- a plurality of word lines stacked and arranged in a direction perpendicular to the substrate correspond to a third selection line
- the third selection line serves as a word line selection line, that is, which word line in the selected storage array layer is selected is determined by the level state of the third selection line; specifically, if the k-th storage array layer is selected, the plurality of third selection lines of the k-th storage array layer are connected to the plurality of word lines in a one-to-one correspondence, and when the level state of the third selection line is high, the word line connected to the third selection line with the high level is selected, and when the level state of the third selection line is low, the word line connected to the third selection line with the low level is selected.
- the line is not selected. For example, if the word line WL-k,1 needs to be selected, the level state of the third selection line WL-row1 connected to the word line WL-k,1 is high (that is, the peripheral circuit outputs a high level signal for the third selection line WL-row1), and the level state of the third selection line connected to other word lines is low (that is, the peripheral circuit outputs a low level signal for the third selection line connected to other word lines).

- word lines when other word lines are selected, data writing and data reading of the storage cells in the corresponding rows can be achieved.
- the memory cells located in the same column along the extension direction of the bit line share a bit line, that is, for a bit line (for example, bit line BL_1,1), all memory array layers stacked along the extension direction of the bit line share the bit line; for each memory array layer, the first electrode of the transistor T included in the memory cell is connected to the bit line one by one.
- bit line for example, bit line BL_1,1
- the first electrodes of two adjacent transistors T (for example, two adjacent transistors in the first column in FIG. 2 ) in a direction perpendicular to the word line are connected to the same bit line. This design can save the number of bit lines, reduce the size of the memory, and thus improve the integration of the device.

- a row of bit line selection units corresponding to the word lines is opened through the control of the control lines, and this row of storage cells is connected to a row of read-write circuits. Specifically, when writing data, the read-write circuit transmits the data to the row of storage cells through the bit lines, and when reading data, the read-write circuit can receive the data transmitted by the row of storage cells through the bit lines to complete the reading of the row of storage cells.
- the memory further includes a plurality of first connection lines and/or a plurality of second connection lines; each first selection line is connected to the peripheral circuit via a first connection line, the first connection line is perpendicular to the substrate, and the plurality of first connection lines are arranged in a step-by-step manner along a direction perpendicular to the substrate; each second selection line is connected to the peripheral circuit via a second connection line, the second connection line is perpendicular to the substrate, and the plurality of second connection lines are arranged in a step-by-step manner along a direction perpendicular to the substrate; through this arrangement, the first selection lines included in the storage array layers of different layers can be connected to the peripheral circuit within the minimum wiring space to receive the electrical signal output by the peripheral circuit; and the second selection lines included in the storage array layers of different layers can be connected to the peripheral circuit to receive the electrical signal output by the peripheral circuit.
- the electrical signal output is used to complete the control of the selection circuit.
- FIG. 4 shows three first selection lines included in three adjacent storage array layers, each of which is connected to the peripheral circuit through a corresponding first connection line, and the top ends of the plurality of first connection lines are flush, and the bottom ends are respectively located in different storage array layers. Since different storage array layers are stacked, the bottom ends of the first connection lines are located in different planes, thereby making the first connection lines arranged in a stepped manner, which can be achieved by the arrangement of stepped through holes during specific production.

随着DRAM(Dynamic Random Access Memory,动态随机存取存储器)技术的发展,平面的1T1C(一个晶体管和一个电容)存储器结构已经趋于极限,在获取更高电容,更低漏电,更高集成度方面,目前的2D存储器件发展受到了限制。
对于DRAM而言,通过将存储阵列晶体管布置在3D而不是2D的情况下,集成电路(IC)中的晶体管可彼此靠近放置,且可实现多层堆栈,节省平面内的面积。目前有多种3D-DRAM技术,大部分的3D存储器结构都是将2D的存储单元水平放置再多层堆叠。
目前3D存储器结构的字线设计方式中,部分设计采用垂直字线(即字线的延伸方向垂直于衬底)的设计方式,部分设计采用水平字线(即字线的延伸方向平行于衬底)的设计方式,其中水平字线的设计方式具有低位线寄生电容的优势,可以提供更经济的设计。
本申请实施例中的存储器为包括1T1C的3D存储器,该3D存储器包括的字线采用水平字线的设计方式,本申请通过设计新的存储器的外围电路,能够在读写操作时精确的选定需要被选择的字线,提升存储器的性能。

本申请实施例提供了一种存储器,包括:衬底和位于衬底一侧的三维存储阵列,三维存储阵列包括若干层沿垂直于衬底方向叠层设置的存储阵列层,衬底可以为硅衬底等半导体衬底。
如图1所示,图1仅示出了位于衬底一侧的一层存储阵列层11(例如第k层存储阵列层),存储阵列层11包括若干阵列排布的存储单元12、若干平行于衬底的字线(如图1中的WL-k,1、WL-k,2、WL-k,3)、若干垂直于衬底的位线(如图1中的BL_1,1、BL_1,2、BL_1,M-1、BL_1,M等)、选择电路13、第一选择线WL_layer_k、第二选择线WL_N_layer_k、若干第三选择线(如图1中的WL-row1、WL-row2、WL-row3)和若干低电平
电位端(位置如图1中的多个V_low的位置)。
如图1所示,一行存储单元12连接一条字线,针对每一层存储阵列层,选择电路13、第一选择线WL_layer_k、第二选择线WL_N_layer_k和若干低电平电位端均对应所有的存储单元,第一选择线WL_layer_k和第二选择线WL_N_layer_k平行于衬底,第三选择线垂直于衬底,且第三选择线与字线一一对应设置;选择电路13分别与若干字线、第一选择线WL_layer_k、第二选择线WL_N_layer_k、若干第三选择线和若干低电平电位端连接;针对三维存储阵列,多个选择电路13用于基于相应存储阵列层的第一选择线WL_layer_k和第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态,确定出被选择的存储阵列层,以及基于被选择的存储阵列层的第三选择线的电平状态,确定读写操作时被选中的字线。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的衬底沿图1中的第一方向和第二方向延伸,多条字线平行于衬底延伸,图1中的第三方向指垂直于纸面的方向,即垂直于衬底的方向。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的选择电路13可以位于字线的一侧,也可以位于字线的相对两侧,图1中仅示出了选择电路13位于字线相对两侧的情况。
具体地,如图1所示,多条字线沿第二方向延伸,第一选择线WL_layer_k和第二选择线WL_N_layer_k均沿第一方向延伸,第三选择线沿第三方向延伸;每一低电平电位端均可以连接一条信号线,这些信号线可以沿第三方向延伸,每条信号线均连接低电平电位,例如每条信号线均接地,当然,实际设计时,所有的信号线可以先连接到一起,然后再接地连接。本申请实施例中的低电平电位指零电位或者负电位。
本申请实施例提供的存储器,由于每一存储阵列层均包括选择电路、第一选择线、第二选择线、第三选择线和低电平电位端,选择电路分别与字线、第一选择线、第二选择线、第三选择线和低电平电位端连接,多个选择电路用于基于相应存储阵列层的第一选择线和第二选择线的电平状态,确定出被选择的存储阵列层,以及基于被选择的存储阵列层的第三选
择线的电平状态,确定读写操作时被选中的字线;因此,本申请实施例通过设计新的外围电路,能够提供一种在读写操作时选定需要被选择的平行于衬底方向的字线的方式。
在一种具体的实施例中,沿垂直于衬底的方向且堆叠设置的多条字线共同对应一条第三选择线,第三选择线(如图1中的WL-row1、WL-row2、WL-row3)垂直于衬底,针对一条第三选择线(例如WL-row1),所有的存储阵列层共用该条第三选择线;第三选择线连接外围电路,用于接收外围电路输出的高电平信号或低电平信号,第三选择线的设置方式能够节省成本;当然,实际设计时,也可以是不同层存储阵列层包括的第三选择线不共用,这种设计方式布线较多,不利于器件的集成度。
在一种可选的实施例中,本申请实施例中的若干低电平电位端(如图1中的多个V_low)为若干垂直于衬底的电源线,如图1所示,每一存储阵列层,电源线与字线一一对应设置,沿垂直于衬底的方向且堆叠设置的多条字线共同对应一条电源线,该电源线可以接地,也可以接负电位信号端;电源线的设置方式能够节省成本。
在另一种可选的实施例中,本申请实施例中的所有的存储阵列层包括的若干低电平电位端为导电墙,沿垂直于衬底的方向,所有的存储阵列层共用该导电墙,该导电墙可以接地,也可以接负电位信号端;这种实施方式在实际制作时,可以仅制作一导电墙,即可实现所有存储阵列层包括的低电平电位端接地,能够最大程度的降低生产成本。
在一种具体的实施例中,如图2所示,本申请实施例中每一层存储阵列层中的选择电路包括第一子选择电路131和第二子选择电路132;针对每一层存储阵列层,第一子选择电路131,分别与字线(如图2中的WL-k,1、WL-k,2、WL-k,3)、第一选择线WL_layer_k和第三选择线(如图2中的WL-row1、WL-row2、WL-row3)连接;针对三维存储阵列,每一层第一子选择电路131用于基于相应存储阵列层的第一选择线WL_layer_k的电平状态,确定出字线与第三选择线连接的存储阵列层,以及基于字线与第三选择线连接的存储阵列层的第三选择线的电平状态,确定被选中的字线;
针对每一层存储阵列层,第二子选择电路132,分别与字线、第二选择线WL_N_layer_k和低电平电位端(如图2中的多个V_low)连接;针对三维存储阵列,每一层第二子选择电路132用于基于相应存储阵列层的第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态,确定字线与低电平电位端连接的存储阵列层;其中:字线与第三选择线连接的存储阵列层为被选择的存储阵列层,字线与低电平电位端连接的存储阵列层为未被选择的存储阵列层。
在一种可选的实施例中,第一子选择电路131和第一选择线WL_layer_k位于字线的一侧,第二子选择电路132和第二选择线WL_N_layer_k位于字线的相同侧;在另一种可选的实施例中,第一子选择电路131和第一选择线WL_layer_k位于字线的第一侧,第二子选择电路132和第二选择线WL_N_layer_k位于字线的第二侧,第一侧和第二侧相对设置,第一子选择电路131和第二子选择电路132相对设置,第一选择线WL_layer_k和第二选择线WL_N_layer_k相对设置;由于第一子选择电路131、第二子选择电路132、第一选择线WL_layer_k和第二选择线WL_N_layer_k均位于存储阵列层的边缘,因此第一子选择电路131、第二子选择电路132、第一选择线WL_layer_k和第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的设计不会影响存储器的整体设计,且由于第一子选择电路131和第二子选择电路132相对设置,第一选择线WL_layer_k和第二选择线WL_N_layer_k相对设置,能够使得存储器的外围电路的布线更均匀。
在一种具体的实施例中,如图2所示,第一子选择电路131包括若干第一晶体管T1,第一晶体管T1与字线一一对应设置;第一晶体管T1的栅极与第一选择线WL_layer_k连接,第一晶体管T1的第一极与字线连接(如第一个第一晶体管T1的第一极与字线WL-k,1的一端连接,第二个第一晶体管T1的第一极与字线WL-k,2的一端连接,第三个第一晶体管T1的第一极与字线WL-k,3的一端连接),第一晶体管的第二极与第三选择线连接(如第一个第一晶体管T1的第二极与第三选择线WL-row1连接,第二个第一晶体管T1的第二极与第三选择线WL-row2连接,第三个第一晶体管T1的第二极与第三选择线WL-row3连接)。
在一种具体的实施例中,如图2所示,第二子选择电路132包括若干第二晶体管T2,第二晶体管T2与字线一一对应设置;第二晶体管T2的栅极与第二选择线WL_N_layer_k连接,第二晶体管T2的第一极与字线连接(如第一个第二晶体管T2的第一极与字线WL-k,1的另一端连接,第二个第二晶体管T2的第一极与字线WL-k,2的另一端连接,第三个第二晶体管T2的第一极与字线WL-k,3的另一端连接),第二晶体管T2的第二极与低电平电位端(如图2中的V_low)连接。
在一种可选的实施例中,第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2的类型相同,在另一种可选的实施例中,第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2的类型不同,由于第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2的类型不同时,制作成本较高,且容易导致良率下降,因此实际设计时不作为优选的设计方式,仅作为一种可以实施的设计方式。
在一种具体实施例中,第一晶体管T1为N型晶体管,第二晶体管T2为N型晶体管;或者,第一晶体管T1为P型晶体管,第二晶体管T2为P型晶体管;第一选择线WL_layer_k的电平状态与第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态相反;即本申请实施例中,若第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2的类型相同,则第一选择线WL_layer_k的电平状态与第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态相反。
具体地,本申请实施例中,针对同一层的存储阵列层,在任何时刻第一选择线WL_layer_k的电平状态与第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态均相反,例如:第一择线WL_layer_k的电平状态为高电平(即逻辑电平为1),则第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态为低电平(即逻辑电平为0);本申请实施例中的第三选择线的电平状态可以为高电平,也可以为低电平,低电平电位端的电平状态始终为低电平。
在另一种具体实施例中,第一晶体管T1为N型晶体管,第二晶体管T2为P型晶体管;或者,第一晶体管T1为P型晶体管,第二晶体管T2为N型晶体管;第一选择线WL_layer_k的电平状态与第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态相同;即本申请实施例中,若第一晶体管T1
和第二晶体管T2的类型不同,则第一选择线WL_layer_k的电平状态与第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态相同。
具体地,本申请实施例中,针对同一层的存储阵列层,在任何时刻第一选择线WL_layer_k的电平状态与第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态均相同,例如:第一择线WL_layer_k的电平状态为高电平(即逻辑电平为1),则第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态也为高电平;第一择线WL_layer_k的电平状态为低电平(即逻辑电平为0),则第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态也为低电平。
如图2所示,本申请实施例以第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2的类型相同,且第一晶体管T1为N型晶体管,第二晶体管T2为N型晶体管为例进行说明。
本申请实施例中的第一选择线WL_layer_k和第二选择线WL_N_layer_k作为存储阵列层选择线,即通过第一选择线WL_layer_k的电平状态和第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态,确定哪一层存储阵列层被选择;具体地,若需要选择第k层存储阵列层,则第k层存储阵列层包括的第一选择线WL_layer_k的电平状态为高电平(即外围电路为第一选择线WL_layer_k输出高电平信号),第k层存储阵列层包括的第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态为低电平(即外围电路为第二选择线WL_N_layer_k输出低电平信号);针对不需要被选择的所有存储阵列层,每一层存储阵列层包括的第一选择线WL_layer_k的电平状态为低电平,每一层存储阵列层包括的第二选择线WL_N_layer_k的电平状态为高电平。
如图2所示,本申请实施例中的存储单元包括一个晶体管T和一个电容C,其中晶体管T和电容C可以按照水平二维布置的方式设计;晶体管T的栅极与字线连接,晶体管T的第一极与位线连接,晶体管T的第二极与电容C的一端连接,电容C的另一端接地。本申请实施例中的晶体管T为N型晶体管,当然,实际设计时,晶体管T也可以为P型晶体管。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中的晶体管(晶体管T、第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2)的第一极指晶体管的源极,晶体管的第二极指晶体
管的漏极,或者,晶体管的第一极指晶体管的漏极,晶体管的第二极指晶体管的源极,晶体管的第一极和第二极可以互换,在此不做限定。
在一种具体实施例中,本申请实施例中的晶体管T、第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2的沟道均采用水平沟道,如图3所示,晶体管T包括源极14、漏极15、半导体层16、栅极绝缘层17和栅极18,其中,半导体层16环绕栅极18设置,第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2也可以采用图3所示的设置方式。具体地,半导体层优选金属氧化物半导体,如IGZO(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,铟镓锌氧化物),当金属氧化物材料为IGZO时,晶体管的漏电流较小(漏电流小于或者等于10-15A),由此保证了动态存储器的低刷新率。
需要说明的是,金属氧化物的材料也可以是ITO,IWO、ZnOx、InOx、In2O3、InWO、SnO2、TiOx、InSnOx、ZnxOyNz、MgxZnyOz、InxZnyOz、InxGayZnzOa、ZrxInyZnzOa、HfxInyZnzOa、SnxInyZnzOa、AlxSnyInzZnaOd、SixInyZnzOa、ZnxSnyOz、AlxZnySnzOa、GaxZnySnzOa、ZrxZnySnzOa、InGaSiO、IAZO等材料,只要保证晶体管的漏电流能满足要求即可,具体可根据实际情况进行调整。
如图2所示,本申请实施例中沿垂直于衬底的方向且堆叠设置的多条字线共同对应一条第三选择线,第三选择线作为字线选择线,即通过第三选择线的电平状态,确定被选择的存储阵列层中哪一条字线被选中;具体地,若第k层存储阵列层被选择,则第k层存储阵列层的多条第三选择线与多条字线一一对应连接,第三选择线的电平状态为高电平时,与高电平的第三选择线连接的字线被选中,第三选择线的电平状态为低电平时,与低电平的第三选择线连接的字线未被选中,例如:若需要选中字线WL-k,1,则与字线WL-k,1连接的第三选择线WL-row1的电平状态为高电平(即外围电路为第三选择线WL-row1输出高电平信号),与其它字线连接的第三选择线的电平状态为低电平(即外围电路为与其它字线连接的第三选择线输出低电平信号),与字线WL-k,1连接的晶体管T导通,可以将位线BL_1,1、BL_1,2、BL_1,M-1、BL_1,M的数据写入电容C,或者通过位线
BL_1,1、BL_1,2、BL_1,M-1、BL_1,M读取电容C存储的数据,同样地,当其它字线被选中时,可实现对应行的存储单元的数据写入和数据读取。
具体地,如图2所示,沿位线的延伸方向位于同一列的存储单元共用一条位线,即针对一条位线(例如位线BL_1,1),沿该位线延伸方向堆叠的所有的存储阵列层共用该条位线;针对每一层存储阵列层,存储单元包括的晶体管T的第一极与位线一一对应连接,这种设计方式简单易于制作。
在一种可选的实施例中,针对每一层存储阵列层,沿垂直于字线方向上相邻的两个晶体管T(例如图2中位于第一列的相邻的两个晶体管)的第一极连接同一条位线,这种设计方式能够节省位线的数量,减小存储器的尺寸,进而可以提升器件的集成度。
如图2所示,本申请实施例中的存储器包括读写电路、若干位线选择单元和若干控制线,位线与位线选择单元一一对应连接,控制线与位线选择单元一一对应连接;位线选择单元用于基于控制线的控制选择位线,以将选中的位线与读写电路连接;具体地,位线选择单元位于三维存储阵列的底部或顶部,位线选择单元组成一个阵列,通过控制线的控制打开和字线对应的一行位线选择单元,把这一行存储单元连接到一行读写电路,具体地,当写入数据时,读写电路将数据通过位线传输到该行存储单元,当读取数据时,读写电路可以接收该行存储单元通过位线传输的数据,以完成对该行存储单元的读取。
在一种具体的实施例中,存储器还包括若干第一连接线和/或若干第二连接线;每一第一选择线通过一条第一连接线与外围电路连接,第一连接线垂直于衬底,且沿垂直于衬底方向,多条第一连接线呈阶梯排布;每一第二选择线通过一条第二连接线与外围电路连接,第二连接线垂直于衬底,且沿垂直于衬底方向,多条第二连接线呈阶梯排布;通过这种设置方式,能够在最小的布线空间内,使得不同层的存储阵列层包括的第一选择线均与外围电路连接,以接收外围电路输出的电信号;以及能够使得不同层的存储阵列层包括的第二选择线均与外围电路连接,以接收外围电路输
出的电信号,以完成对选择电路的控制。
具体地,如图4所示,图中仅示出了第一选择线和第一连接线的设置方式,第二选择线和第二连接线的设置方式类似,这里不再赘述;图4中示出了位于相邻三层存储阵列层包括的三条第一选择线,每一条第一选择线均通过对应连接的第一连接线与外围电路连接,多条第一连接线的顶端平齐,底端分别位于不同的存储阵列层,由于不同的存储阵列层叠层设置,因此第一连接线的底端位于不同的平面,进而使得第一连接线呈阶梯排布,具体制作时,可以通过阶梯通孔的设置方式实现。
基于同一发明构思,本申请实施例提供了一种电子设备,包括如上述任一实施例提供的存储器。
该电子设备包括上述的存储器,因此该电子设备具有与上述存储器相同的有益效果,这里不再赘述。
具体地,电子设备包括存储装置、智能电话、计算机、平板电脑、人工智能设备、可穿戴设备或移动电源。
基于同一发明构思,本申请实施例提供了一种上述存储器的读写方法,如图5所示,该存储器的写入操作阶段包括:
S101、向待要写入数据的存储阵列层对应的第一选择线施加第一电信号,以及向待要写入数据的存储阵列层对应的第二选择线施加第二电信号,使得待要写入数据的存储阵列层的字线与第三选择线一一对应连接,以选中待要写入数据的存储阵列层;
S102、基于选中的待要写入数据的存储阵列层,向与待要写入数据的存储单元行连接的字线对应的第三选择线施加第三电信号,使得与字线连接的存储单元行包括的晶体管导通,以选中待要写入数据的存储单元行;
S103、基于选中的待要写入数据的存储单元行,将与存储单元行中存储单元连接的位线的数据写入存储单元。
具体地,存储器包括的存储阵列层的设置方式以图2为例进行说明,
在写入操作阶段,向待要写入数据的存储阵列层对应的第一选择线WL_layer_k施加高电平信号,以及向第二选择线WL_N_layer_k施加低电平信号,第一晶体管T1导通,第二晶体管T2关断,每一条字线均与一条第三选择线一一对应连接;之后,向与待要写入数据的字线连接的第三选择线施加高电平信号,例如待要写入的字线为WL-K,1,则字线WL-K,1接收到高电平信号后,控制第一行的晶体管T导通,进而能够将与第一行晶体管T连接的位线的数据写入;另外,向其它的第三选择线(即与不需要写入的字线连接的第三选择线)施加低电平信号,使得存储单元包括的其它晶体管均处于关断状态,此时位线上即便有数据也无法写入存储单元。
在一种可选的实施例中,若本申请实施例中的存储单元包括一个晶体管和一个电容,该存储器在读取操作阶段,向待要读取数据的存储阵列层对应的第一选择线WL_layer_k施加高电平信号,以及向第二选择线WL_N_layer_k施加低电平信号,第一晶体管T1导通,第二晶体管T2关断,每一条字线均与一条第三选择线一一对应连接;之后,向与待要读取数据的字线连接的第三选择线施加高电平信号,例如待要读取数据的字线为WL-K,1,则字线WL-K,1接收到高电平信号后,控制第一行的晶体管T导通,进而能够将第一行存储单元存储的数据传输到对应的位线,通过位线连接的读写电路实现对存储数据的读取;另外,向其它的第三选择线(即与不需要读取的字线连接的第三选择线)施加低电平信号,使得存储单元包括的其它晶体管均处于关断状态。另外,在该读取操作阶段,还包括:向不需要读取数据的存储阵列层对应的第一选择线WL_layer_k施加低电平信号,以及向不需要读取数据的第二选择线WL_N_layer_k施加高电平信号。
在一种具体的实施例中,写入操作阶段还包括:向不需要写入数据的存储阵列层对应的第一选择线施加第二电信号,以及向不需要写入数据的第二选择线施加第一电信号,使得不需要写入数据的存储阵列层的字线与低电平电位端连接。
具体地,存储器包括的存储阵列层的设置方式以图2为例进行说明,
在写入操作阶段,向不需要写入数据的存储阵列层对应的第一选择线WL_layer_k施加低电平信号,以及向不需要写入数据的第二选择线WL_N_layer_k施加高电平信号。
综上所述,应用本申请实施例,至少能够实现如下有益效果:
