动下由高阻态转变为低阻态的性能,且反熔丝结构在较低电压下可实现阻值变化,实现反熔丝结构的写入与读出,因此能够在降低反熔丝结构的平面面积和体积的情况下,进一步降低反熔丝结构的能耗。
在一些实施例中,请继续参考图1a-图1d,可变电阻结构20位于位线结构10及阈值选通结构30之间,或阈值选通结构30位于位线结构10及可变电阻结构20之间。
