下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图,对公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本公开中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。
DRAM性能的提高,对DRAM内部电路提出了更高的信号处理速度要求。
现有具备失调补偿功能的感测放大模块在读出存储数据的过程中,需要一定的时间执行偏移消除过程,再将存储数据传输至感测放大模块,导致感测放大模块在处理读取数据的整体时间消耗变长,功耗增加,无法进一步提高数据处理速度。
本公开实施例提供了一种读出电路的版图结构,在感测放大模块执行偏移消除过程中,将存储单元内的数据提前传输至与感测放大模块连接的位线中,减小感测放大模块处理存储数据的整体时间,同时保证有充足的时间用于感测放大模块的电位放大,从而提高存储器数据读出的速度和准确性,同时将第一和第二读出电路结构相邻设置,各部分有序分布,保证读出电路结构所占面积最小,各器件之间的连接最短。
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,也可以实现本公开所要求保护的技术方案。
图1为本实施例提供的读出电路的结构示意图,图2为本实施例提供的读出电路的读出时序示意图,图3和图4为本实施例提供的具备预充电功能的读出电路的结构示意图,图5为本实施例提供的读出电路版图的结构示意图,图6~图7为本实施例提供的读出电路版图的具体结构示意图,图8为本实施例提供的第一读出电路结构的电路结构示意图,图9为本实施例提供的第二读出电路结构的电路结构示意图,图10为本实施例提供的对应图8和图9的具体读出电路版图,以下结合附图对本实施例提供的读出电路的版图结构作进一步详细说明,具体如下:
参考图1,读出电路,设置在相邻存储阵列100之间,通过位线BL耦合一存储阵列100,通过互补位线BLB耦合另一存储阵列100,包括:

需要说明的是,对于第一感测放大结构301,本附图一个预充电MOS管为例进行附图说明,在其他实施例中,可以在图9新增对互补位线BLB预充电的预充电MOS管。同理,对于第二感测放大结构302,可以在图8新增对位线BL预充电的预充电MOS管,采用贴近位线或互补位线的预充电设置,保证电压传输消耗最少,节约预充电时间。
图10中左图即对应于图8的版图,图10中右图即对应于图9的版图,其中,斜框区域为有源层的版图布局,白框区域为栅极层的版图布局,阴影区域为接触层的版图布局。在该图中,实线箭头经过接触层的版图布局,说明实线箭头所表征的结构与接触层相互接触;虚线箭头所经过的任何区域都不相互接触。采用该种版图设计,能够将第一读出电路结构和第二电路结构设置于同一区域,各晶体管规则排布,所占面积最小,能够采用相同的工序制备多个晶体管,降低工艺制备成本。
在实施例中,第一电压的电压大于第二电压的电压,即第一电压为对应逻辑“1”的高电平,第二电压为对应逻辑“0”的低电平;在其他实施例中,同样可以设置为,第一电压的电压小于第二电压的电压,即第一电压为对应逻辑“0”的低电平,第二电压为对应逻辑“1”的高电平。
结合图2,对于本实施例提供的读出电路,在S1阶段,即预充电阶段,用于对读出电路进行预充电,以将读出电路中各线路的电位预充至预设电压;需要说明的是,在一些实施例中,S1阶段中第二隔离信号ISO2也可以为高电平。
S2阶段包括三个部分:依次为S2前阶段、S2中阶段和S2后阶段。
在S2前阶段,打开字线WL,存储数据电位由存储单元传输至位线BL或互补位线BLB上,在该阶段中并未接收到第一隔离信号ISO1,第一读出位线SABL和位线BL隔离,第一互补读出位线SABLB和互补位线BLB隔离,此时位线BL和互补位线BLB上的电位无法同步至感测放大模块中;另外,在S2前阶段,向感测放大模块的第一信号端PCS提供第一电压,向第二信号端NCS提供第二电压,并持续提供偏移消除信号OC,将第一感测放大N管<N1>和第二感测放大N管<N2>的放大差异,以及第一感测放大P管<P1>和第二感测放大P管<P2>的放大差异形成的偏移电压差转移至第二读出位线ISABL和第二互补读出位线ISABLB上,第二读出位线ISABL和第二互补读出位线ISABLB的电位被设置为具有偏移电压的差,同时由于具有偏移消除信号OC,第一偏移消除MOS管<31>和第二偏移消除MOS管<32>导通,第二读出位线ISABL与第一读出位线SABL连接,第二互补读出位线ISABLB与第一互补读出位线SABLB连接,第一读出位线SABL和第一互补读出位线SABLB的电位同样被设置为具有偏移电压的差。因此,感测放大模块的偏移噪声被消除。
在S2中阶段,将第一信号端PCS和第二信号端NCS所接收的信号恢复至预设电压。
在S2后阶段,提供第一隔离信号ISO1和第二隔离信号ISO2,将位线BL和第一读出位线SABL电连接,将互补位线BLB和第一互补读出位线SABLB电连接,位线BL和第一读出位线SABL进行电荷分享,或互补位线BLB和第一互补读出位线SABLB电连接进行电荷分享,以通过字线WL打开的存储单元的电位同步至第一读出位线SABL或第一互补读出位线SABLB,且同步后的第一读出位线SABL或第一 互补读出位线SABLB的电位具有偏移电压的差将偏移电位交叉同步(偏移消除过程中,第二读出位线ISABL上的偏移电压同步至第一互补读出位线SABLB上,在这一阶段会同步至第一读出位线SABL)后,以补偿第一感测放大N管<N1>和第二感测放大N管<N2>的放大差异,并补偿第一感测放大P管<P1>和第二感测放大P管<P2>的放大差异。
在S3阶段,即信号读出阶段,感测放大模块根据第一读出位线SABL和第一互补读出位线SABLB的电位感测放大后,读出存储数据,并对存储单元的电位进行数据恢复。
在S4阶段,即信号复位阶段,通过预充电,将读出电路中各线路的电位预充至预设电压,准备下一次读出数据。
以与位线BL连接的存储单元存储的数据为“0”为例,结合图2对读出电路中信号电位变化过程进行示例性说明:
在S1阶段,对读出电路进行预充电,提供第一隔离信号ISO1、偏移消除信号OC和外部预设电压VBLP,将位线BL、第一读出位线SABL、第二读出位线SABLB、位线BL、第一读出位线SABL、第二读出位线SABLB的电位预充至预设电压VBLP;
在S2前阶段,打开字线WL,存储单元与位线BL进行电荷分享,由于存储的数据为0,电荷分享后位线BL的电位会低于预设电压VBLP。同时维持偏移消除信号OC,感测放大模块执行偏移消除过程,偏移电压差转移后,假设第二互补读出位线ISABLB的电位低于第二读出位线ISABL电位,则第一读出位线SABL的电位会低于第一互补读出位线SABLB电位。
在S2后阶段,提供第一隔离信号ISO1和第二隔离信号ISO2,位线BL与第一读出位线SABL电荷分享,第一读出位线SABLB的电位被进一步拉低,位线BL电位则部分回升。互补位线BL与第一互补读出位线SABLB连接后,电位维持不变。
在S3阶段,感测放大模块根据第一读出位线SABL和第一互补读出位线SABLB的电位感测放大后读出存储数据,并恢复存储单元内电位。
对于读出电路的预充电,在一些实施例中,参考图3,读出电路,还包括:预充电模块320和均衡模块310;预充电模块320,用于根据预充电信号PRE将位线BL、第一读出位线ISABL、第二读出位线ISABL、互补位线BLB、第一互补读出位线ISBALB和第二互补读出位线ISABLB预充电至预设电压。均衡模块310,用于根据均衡信号EQ,保持第二读出位线ISABL的电压和第二互补读出位线ISABLB的电压一致。

另外,本实施例并不对均衡MOS管<11>和预充电MOS管<12>的类型进行限定,在具体的应用中,均衡MOS管<11>和预充电MOS管<12>可以为NMOS管,也可以为PMOS管。
在一些实施例中,参考图4,读出电路,还包括:第一预充电模块401和第二预充电模块402;第一预充电模块401,连接位线BL或第一读出位线SABL,用于根据 预充电信号PRE预充位线BL、第一读出位线SABL和第二读出位线ISABL至预设电压。第二预充电模块402,连接互补位线BLB或第一互补读出位线SABLB,用于根据预充电信号PRE预充互补位线BLB、第一互补读出位线SABLB和第二互补读出位线ISABLB至预设电压。

需要说明的是,对于第一预充电MOS管<41>和第二预充电MOS管<42>,具体“源极”和“漏极”的连接方式,并不构成对本实施例的限定,在其他实施例中,可以采用“漏极”替换“源极”,“源极”替换“漏极”的连接方式。
另外,本实施例并不对第一预充电MOS管<41>和第二预充电MOS管<42>的类型进行限定,在具体的应用中,第一预充电MOS管<41>和第二预充电MOS管<42>可以为NMOS管,也可以为PMOS管。
需要说明的是,上文提及的“预设电压”即存储器预充电阶段中的预充电所需电压,具体电压大小根据存储器正常工作所需的预充电电压进行设定,在本实施例中,预设电压VBLP=1/2VDD,其中,VDD为芯片内部电源电压;在一些实施例中,预充电电压VBLP可以根据具体应用场景进行设置。
继续参考图1,在本实施例中,偏移消除模块203包括第一偏移消除MOS管<31>和第二偏移消除MOS管<32>;第一偏移消除MOS管<31>栅极用于接收偏移消除信号OC,源极或漏极的其中一者连接第二互补读出位线ISABLB,另一者连接第一读出位线SABL;第二偏移消除MOS管<32>栅极用于接收偏移消除信号OC,源极或漏极的其中一者连接第二读出位线ISABL,另一者连接第一互补读出位线SABLB。

另外,本实施例并不对第一偏移消除MOS管<31>和第二偏移消除MOS管<32>的类型进行限定,在具体的应用中,第一偏移消除MOS管<31>和第二偏移消除MOS管<32>可以为NMOS管,也可以为PMOS管。
通过第一隔离模块201隔离位线BL和第一读出位线SABL,并阻断互补位线BLB和第一互补读出位线SABLB,避免位线BL和互补位线BLB的电位变化会影响感测放大模块,从而实现提前开启字线WL但不影响感测放大模块,提前打开字线WL将存储单元100上的电位同步至初始位线BL或初始互补位线BLB,使得有充足的时间用于感测放大模块的电位放大,从而提高存储器数据读出的速度和准确性。
需要说明的是,为了突出本公开的创新部分,本实施例中并没有将与解决本公开所提出的技术问题关系不太密切的单元引入,但这并不表明本实施例中不存在其它的单元;本领域的普通技术人员可以理解,上述各实施例是实现本公开的具体实施例,而在实际应用中,可以在形式上和细节上对其作各种改变,而不偏离本公开的精神和范围。
本公开另一实施例提供了一种数据读出方法,应用于上述实施例提供的读出电路的版图结构,以下结合附图对本实施例提供的数据读出方法作进一步详细说明,具体如下:

需要说明的是,在一些实施例中,在第一读出阶段S1中第二隔离信号ISO2也可以为高电平。另外,在本实施例中,预设电压VBLP=1/2VDD,其中,VDD为芯片内部电源电压;在其他实施例中,预设电压VBLP可以根据具体应用场景进行设置。
在第二读出阶段开始阶段,维持预设时长的偏移消除信号OC,通过施加在感测放大模块两端的第一电压和第二电压,对感测放大模块进行偏移消除,同时存储阵列的字线WL打开,基于位线BL与存储阵列中存储单元内的电位进行电荷分享。

第二读出阶段包括依次执行的第一子阶段、第二子阶段和第三子阶段。
在第一子阶段,向感测放大模块两端施加第一电压和第二电压,并提供读命令和偏移消除信号。
第一子阶段即S2前阶段,字线WL基于存储器的读命令打开,用于将存储单元的电位同步至位线BL或互补位线BLB上;另外,在S2前阶段,向感测放大模块的第一信号端PCS提供第一电压,向第二信号端NCS提供第二电压,并持续提供偏移消除信号OC,将第一感测放大N管<N1>和第二感测放大N管<N2>的放大差异,以及第一感测放大P管<P1>和第二感测放大P管<P2>的放大差异形成的偏移电压差转移至第二读出位线ISABL和第二互补读出位线ISABLB上,第二读出位线ISABL和第二互补读出位线ISABLB的电位被设置为具有偏移电压的差,同时由于具有偏移消除信号OC,第一偏移消除MOS管<31>和第二偏移消除MOS管<32>导通,第二读出位线ISABL与第一读出位线SABL连接,第二互补读出位线ISABLB与第一互补读出位线SABLB连接,第一读出位线SABL和第一互补读出位线SABLB的电位同样被设置为具有偏移电压的差。因此,感测放大模块的偏移噪声被消除。
在第二子阶段,将第一电压和第二电压恢复至预设电压。
在第三子阶段,提供第一隔离信号ISO1和第二隔离信号ISO2。
第三子阶段即S2后阶段,提供第一隔离信号ISO1和第二隔离信号ISO2,将位 线BL和第一读出位线SABL电连接,将互补位线BLB和第一互补读出位线SABLB电连接,位线BL和第一读出位线SABL进行电荷分享,或互补位线BLB和第一互补读出位线SABLB电连接进行电荷分享,以通过字线WL打开的存储单元的电位同步至第一读出位线SABL或第一互补读出位线SABLB,且同步后的第一读出位线SABL或第一互补读出位线SABLB的电位具有偏移电压的差将偏移电位交叉同步(偏移消除过程中,第二读出位线ISABL上的偏移电压同步至第一互补读出位线SABLB上,在这一阶段会同步至第一读出位线SABL)后,以补偿第一感测放大N管<N1>和第二感测放大N管<N2>的放大差异,并补偿第一感测放大P管<P1>和第二感测放大P管<P2>的放大差异。
需要说明的是,参考图2,在一些实施例中,在第二子阶段还包括:提供所述均衡信号,以平衡第二读出位线ISABL第二互补读出位线ISABLB之间的电压差异。
通过隔离位线BL和第一读出位线SABL,并阻断互补位线BLB和第一互补读出位线SABLB,避免位线BL和互补位线BLB的电位变化会影响感测放大模块,从而实现提前开启字线WL但不影响感测放大模块,提前打开字线WL将存储单元100上的电位同步至初始位线BL或初始互补位线BLB,使得有充足的时间用于感测放大模块的电位放大,从而提高存储器数据读出的速度和准确性。
