The stack layer (stack) of three-dimensional storage is stacked by multiple storehouses (deck), the channel layer between adjacent storehouse Electrical connection.Form of the channel layer manufactured by existing method between storehouse is bad, it is easy to reduce the conduction of channel interlayer Ability.
Fig. 1 is a kind of channel structure schematic diagram for forming (multiple etching is repeatedly filled) in three-dimensional storage by several times: DCF (Dual Cell Formation) after the completion of the first channel hole etches and fills, is formed that is, for the channel hole of Multilayer stack Conductive pattern between stack, then the etching and filling in the second channel hole are carried out, and so on, layer-by-layer storehouse superposition.As shown in Figure 1, three Dimension memory 100 may include substrate 11, lower stack 12 and upper layer stacks 13 in core space.Lower stack 12 and upper layer stacks 13 stack gradually on substrate 11.Lower stack 12 has multiple the first channel hole 12a perpendicular to substrate, inside there is first Memory layer 12b and the first channel layer 12c.Upper layer stacks 13 have multiple the second channel holes being aligned with the first channel hole 12a 13a inside has second memory layer 13b and the second channel layer 13c.Here, memory layer 12b or 13b may include barrier layer, electricity Lotus trapping layer and tunnel layer.It is equipped with conductive part 14a in storehouse middle layer 14 between lower stack 12 and upper layer stacks 13, connects Meet the first channel layer 12b and the second channel layer 13b.The lower stack 12 and upper layer stacks 13 of this three-dimensional storage 100 can be with Successively production, so that the first channel hole 12a and the second channel hole 13a and its channel structure are segmented into and are formed twice.In this way, drop The low difficulty of channel technique.But during forming upper layer stacks 13, a part the can be also formed on conductive part 14a Two memory layer 13b cause second memory layer 13b that can have nonconducting protrusion 13d on conductive part 14a.When to grid Apply voltage when, protrusion cause intermediate conductive part as conducting channel position can not transoid so that upper and lower first ditch Road hole 12a and the second channel hole 13a electricity continuity failure.However, removal protrusion 13d, which exists, destroys conductive part 14a pattern Risk, after additional complicated processing step, the pattern of the second channel hole bottom is also difficult to control, and influences Cell storage performance.
Fig. 2 is a kind of channel structure schematic diagram that (multiple etching is once filled) is once formed in three-dimensional storage: SCF (Single Cell Formation), i.e., for the channel hole of Multilayer stack, the first channel hole is individually etched, and with interim sacrificial Domestic animal layer filling, re-forms conductive pattern between stack, carries out the second channel hole etching, after removing sacrificial layer, the first, second channel hole is same When fill.Refering to what is shown in Fig. 2, three-dimensional storage 200 may include substrate 21, lower stack 22 and upper layer stacks in core space 23.Lower stack 22 and upper layer stacks 23 stack gradually on substrate 21.Lower stack 22 has multiple perpendicular to substrate First channel hole 22a, upper layer stacks 23 have multiple the second channel hole 23a being generally aligned with the first channel hole 22a.Storage There are also memory layer 24a and channel layer 24b that the second channel hole 23a is extended through from the first channel hole 22a for device 200.Here, storage Device layer 24a may include barrier layer, electric charge capture layer and tunnel layer.This three-dimensional storage 100 can form the first channel hole 22a and the second channel hole 23a once form channel structure.This way it is possible to avoid the problem of conductive part transoid such as Fig. 1 fails. But during forming channel structure, the stack layer that is easily damaged at stack position A, B.And work as upper and lower channel hole When 22a, 23a misregistration as shown in Figure 2, fill the plasma during channel structure can also damage stack position C, The stack layer of D.In addition, being also easy to lead to the blocking in channel hole when filling channel layer 24b and dielectric layer 24c, especially in storehouse Junction can not effectively fill so as to cause the first channel hole in lower layer including such as barrier layer, electric charge capture layer, tunnelling Layer and dielectric layer.
The embodiment of the present invention describe it is a kind of formed three-dimensional storage method, can overcome it is above-mentioned it is existing it is multiple formation or Primary the problem of forming Multilayer stack three-dimensional storage.Fig. 3 is that the formation three-dimensional of an embodiment according to the present invention is deposited The flow chart of the method for reservoir.Fig. 4 A-4E is the example of the method for the formation three-dimensional storage of an embodiment according to the present invention The diagrammatic cross-section of property process.Below with reference to the method for the formation three-dimensional storage for describing the present embodiment shown in Fig. 3-4E.
