为了便于理解本公开,下面将参照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”或“与…电性连接”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。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,在不脱离本公开教导之下,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。
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。
这里参考作为本公开的理想实施例(和中间结构)的示意图的横截面图来描述发明的实施例,这样可以预期由于例如制造技术和/或容差导致的所示形状的变化。本公开的实施例不应当局限于在此所示的区的特定形状,而是包括由于例如制造技术导致的形状偏差。因此,图中显示的区实质上是示意性的,它们的形状并不表示器件的区的实际形状,且并不限定本公开的范围。
在目前的DRAM制造工艺中,多采用存储单元6F2排布且埋置字线(Buried Word line)的制造方法。由于在这种方法下进一步的缩小存储单元的尺寸会变得十分困难,因此随着对存储器存储容量要求的不断增加,存储单元开始进行三维空间布置。然而,基于DRAM中存储单元的可扩展性问题及其工艺复杂的问题,容易在进一步缩小存储单元的尺寸时使得存储单元的电学性能劣化,从而导致难以进一步缩小存储单元的尺寸同时确保存储单元的电学性能。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图1中的(a)图和(b)图,其中,图1中的(a)图示意了一种存储单元的立体结构,图1中的(b)图为图1中(a)图所示存储单元的俯视示意图。该存储单元采用了1T1C架构,即包括一个晶体管1和一个电容器2。
示例地,晶体管1包括与字线WL一体连接的栅极01以及依序环绕于栅极01周侧的栅氧层02和半导体层11;其中,半导体层11在第一方向(例如X方向)上相对的两个外侧壁分别与位线BL和电容器2对应连接,字线WL沿竖直方向(例如Z方向)延伸。并且,半导体层11中与位线BL连接的部分为源极,与电容器2连接的部分为漏极。
由上,随着晶体管1特征尺寸的减小,在对图1所示存储单元的晶体管1进行漏电测试之后,可以获取该晶体管1的电性曲线图如图2所示。如图2中所示,该晶体管1采用前述结构会存在有栅致漏极漏电(Gate Induced Drain Leakage,简称GIDL)效应;即:在栅极电压(Gate Voltage)为零或负电压时,若漏极电压为正电压,则容易形成漏电流。示例地,在图2中,电流曲线I11为漏极电压1V时晶体管1关态下的漏极电流曲线,电流曲线I12为漏极电压0.05V时晶体管1关态下的漏极电流曲线,电流曲线I21为漏极电压1V时晶体管1开态下的漏极电流曲线,电流曲线I12为漏极电压0.05V时晶体管1开态下的漏极电流曲线。对比电流曲线I11和电流曲线I12可知,在栅极电压为-0.5V时,漏极电压虽为0.05V但在晶体管1关态的情况下,该漏极电流却有明显增大,约接近于2×10-07A。
由上,本公开实施例提供了一种存储单元和存储器,利于减小存储单元的平面占用面积,以提升存储器的存储密度和存储容量,还利于确保存储单元具有较佳的电学性能及可靠性,以提升存储器的电学性能及可靠性。
请参阅图3和图4,本公开一些实施例提供了一种存储单元,可以应用于存储器,尤其是DRAM中。
如图3和图4中所示,存储单元U包括:晶体管1和电容器2。晶体管1包括:半导体层11、第一栅极12和第二栅极13。其中,半导体层11包括沿第一方向(例如X方向)延伸的第一部分111,以及与第一部分111的两端分别连接并沿第二方向(例如Y方向)延伸的第二部分112和第三部分113。第二方向(例如Y方向)和第一方向(例如X方向)相交,例如正交。并且,第二部分112背离第三部分113的一侧与位线BL电性连接。第一栅极12和第二栅极13分别位于第一部分111在第二方向(例如Y方向)上相对的两侧。电容器2位于第三部分113背离第二部分112的一侧,并与第三部分113电性连接。
此处,半导体层11中的第一部分111能够作为晶体管1的沟道区,以在第一栅极12和第二栅极13的栅极电压控制下形成沟道电流。半导体层11中的第二部分112与位线BL相连接,该第二部分112例如可以为源极。半导体层11中的第三部分113与电容器2相连接,该第三部分113例如可以为漏极。
在本公开实施例中,将晶体管1的半导体层11设置为沿第一方向(例如X方向)延伸的第一部分111,以及与第一部分111的两端分别连接并沿第二方向(例如Y方向)延伸的第二部分112和第三部分113,并使得第二部分112背离第三部分113的一侧与位线BL电性连接,第三部分113背离第二部分112的一侧与电容器2电性连接,第一部分111在第二方向(例如Y方向)上相对的两侧分别设置有第一栅极12和第二栅极13。如此,该晶体管1采用前述结构,不仅利于提高晶体管1所在区域的空间利用率,以有效减小单个存储单元U的平面面积,还有利于通过半导体层11中第二部分112的延伸长度增加晶体管1(例如源极)和位线BL的接触面积,通过半导体层11中第三部分113的延伸长度增加晶体管1(例如漏极)和电容器2的接触面积,以有效降低接触电阻。
并且,本公开实施例中,半导体层11的第一部分111在第二方向(例如Y方向)上相对的两侧分别设置第一栅极12和第二栅极13,还有利于增加半导体层11尤其是第一部分111的厚度,以避免晶体管1漏电,从而提升晶体管1的可靠性。
由上,本公开实施例提供的存储单元U不仅可以占用较小的平面面积,以提升存储器的存储密度和存储容量,还可以确保存储单元U具有较佳的电学性能及可靠性,从而提升存储器的电学性能及可靠性。
可以理解,上述半导体层11中第一部分111、第二部分112和第三部分113可以为一体结构,以同步形成。并且,在一些实施例中,该半导体层11包括但不限于铟镓锌氧化膜层(即Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,简称IGZO膜层)。如此,基于IGZO膜层绝佳的抗漏电特性、低成本和简单工艺制程,可以相应提高晶体管1的抗漏电特性,以及利于降低存储单元U的生产成本、简化存储单元U的工艺制程以提升生产效率等。
在一些实施例中,请参阅图3和图4,半导体层11的第二部分112和第三部分113位于第一部分111的同侧。如此,半导体层11的第二部分112和第三部分113可以在第一部分111的两端与第一部分111形成连续三边被围的空间。相应地,第一栅极12位于半导体层11的第一部分111、第二部分112和第三部分113围成的空间内,并与第一字线WL1电性连接。第二栅极13位于第一部分111沿第二方向(例如Y方向)背离第二部分112和第三部分113的一侧,且包括第一子栅131和第二子栅132。第二子栅132与第二字线WL2电性连接。
示例地,第一字线WL1可以沿第三方向(例如Z方向)延伸,第三方向(例如Z方向)垂直于第一方向和第二方向的相交平面。第一栅极12和第一字线WL1为一体结构。同理,第二字线WL2也可以沿第三方向(例如Z方向)延伸,且第二栅极13的第二子栅132和第二字线WL2为一体结构。
在一些实施例中,请继续参阅图3和图4,位线BL沿第二方向(例如Y方向)延伸。相应地,沿第二方向(例如Y方向),半导体层11的第二部分112的长度大于第三部分113的长度。
本公开实施例中,半导体层11的第二部分112与位线BL电性连接,该第二部分112的长度大于第三部分113的长度,利于确保第二部分112可以沿位线BL的延伸方向和位线BL具有更大的接触面积,以进一步降低晶体管1(例如源极)和位线BL之间的接触电阻。
在一些实施例中,位线BL采用导电材料形成,位线BL的材料包括但不限于硅基材料、金属基材料或其组合。例如,位线BL的材料包括多晶硅、金属、金属氮化物、金属硅化物或其组合。例如,位线BL可以为钨或氮化钛或多晶硅的单层结构,或者也可以为氮化钛及钨等的叠层结构。
需要补充的是,在一些实施例中,请参阅图3,第一栅极12和第二栅极13中的一者包括沿远离第一部分111的方向层叠且材料不同的第一子栅131和第二子栅132。图3中以第二栅极13包括第一子栅131和第二子栅132为例进行了示意,但并不仅限于此。
在一些实施例中,第一子栅131为多晶硅栅极。第二子栅132以及第一栅极12和第二栅极13中
的另一者均为金属栅极。
在一些示例中,如图3中所示,第二栅极13包括第一子栅131和第二子栅132。第一栅极12和第二子栅132为金属栅极。
示例地,金属栅极包括但不限于钨或铜等具有优良导电性的单体结构,还可以包括金属与金属、或金属与金属化合物的叠层结构。例如,金属栅极包括氮化钛和钨的叠层结构。
请继续参阅图3和图4,在一些实施例中,存储单元U还包括:第一栅介质层14和第二栅介质层15。第一栅介质层14位于第一栅极12和半导体层11的第一部分111之间。第二栅介质层15位于第二栅极13的第一子栅131和半导体层11的第一部分111之间。其中,沿第二方向(例如Y方向),第二栅介质层15的厚度大于第一栅介质层14的厚度。
此处,第二栅介质层15和第一栅介质层14的厚度数值可以根据需求匹配设置,但需要以第二栅介质层15的厚度大于第一栅介质层14的厚度为限制条件。
示例地,如图3中所示,第一栅介质层14沿第一栅极12的周向包覆于第一栅极12的侧壁上;也即,第一栅介质层14可以包覆第一栅极12沿第一方向(例如X方向)和第二方向(例如Y方向)分别延伸的各侧壁。
示例地,第二栅介质层15平行于第二栅极13设置,第二栅介质层15与第二栅极13在第一方向(例如X方向)上可以具有相同的长度尺寸。进一步示例地,第二栅介质层15沿第二方向(例如Y方向)的正投影与第二栅极13中的第一子栅131在第二方向(例如Y方向)的正投影基本重合。
示例地,第一栅介质层14和第二栅介质层15的材料相同或不同,均可。
在一些示例中,第一栅介质层14和/或第二栅介质层15的材料包括但不限于氧化硅、氮化硅、金属氧化物、金属氮氧化物、金属硅酸盐、高K介电材料、铁电材料、反铁电材料或其组合。K为介电常数,高K介电材料的介电常数例如大于或等于3.9,例如可以为20。
在一些示例中,高K介电材料可以包括氧化铪(HfO2)、氧化锆(ZrO2)、氧化铝(Al2O3)、氧化镧(La2O3)、氧化钛(TiO2)、氧化钽(Ta2O5)、氧化铌(Nb2O5)或氧化锶钛(SrTiO3)。
示例地,第一栅介质层14和/或第二栅介质层15的材料可以为氧化硅(SiO2)、氧化铝(Al2O3)、氧化锌(ZnO)、氧化锆(ZrO2)或氧化铪(HfO2)等。
示例地,第二栅介质层15的材料为多晶硅氧化物。
上述一些实施例中,第二栅介质层15位于第二栅极13的第一子栅131和半导体层11的第一部分111之间,相较于第一栅介质层14,第二栅介质层15采用较大厚度,可以在一定程度上弥补半导体层11中第一部分111(例如沟道区)的氧空位,尤其是在第二栅介质层15采用多晶硅氧化物形成的实施例中,从而有利于提升晶体管1的可靠性。
在一些实施例中,请继续参阅图3和图4,位线BL沿第二方向(例如Y方向)延伸。电容器2沿第二方向(例如Y方向)向第二栅极13所在一侧凸出于半导体层11的第三部分113。存储单元U还包括:第一隔离结构3、第二隔离结构4和第三隔离结构5。
第一隔离结构3位于第一栅极12和半导体层11的第二部分112之间,以及第一栅极12和半导体层11的第三部分113之间。例如,第一隔离结构3位于第一栅极12和半导体层11的第二部分112之间的部分,以及第一隔离结构3位于第一栅极12和半导体层11的第三部分113之间的部分,均沿第二方向(例如Y方向)延伸,并覆盖对应第一栅介质层14沿第二方向(例如Y方向)的侧壁。
第二隔离结构4位于第二栅极13和位线BL之间,以及第二栅极13和电容器2之间。例如,第二隔离结构4位于第二栅极13和位线BL之间的部分,以及第二隔离结构4位于第二栅极13和电容器2之间的部分,均沿第二方向(例如Y方向)延伸,并覆盖对应第二栅介质层15沿第二方向(例如Y方向)的侧壁。
第三隔离结构5位于第一栅极12、半导体层11的第三部分113、电容器2以及第一栅极12和第三部分113之间第一隔离结构3的同侧,并与第一栅极12和半导体层11的第二部分112之间的第一隔离结构3接触连接。例如,第三隔离结构5沿第一方向(例如X方向)延伸,并覆盖第一栅极12和半导体层11的第二部分112之间第一隔离结构3沿第二方向(例如Y方向)的对应侧壁、第一栅介质层14沿第一方向(例如X方向)的对应侧壁、第一栅极12和第三部分113之间第一隔离结构3沿第一方向(例如X方向)的对应侧壁、半导体层11的第三部分113沿第一方向(例如X方向)的对应侧壁、以及电容器2沿第一方向(例如X方向)的对应侧壁。
本公开实施例中,采用前述的第一隔离结构3、第二隔离结构4和第三隔离结构5,可以有效消除晶体管1的GIDL效应,以提升晶体管1的电学性能及可靠性。
需要补充的是,上述第一隔离结构3、第二隔离结构4和第三隔离结构5,采用绝缘材料形成,可以为单层结构或叠层结构。并且,第一隔离结构3、第二隔离结构4和第三隔离结构5所采用的绝缘材料相同或不同,均可。示例地,前述的绝缘材料可以包括氧化硅、氮化硅或氮氧化硅中的至少一种。
