一种铁电存储器及电子设备A kind of ferroelectric memory and electronic equipment 技术领域technical field
本申请涉及存储器技术领域,尤其涉及一种铁电存储器及电子设备。The present application relates to the technical field of memory, in particular to a ferroelectric memory and electronic equipment.
背景技术Background technique
随着智能信息技术在人类社会中各个方向的应用,半导体计算芯片得到了蓬勃的发展。当前大量的计算芯片基于冯诺依曼架构,即存储单元与计算单元在物理上是分离的,大量的数据需要在存储单元与计算单元之间进行交换。尽管互补金属氧化物半导体(complementary metal oxide semiconductor,CMOS)器件物理尺寸逐渐微缩,芯片的计算性能不断提高,但大量应用于内存的动态随机存取存储器(dynamic random access memory,DRAM)的读取和写入的提升速率远远小于计算性能的提升,导致目前的计算芯片存在越来越严重的冯诺依曼瓶颈,半导体计算芯片的计算性能受到冯诺依曼瓶颈的显著影响,因此需要提升内存的存取速率和容量。With the application of intelligent information technology in all directions in human society, semiconductor computing chips have developed vigorously. At present, a large number of computing chips are based on the Von Neumann architecture, that is, the storage unit and the computing unit are physically separated, and a large amount of data needs to be exchanged between the storage unit and the computing unit. Although the physical size of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices is gradually shrinking and the computing performance of chips is continuously improving, the reading and processing of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), which is widely used in memory, The improvement rate of writing is much smaller than the improvement of computing performance, which leads to more and more serious Von Neumann bottlenecks in current computing chips. The computing performance of semiconductor computing chips is significantly affected by Von Neumann bottlenecks, so it is necessary to improve memory access rate and capacity.
近年来,DRAM中的铁电存储器因其具有存储数据非易失,且存取速率快的特点,受到了广泛的关注。但是,当前的铁电存储器大多为平面结构,受器件物理尺寸和特性的影响,平面结构的铁电存储器的缩放速度逐渐放缓,存储密度难以进一步提升,因此提升铁电存储器的存储密度和容量是目前铁电存储器的发展难点。In recent years, ferroelectric memory in DRAM has received extensive attention because of its non-volatile data storage and fast access speed. However, most of the current ferroelectric memories have a planar structure. Due to the influence of the physical size and characteristics of the device, the scaling speed of the planar ferroelectric memory gradually slows down, and it is difficult to further increase the storage density. Therefore, the storage density and capacity of the ferroelectric memory are increased. It is the difficulty in the development of ferroelectric memory at present.

本申请的实施例提供一种铁电存储器及电子设备,可以解决铁电存储器中存储单元的面积大,铁电存储器的存储密度和容量低的问题。Embodiments of the present application provide a ferroelectric memory and electronic equipment, which can solve the problems of large storage unit area and low storage density and capacity of the ferroelectric memory.
为达到上述目的,本申请采用如下技术方案:In order to achieve the above object, the application adopts the following technical solutions:
第一方面,提供一种铁电存储器,该铁电存储器包括:阵列分布的多个存储单元、多条第一位线、多条第二位线、多条第一字线、多条第二字线、多条源线以及多条控制线;多个存储单元中的每个存储单元包括:读取晶体管、预充晶体管和至少一个电容组;读取晶体管的第一极与第一位线电连接,读取晶体管的第二极与源线电连接;读取晶体管的第一极设置在读取晶体管的第二极沿第一方向的一侧,读取晶体管的半导体层包括第一部分,第一部分沿第一方向延伸;读取晶体管的第一极和读取晶体管的第二极中一个为源极,另一个为漏极;预充晶体管的第一极与读取晶体管的栅极电连接,预充晶体管的第二极与第二位线电连接,预充晶体管的栅极与控制线电连接;预充晶体管的第一极设置在预充晶体管的第二极沿第一方向的一侧,预充晶体管的半导体层包括第二部分,第二部分沿第一方向延伸;预充晶体管的第一极和第二极中一个为源极,另一个为漏极;上述至少一个电容组中的每个电容组包括沿第一方向层叠设置且电连接的第一电容和第二电容;第一电容的第一电极板和第二电容的第一电极板均与读取晶体管的栅极以及预充晶体管的第一极电连接,第一电容的第二电极板与第一字线电连接,第二电容的第二电极板与第二字线电连接。In a first aspect, a ferroelectric memory is provided, which includes: a plurality of memory cells distributed in an array, a plurality of first bit lines, a plurality of second bit lines, a plurality of first word lines, a plurality of second A word line, a plurality of source lines and a plurality of control lines; each storage unit in the plurality of storage units includes: a read transistor, a precharge transistor and at least one capacitor group; the first pole of the read transistor and the first bit line Electrically connected, the second pole of the read transistor is electrically connected to the source line; the first pole of the read transistor is arranged on one side of the second pole of the read transistor along the first direction, and the semiconductor layer of the read transistor includes a first part, The first part extends along the first direction; one of the first pole of the read transistor and the second pole of the read transistor is a source, and the other is a drain; the first pole of the precharge transistor is connected to the gate electrode of the read transistor connected, the second pole of the precharge transistor is electrically connected to the second bit line, and the gate of the precharge transistor is electrically connected to the control line; the first pole of the precharge transistor is arranged on the side of the second pole of the precharge transistor along the first direction On one side, the semiconductor layer of the pre-charge transistor includes a second portion, and the second portion extends along the first direction; one of the first pole and the second pole of the pre-charge transistor is a source electrode, and the other is a drain electrode; the at least one capacitor Each capacitor group in the group includes a first capacitor and a second capacitor that are stacked and electrically connected along the first direction; the first electrode plate of the first capacitor and the first electrode plate of the second capacitor are both connected to the gate of the read transistor pole and the first pole of the precharge transistor are electrically connected, the second electrode plate of the first capacitor is electrically connected with the first word line, and the second electrode plate of the second capacitor is electrically connected with the second word line.
以第一方向为竖直方向,垂直于第一方向的方向为水平方向为例,相对于平面晶体管中第一极和第二极沿水平方向同层设置,且半导体层沿水平方向延伸而言,由于本申请中读取晶体管的第一极设置在读取晶体管的第二极沿竖直方向的一侧,且读取 晶体管的半导体层包括第一部分,第一部分沿竖直方向延伸,因此读取晶体管在水平方向上的尺寸较小,从而可以使得存储单元的尺寸减小。同样的,由于预充晶体管的第一极设置在预充晶体管的第二极沿竖直方向的一侧,且预充晶体管的半导体层包括第二部分,第二部分沿竖直方向延伸,因此预充晶体管在水平方向上的尺寸较小,从而可以使得存储单元的尺寸较小。此外,第一电容和第二电容沿竖直方向层叠设置,因而在水平方向上,可以减小第一电容和第二电容所占的面积,进而可以进一步减小存储单元所占的面积。综上,由于本申请提供的铁电存储器中存储单元所占的面积减小,因而可以提高铁电存储器的存储密度和容量。Taking the first direction as the vertical direction and the direction perpendicular to the first direction as the horizontal direction as an example, compared to the planar transistor in which the first pole and the second pole are arranged in the same layer along the horizontal direction, and the semiconductor layer extends along the horizontal direction , since the first pole of the read transistor is arranged on one side of the second pole of the read transistor in the vertical direction in the present application, and the semiconductor layer of the read transistor includes a first portion extending in the vertical direction, the read The size of the transistor in the horizontal direction is smaller, so that the size of the memory cell can be reduced. Likewise, since the first pole of the pre-charge transistor is arranged on one side of the second pole of the pre-charge transistor along the vertical direction, and the semiconductor layer of the pre-charge transistor includes a second portion extending in the vertical direction, therefore The size of the pre-charge transistor is smaller in the horizontal direction, so that the size of the memory cell can be made smaller. In addition, the first capacitor and the second capacitor are stacked vertically, so in the horizontal direction, the area occupied by the first capacitor and the second capacitor can be reduced, and the area occupied by the storage unit can be further reduced. To sum up, since the area occupied by the storage unit in the ferroelectric memory provided by the present application is reduced, the storage density and capacity of the ferroelectric memory can be improved.

由于预充晶体管沿第一方向与读取晶体管层叠设置,以第一方向为竖直方向,垂直于第一方向的方向为水平方向为例,因此在水平方向上,可以减小预充晶体管和读取晶体管所占的面积,进而可以减小存储单元所占的面积。Since the pre-charge transistor is stacked with the read transistor along the first direction, taking the first direction as the vertical direction and the direction perpendicular to the first direction as the horizontal direction as an example, in the horizontal direction, the pre-charge transistor and the read transistor can be reduced The area occupied by the read transistor can further reduce the area occupied by the memory cell.

由于环栅晶体管相对于平面晶体管的面积较小,因而当读取晶体管和/或预充晶体管为环栅晶体管时,可以减小存储单元所占的面积。Since the area of the gate-around transistor is smaller than that of the planar transistor, when the read transistor and/or the precharge transistor is a gate-around transistor, the area occupied by the memory unit can be reduced.

目前,铁电存储器因其具有存储数据非易失,且存取速率快的特点,因而得到了广泛的应用例如用于作为内存储器112。铁电存储器10包括阵列分布的多个存储单元,相关技术提供的存储单元的结构包括以下几种:At present, the ferroelectric memory has been widely used, for example, as the internal memory 112 because of its characteristics of storing data in a non-volatile manner and having a fast access rate. The ferroelectric memory 10 includes a plurality of memory cells distributed in an array, and the structure of the memory cells provided by the related art includes the following types:
第一种,存储单元包括基于铁电电容(ferro electric capacitor)的电路结构,如图3a所示,该存储单元具有1T1C(1-transistor-1-capacitor)结构,即一个存储单元包括一个铁电电容C和一个晶体管T,晶体管T的源极与位线(bit line,BL)电连接,漏极与铁电电容C的一个电极板电连接,栅极与字线(word line,WL)电连接,铁电电 容C的另一个电极板与板线(plate line,PL)电连接。图3a所示的存储单元存储信息的读取基于铁电电容的极化翻转电流,然而为了产生足够大的读取电流,存储单元中的铁电电容C需要具有较大的尺寸,这就导致存储单元的物理尺寸难以进一步微缩,从而限制了铁电存储器的存储密度的提升。The first type, the memory cell includes a circuit structure based on ferroelectric capacitor (ferro electric capacitor), as shown in Figure 3a, the memory cell has a 1T1C (1-transistor-1-capacitor) structure, that is, a memory cell includes a ferroelectric Capacitor C and a transistor T, the source of the transistor T is electrically connected to the bit line (bit line, BL), the drain is electrically connected to an electrode plate of the ferroelectric capacitor C, and the gate is electrically connected to the word line (WL) The other electrode plate of the ferroelectric capacitor C is electrically connected to the plate line (PL). The reading of the stored information in the memory cell shown in Figure 3a is based on the polarization reversal current of the ferroelectric capacitor. However, in order to generate a sufficiently large read current, the ferroelectric capacitor C in the memory cell needs to have a larger size, which leads to The physical size of the storage unit is difficult to shrink further, thus limiting the improvement of the storage density of the ferroelectric memory.
第二种,存储单元包括基于铁电场效应晶体管(ferroelectric field-effect transistor,FeFET)的电路结构,如图3b所示,该存储单元包括铁电场效应晶体管T,铁电场效应晶体管T的源极与源线(source line,SL)电连接,漏极与位线BL电连接,栅极与字线WL电连接,铁电场效应晶体管T的栅介质层(也可以称为铁电层)的材料为铁电材料例如二氧化铪(HfO 2)等。铁电场效应晶体管T通过电压脉冲改变铁电层的极性存储数据,并通过读取晶体管的源漏电流来得到存储数据,其读取机制为非破坏性,并具有较高的密度。然而,由于铁电场效应晶体管T中铁电层的界面层因素,因而其数据开关特性较差。 In the second type, the memory cell includes a circuit structure based on a ferroelectric field-effect transistor (ferroelectric field-effect transistor, FeFET). As shown in FIG. The source line (source line, SL) is electrically connected, the drain is electrically connected to the bit line BL, and the gate is electrically connected to the word line WL. The material of the gate dielectric layer (also called a ferroelectric layer) of the ferroelectric field effect transistor T is Ferroelectric materials such as hafnium dioxide (HfO 2 ) and the like. The ferroelectric field effect transistor T stores data by changing the polarity of the ferroelectric layer through voltage pulses, and obtains the stored data by reading the source and drain currents of the transistor. The read mechanism is non-destructive and has a high density. However, due to the interface layer factor of the ferroelectric layer in the ferroelectric field effect transistor T, its data switching characteristics are poor.
第三种,存储单元包括基于铁电存储晶体管(ferroelectric memory field-effect transistor,FeMFET)的电路结构,如图3c所示,该存储单元包括晶体管T和铁电电容C,该晶体管T是常规晶体管,不是铁电场效应晶体管,晶体管T的栅极与铁电电容C的一个电极板电连接,源极与源线SL电连接,漏极与位线BL电连接,铁电电容C的另一个电极板与字线WL电连接。基于铁电存储晶体管的存储单元结合了基于铁电电容的存储单元(即上述第一种存储单元)以及基于铁电场效应晶体管的存储单元(即上述第二种存储单元)的优点,使得基于铁电存储晶体管的电路结构的存储单元既具有较好的数据开关特性,又具有较好的尺寸微缩能力。然而,在读操作时,晶体管T的栅极和铁电电容C的电极板连接处形成的浮空节点A存在漏电流,而且在写操作过程中,基于晶体管T和铁电电容C的连接关系,由于铁电电容C会分压,因此需要字线WL提供较高的写操作电压。The third type, the memory cell includes a circuit structure based on a ferroelectric memory field-effect transistor (FeMFET), as shown in Figure 3c, the memory cell includes a transistor T and a ferroelectric capacitor C, and the transistor T is a conventional transistor , not a ferroelectric field effect transistor, the gate of the transistor T is electrically connected to one electrode plate of the ferroelectric capacitor C, the source is electrically connected to the source line SL, the drain is electrically connected to the bit line BL, and the other electrode of the ferroelectric capacitor C The plate is electrically connected to the word line WL. The storage unit based on the ferroelectric storage transistor combines the advantages of the storage unit based on the ferroelectric capacitor (that is, the first storage unit) and the storage unit based on the ferroelectric field effect transistor (that is, the second storage unit above), so that the storage unit based on ferroelectric The storage unit with the circuit structure of the electric storage transistor not only has better data switching characteristics, but also has better size reduction capability. However, during the read operation, there is a leakage current at the floating node A formed at the connection between the gate of the transistor T and the electrode plate of the ferroelectric capacitor C, and during the write operation, based on the connection relationship between the transistor T and the ferroelectric capacitor C, Since the ferroelectric capacitor C divides the voltage, the word line WL needs to provide a higher write operation voltage.
第四种,存储单元包括基于2T1C(2-transistor-1-capacitor)的电路结构,此时,存储单元也可以称为增益单元(gain cell),如图3d所示,该存储单元包括第一晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2和铁电电容C,第一晶体管T1的源极与源线SL电连接,漏极与接地端GND电连接,栅极与铁电电容C的一个电极板电连接,铁电电容的另一个电极板与字线WL电连接,第二晶体管T2的源极与第一晶体管T1的栅极电连接,漏极与位线BL电连接,栅极与板线PL电连接。基于2T1C的存储单元具有与基于铁电存储晶体管的存储单元(即上述第三种存储单元)类似的优点,但是在写操作时,由于没有铁电电容C的分压,写操作电压较低,而在读操作时,通过引入额外的第一晶体管(也可以称为预充晶体管)T1,浮空节点A的电位可在读操作之前被设定至固定值,从而可以避免存储信息的流失。然而,由于引入了额外的预充晶体管T1,因而导致基于2T1C的存储单元的单比特面积较大,从而导致存储密度较低。Fourth, the storage unit includes a circuit structure based on 2T1C (2-transistor-1-capacitor), at this time, the storage unit can also be called a gain cell (gain cell), as shown in Figure 3d, the storage unit includes the first The transistor T1, the second transistor T2 and the ferroelectric capacitor C, the source of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the source line SL, the drain is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND, and the gate is electrically connected to an electrode plate of the ferroelectric capacitor C, The other electrode plate of the ferroelectric capacitor is electrically connected to the word line WL, the source of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the gate of the first transistor T1, the drain is electrically connected to the bit line BL, and the gate is electrically connected to the plate line PL . The memory cell based on 2T1C has similar advantages to the memory cell based on the ferroelectric storage transistor (that is, the third memory cell mentioned above), but during the write operation, since there is no voltage division of the ferroelectric capacitor C, the write operation voltage is low, In the read operation, by introducing an additional first transistor (also called a pre-charge transistor) T1, the potential of the floating node A can be set to a fixed value before the read operation, thereby avoiding the loss of stored information. However, due to the introduction of an additional pre-charge transistor T1, the 2T1C-based memory cell has a larger single-bit area, resulting in a lower storage density.
为了解决上述相关技术提供的铁电存储器中存储单元的面积较大,存储密度较低的问题,本申请实施例还提供一种铁电存储器,该铁电存储器可以应用于上述的电子设备1中,例如可以作为上述电子设备1中的内部存储器112。以下通过几个具体的实施例对本申请提供的铁电存储器的结构进行示例性介绍。In order to solve the problem of large storage unit area and low storage density in the ferroelectric memory provided by the above-mentioned related technology, the embodiment of the present application also provides a ferroelectric memory, which can be applied to the above-mentioned electronic device 1 , for example, can be used as the internal memory 112 in the above-mentioned electronic device 1 .

On this basis, compared to additionally providing a connecting portion to electrically connect the floating gate electrode 109 with the gate 103 of the read transistor STR and the first electrode 101 of the pre-charge transistor PTR, using the floating gate electrode 109 itself to connect with the read The structure of the memory cell 100 can be further simplified by electrically connecting the gate 103 of the transistor STR and the first electrode 101 of the precharge transistor PTR.
在此基础上,在存储单元100包括浮空栅电极109的情况下,在一些示例中,上述第一字线WL与浮空栅电极109相交,第一字线WL与浮空栅电极109相交的部分用于作为第一电容C1的第二电极板1072。利用第一字线WL的部分作为第一电容C1的第二电极板1072,这样无需单独制作第一电容C1的第二电极板1072,从而可以简化存储单元100的结构。On this basis, when the memory cell 100 includes the floating gate electrode 109, in some examples, the first word line WL intersects the floating gate electrode 109, and the first word line WL intersects the floating gate electrode 109 A part of is used as the second electrode plate 1072 of the first capacitor C1. Using part of the first word line WL as the second electrode plate 1072 of the first capacitor C1 does not need to separately manufacture the second electrode plate 1072 of the first capacitor C1, thereby simplifying the structure of the memory cell 100 .
此处,第一字线WL与浮空栅电极109在垂直于第一方向X的平面上的投影可以是相互垂直,也可以是两者之间的夹角为锐角。Here, the projections of the first word line WL and the floating gate electrode 109 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X may be perpendicular to each other, or the angle between them may be an acute angle.
在另一些示例中,第一电容C1的第二电极板1072和第一字线WL是分别制作的两个部分。In some other examples, the second electrode plate 1072 of the first capacitor C1 and the first word line WL are two parts fabricated separately.
同样的,在存储单元100包括浮空栅电极109的情况下,在一些示例中,上述第二字线WL'与浮空栅电极109相交,第二字线WL'与浮空栅电极109相交的部分用于作为第二电容C2的第二电极板1072。利用第二字线WL'的部分作为第二电容C2的第二电极板1072,这样无需单独制作第二电容C2的第二电极板1072,从而可以简化存储单元100的结构。Similarly, in the case that the memory cell 100 includes the floating gate electrode 109, in some examples, the above-mentioned second word line WL' intersects the floating gate electrode 109, and the second word line WL' intersects the floating gate electrode 109 A part of is used as the second electrode plate 1072 of the second capacitor C2. Using part of the second word line WL' as the second electrode plate 1072 of the second capacitor C2 does not need to separately manufacture the second electrode plate 1072 of the second capacitor C2, thereby simplifying the structure of the memory cell 100 .
此处,第二字线WL'与浮空栅电极109在垂直于第一方向X的平面上的投影可以是相互垂直,也可以是两者之间的夹角为锐角。Here, the projections of the second word line WL′ and the floating gate electrode 109 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X may be perpendicular to each other, or the angle between them may be an acute angle.
在另一些示例中,第二电容C2的第二电极板1072和第二字线WL'是分别制作的两个部分。In some other examples, the second electrode plate 1072 of the second capacitor C2 and the second word line WL' are two parts fabricated separately.
以第一方向X为竖直方向X,垂直于第一方向X的方向为水平方向为例,相对于第一电容C1和第二电容C2沿水平方向同层设置而言,由于本实施例一中,第一电容C1和第二电容C2沿竖直方向X层叠设置,即第一电容C1和第二电容C2进行三维堆叠,因而在水平方向上,可以减小第一电容C1和第二电容C2所占的面积,进而可以进一步减小存储单元100所占的面积。Taking the first direction X as the vertical direction X, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction X as the horizontal direction as an example, compared to the arrangement of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 in the same layer along the horizontal direction, due to the first Among them, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are stacked along the vertical direction X, that is, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are three-dimensionally stacked, so in the horizontal direction, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor can be reduced The area occupied by C2 can further reduce the area occupied by the storage unit 100 .
可以理解的是,对于电容组107中沿第一方向X层叠设置的第一电容C1和第二电容C2而言,可以是沿第一方向X,第一电容C1和第二电容C2完全重叠;也可以是沿第一方向X,第一电容C1和第二电容C2部分重叠。It can be understood that, for the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 stacked along the first direction X in the capacitor group 107, along the first direction X, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 completely overlap; It may also be that along the first direction X, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 partially overlap.
在沿第一方向X,第一电容C1和第二电容C2完全重叠的情况下,在垂直于第一方向X的平面上,可以进一步减小第一电容C1和第二电容C2所占的面积,进而可以进一步减小存储单元100所占的面积。In the case that the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 completely overlap along the first direction X, on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the area occupied by the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 can be further reduced , so that the area occupied by the memory unit 100 can be further reduced.
应当理解到,每条第一位线BL和每条第二位线BL'可以与沿第一位线BL和第二位线BL'的延伸方向排列的m个存储单元100电连接;其中,m≥1,m为正整数。每条第一字线WL、每条第二字线WL'以及每条控制线CL可以与沿第一字线WL、第二字线WL'以及控制线CL的延伸方向排列的p个存储单元100电连接;其中,p≥1,p为正整数。It should be understood that each first bit line BL and each second bit line BL' may be electrically connected to m memory cells 100 arranged along the extending direction of the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL'; wherein, m≥1, m is a positive integer. Each first word line WL, each second word line WL' and each control line CL can be associated with p memory cells arranged along the extending direction of the first word line WL, the second word line WL' and the control line CL 100 electrical connections; wherein, p≥1, p is a positive integer.
需要说明的是,在一些示例中,与同一个存储单元100电连接的第一位线BL和 第二位线BL'电连接。在此情况下,可以通过一个电压端同时向第一位线BL和第二位线BL'提供电压,这样可以简化铁电存储器10的结构。It should be noted that, in some examples, the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL' electrically connected to the same memory cell 100 are electrically connected. In this case, voltages can be supplied to the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL' simultaneously through one voltage terminal, which can simplify the structure of the ferroelectric memory 10 .
在另一些示例中,与同一个存储单元100电连接的第一位线BL和第二位线BL'相互不电连接。在此情况下,可以通过两个电压端分别向第一位线BL和第二位线BL'提供电压,施加到第一位线BL上的电压和施加到第二位线BL'上的电压可以相同,也可以不相同。由于施加到第一位线BL上的电压和施加到第二位线BL'上的电压可以灵活进行调整,从而提高了铁电存储器10应用的灵活性。In some other examples, the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL' electrically connected to the same memory cell 100 are not electrically connected to each other. In this case, voltages can be supplied to the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL' respectively through two voltage terminals, the voltage applied to the first bit line BL and the voltage applied to the second bit line BL' Can be the same or different. Since the voltage applied to the first bit line BL and the voltage applied to the second bit line BL' can be flexibly adjusted, the application flexibility of the ferroelectric memory 10 is improved.
在与同一个存储单元100电连接的第一位线BL和第二位线BL'电连接的情况下,如图4b所示,第一位线BL和第二位线BL'可以通过位线接触通孔(BL pickup)108电连接。在此基础上,与同一个存储单元100电连接的第一位线BL和第二位线BL'可以每间隔一段距离通过位线接触通孔108电连接,示例的,与同一个存储单元100电连接的第一位线BL和第二位线BL'可以每间隔t个存储单元100通过位线接触通孔108电连接在一起。In the case where the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL' are electrically connected to the same memory cell 100, as shown in FIG. 4b, the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL' can pass through the bit line Contact vias (BL pickups) 108 are electrically connected. On this basis, the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL' electrically connected to the same memory cell 100 can be electrically connected through bit line contact vias 108 at intervals, for example, the same memory cell 100 The electrically connected first bit line BL and the second bit line BL′ can be electrically connected together through the bit line contact via hole 108 at intervals of t memory cells 100 .
基于上述,以下以一个存储单元100为例对铁电存储器10的写操作过程和读操作过程进行详细说明。Based on the above, the writing operation process and the reading operation process of the ferroelectric memory 10 will be described in detail below by taking one memory cell 100 as an example.
写操作过程:参考图4c,以在第一电容C1中存储逻辑信息为例,向与待写入存储单元100电连接的控制线CL提供控制信号,控制预充晶体管PTR导通;若向与待写入存储单元100电连接的第二位线BL'施加电压0,向与待写入第一电容C1电连接的第一字线WL施加电压Vdd,则可以写入第一逻辑信息例如“0”;若向与待写入存储单元100电连接的第二位线BL'提供电压Vdd,向与待写入第一电容C1电连接的第一字线WL施加电压0,则可以写入第二逻辑信息“1”。Writing operation process: Referring to FIG. 4c, taking the storage of logic information in the first capacitor C1 as an example, a control signal is provided to the control line CL electrically connected to the storage unit 100 to be written to control the conduction of the pre-charge transistor PTR; The voltage 0 is applied to the second bit line BL' electrically connected to the memory cell 100 to be written, and the voltage Vdd is applied to the first word line WL electrically connected to the first capacitor C1 to be written, so that the first logic information such as " 0"; if a voltage Vdd is provided to the second bit line BL' electrically connected to the memory cell 100 to be written, and a voltage 0 is applied to the first word line WL electrically connected to the first capacitor C1 to be written, then it is possible to write The second logic information is "1".
读操作过程:参考图4c,以读取第一电容C1中存储的逻辑信息为例,向与待读取存储单元100电连接的控制线CL提供控制信号,控制预充晶体管PTR导通,向与待读取存储单元100电连接的第二位线BL'提供电压1/2Vdd,并通过预充晶体管PTR将电压1/2Vdd预充到预充晶体管PTR的第一极和读取晶体管STR的栅极;向与待读取第一电容C1电连接的第一字线WL施加电压Vdd,其它第一字线WL以及所有的第二字线WL'施加接地电压。由于若第一电容C1中存储的是第一逻辑信息例如“0”,则第一电容C1的第一电极板的电压会降低,即预充晶体管PTR的第一极与读取晶体管STR的栅极的电压会降低,小于1/2Vdd;若第一电容C1中存储的是第二逻辑信息例如“1”,则第一电容C1的第一电极板的电压保持在1/2Vdd,即预充晶体管PTR的第一极与读取晶体管STR的栅极的电压保持在1/2Vdd,由于读取晶体管STR的栅极电压的变化会影响源线SL上的电流,因而向与待读取存储单元100电连接的第一位线BL提供第一电压,通过读取与待读取存储单元100电连接的源线SL的电流,便可以确定第一电容C1中存储的是第一逻辑信息例如“0”,还是第二逻辑信息例如“1”。Read operation process: Referring to FIG. 4c, taking reading the logic information stored in the first capacitor C1 as an example, a control signal is provided to the control line CL electrically connected to the storage unit 100 to be read, and the pre-charge transistor PTR is controlled to be turned on, and the The second bit line BL' electrically connected to the memory cell 100 to be read provides a voltage of 1/2Vdd, and precharges the voltage 1/2Vdd to the first electrode of the precharge transistor PTR and the terminal of the read transistor STR through the precharge transistor PTR. Gate: applying a voltage Vdd to the first word line WL electrically connected to the first capacitor C1 to be read, and applying a ground voltage to the other first word lines WL and all the second word lines WL'. If the first logic information such as "0" is stored in the first capacitor C1, the voltage of the first electrode plate of the first capacitor C1 will decrease, that is, the first pole of the precharge transistor PTR and the gate of the read transistor STR The voltage of the first electrode plate of the first capacitor C1 will be reduced to less than 1/2Vdd; if the second logic information such as "1" is stored in the first capacitor C1, the voltage of the first electrode plate of the first capacitor C1 will remain at 1/2Vdd, that is, pre-charge The voltage of the first electrode of the transistor PTR and the gate of the read transistor STR is maintained at 1/2Vdd, because the change of the gate voltage of the read transistor STR will affect the current on the source line SL, thus to the memory cell to be read The first bit line BL electrically connected to 100 provides the first voltage, and by reading the current of the source line SL electrically connected to the memory cell 100 to be read, it can be determined that the storage in the first capacitor C1 is the first logic information such as " 0", or second logic information such as "1".
在本实施例一中,由于读取晶体管STR和预充晶体管PTR均为垂直沟道晶体管,读取晶体管STR的第一极101设置在读取晶体管STR的第二极102沿第一方向X的一侧,预充晶体管PTR的第一极101设置在预充晶体管PTR的第二极102沿第一方向X的一侧,且读取晶体管STR的半导体层104包括第一部分,第一部分沿第一方向X延伸,预充晶体管PTR的半导体层104包括第二部分,第二部分沿第一方向X延伸, 此外,第一电容C1和第二电容C2沿第一方向X层叠设置,因而在垂直于第一方向X的平面上,可以有效地减小存储单元100所占的面积,从而可以提高铁电存储器10的存储密度和容量。In the first embodiment, since both the read transistor STR and the precharge transistor PTR are vertical channel transistors, the first pole 101 of the read transistor STR is set at the position of the second pole 102 of the read transistor STR along the first direction X. On one side, the first pole 101 of the pre-charge transistor PTR is arranged on the side of the second pole 102 of the pre-charge transistor PTR along the first direction X, and the semiconductor layer 104 of the read transistor STR includes a first portion, and the first portion is along the first direction X. The semiconductor layer 104 of the pre-charge transistor PTR includes a second portion, and the second portion extends along the first direction X. In addition, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are stacked along the first direction X, so that they are vertical to On the plane of the first direction X, the area occupied by the memory unit 100 can be effectively reduced, thereby increasing the storage density and capacity of the ferroelectric memory 10 .

请继续参考图7,上述环栅晶体管还包括:第一绝缘介质层106、第二绝缘介质层110、半导体层104以及栅介质层105;环栅晶体管的第一绝缘介质层106设置在环栅晶体管的第一极101和环栅晶体管的栅极103之间;环栅晶体管的第二绝缘介质层110设置在环栅晶体管的第二极102与环栅晶体管的栅极103之间;环栅晶体管的半导体层104包括第二部分,第二部分沿第一方向X延伸;环栅晶体管的半导体层104依次贯穿环栅晶体管的第一极101、环栅晶体管的第一绝缘介质层103、环栅晶体管的栅极103、环栅晶体管的第二绝缘介质层110以及环栅晶体管的第二极102;环栅晶体管的第一极101和环栅晶体管的第二极102分别与环栅晶体管的半导体层104接触,环栅晶体管的栅介质层105设置在环栅晶体管的半导体层104和环栅晶体管的栅极103之间。Please continue to refer to FIG. 7, the above-mentioned gate-all-around transistor also includes: a first insulating dielectric layer 106, a second insulating dielectric layer 110, a semiconductor layer 104, and a gate dielectric layer 105; the first insulating dielectric layer 106 of the gate-all-round transistor is arranged on the Between the first pole 101 of the transistor and the gate 103 of the gate-around transistor; the second insulating medium layer 110 of the gate-around transistor is arranged between the second pole 102 of the gate-around transistor and the gate 103 of the gate-around transistor; The semiconductor layer 104 of the transistor includes a second part, and the second part extends along the first direction X; the semiconductor layer 104 of the gate-around transistor sequentially penetrates through the first pole 101 of the gate-around transistor, the first insulating medium layer 103 of the gate-around transistor, the ring The gate 103 of the gate transistor, the second insulating medium layer 110 of the gate-around transistor, and the second pole 102 of the gate-around transistor; the first pole 101 of the gate-around transistor and the second pole 102 of the gate-around transistor are respectively connected with the gate-around transistor The semiconductor layer 104 is in contact, and the gate dielectric layer 105 of the gate-around transistor is disposed between the semiconductor layer 104 of the gate-around transistor and the gate 103 of the gate-around transistor.
在本实施例中,环栅晶体管的半导体层104可以只包括第二部分,第二部分沿第 一方向X延伸。In this embodiment, the semiconductor layer 104 of the gate-all-around transistor may only include the second portion, and the second portion extends along the first direction X.
可以理解的是,在存储单元100包括浮空栅电极109的情况下,预充晶体管PTR的半导体层104和浮空栅电极109之间可以设置绝缘层,以将半导体层104和浮空栅电极109间隔开。It can be understood that, in the case that the memory cell 100 includes a floating gate electrode 109, an insulating layer may be provided between the semiconductor layer 104 and the floating gate electrode 109 of the prefill transistor PTR, so that the semiconductor layer 104 and the floating gate electrode 109 spaced apart.
此处,环栅晶体管的栅极103的材料、环栅晶体管的第一极101的材料、环栅晶体管的第二极102的材料、环栅晶体管的栅介质层105的材料以及环栅晶体管的半导体层104的材料可以参考上述实施例一,此处不再赘述。Here, the material of the gate 103 of the surrounding gate transistor, the material of the first pole 101 of the surrounding gate transistor, the material of the second pole 102 of the surrounding gate transistor, the material of the gate dielectric layer 105 of the surrounding gate transistor, and the material of the surrounding gate transistor For the material of the semiconductor layer 104, reference may be made to the first embodiment above, which will not be repeated here.
在本实施例二中,读取晶体管STR为垂直沟道晶体管,可以参考上述实施例一有关垂直沟道晶体管的相关描述,此处不再赘述。In the second embodiment, the reading transistor STR is a vertical channel transistor, and reference may be made to the relevant description of the vertical channel transistor in the first embodiment above, and details are not repeated here.
在此基础上,上述预充晶体管PTR沿第一方向X可以与读取晶体管STR层叠设置,也可以不与读取晶体管STR层叠设置。在预充晶体管PTR沿第一方向X与读取晶体管STR层叠设置的情况下,在垂直于第一方向X的方向上,可以减小预充晶体管PTR和读取晶体管STR所占的面积,进而可以减小存储单元100所占的面积。On this basis, the above-mentioned pre-charge transistor PTR may be stacked with the read transistor STR along the first direction X, or may not be stacked with the read transistor STR. In the case where the precharge transistor PTR is stacked with the read transistor STR along the first direction X, in the direction perpendicular to the first direction X, the area occupied by the precharge transistor PTR and the read transistor STR can be reduced, thereby The area occupied by the memory cell 100 can be reduced.
此处,沿第一方向X,可以是预充晶体管PTR设置在上方,读取晶体管STR设置在下方,即先制作读取晶体管STR,再制作预充晶体管PTR;也可以是预充晶体管PTR设置在下方,读取晶体管STR设置在上方,即先制作预充晶体管PTR,再制作读取晶体管STR。Here, along the first direction X, the precharge transistor PTR can be arranged at the top, and the read transistor STR can be arranged at the bottom, that is, the read transistor STR is fabricated first, and then the precharge transistor PTR is fabricated; or the precharge transistor PTR can be arranged At the bottom, the read transistor STR is arranged at the top, that is, the precharge transistor PTR is fabricated first, and then the read transistor STR is fabricated.
以第一方向X为竖直方向X,垂直于第一方向X的方向为水平方向为例,相对于平面晶体管中的第一极101和第二极102沿水平方向同层设置,且半导体层104沿水平方向延伸而言,在本实施例二中,由于预充晶体管PTR为环栅晶体管,环栅晶体管的第一极101和环栅晶体管的第二极102沿竖直方向X层叠设置,且环栅晶体管的半导体层104包括第二部分,第二部分沿竖直方向X延伸,因而预充晶体管PTR在水平方向X上的尺寸较小,从而可以使得存储单元100的尺寸较小,进而可以提高铁电存储器10的存储密度和容量。Taking the first direction X as the vertical direction X, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction X as the horizontal direction as an example, the first pole 101 and the second pole 102 in the planar transistor are arranged in the same layer along the horizontal direction, and the semiconductor layer 104 extending along the horizontal direction, in the second embodiment, since the pre-charge transistor PTR is a gate-around transistor, the first pole 101 of the gate-around transistor and the second pole 102 of the gate-around transistor are stacked along the vertical direction X, And the semiconductor layer 104 of the gate-around transistor includes a second part, and the second part extends along the vertical direction X, so the size of the pre-charge transistor PTR in the horizontal direction X is relatively small, so that the size of the memory cell 100 can be made small, and further The storage density and capacity of the ferroelectric memory 10 can be increased.
在此基础上,在预充晶体管PTR为环栅晶体管的情况下,由于环栅晶体管的栅极103设置在环栅晶体管的第一极101和环栅晶体管的第二极102之间,而环栅晶体管的第二极102与第二位线BL'电连接,环栅晶体管的第一极101与浮空栅电极109电连接,这样一来,与环栅晶体管的栅极103电连接的控制线CL可以设置在第二位线BL'和浮空栅电极109之间,相对于预充晶体管PTR为垂直沟道晶体管的情况下,控制线CL设置在第二位线BL'远离浮空栅电极109的一侧,与环栅晶体管的栅极103电连接的控制线CL设置在第二位线BL'和浮空栅电极109之间可以减小铁电存储器10沿第一方向X的尺寸。在此基础上,控制线CL还可以和第二字线WL'同时制作,从而可以减少一张掩膜板,这样一来,在铁电存储器10的制作过程中,可以减少工艺步骤和成本。On this basis, in the case where the pre-charge transistor PTR is a gate-around transistor, since the gate 103 of the gate-around transistor is arranged between the first pole 101 of the gate-around transistor and the second pole 102 of the gate-around transistor, the The second pole 102 of the gate transistor is electrically connected to the second bit line BL', and the first pole 101 of the gate-around transistor is electrically connected to the floating gate electrode 109. In this way, the control gate 103 electrically connected to the gate-around transistor The line CL can be arranged between the second bit line BL' and the floating gate electrode 109. In the case where the pre-charge transistor PTR is a vertical channel transistor, the control line CL is arranged on the second bit line BL' away from the floating gate electrode 109. On one side of the electrode 109, the control line CL electrically connected to the gate 103 of the surrounding gate transistor is arranged between the second bit line BL' and the floating gate electrode 109, which can reduce the size of the ferroelectric memory 10 along the first direction X . On this basis, the control line CL can be fabricated simultaneously with the second word line WL', so that a mask can be reduced. In this way, process steps and costs can be reduced during the fabrication of the ferroelectric memory 10 .

以第一方向X为竖直方向X,垂直于第一方向X的方向为水平方向为例,相对于平面晶体管中的第一极101和第二极102沿水平方向同层设置,且半导体层104沿水平方向延伸而言,在本实施例三中,由于读取晶体管STR为环栅晶体管,环栅晶体管的第一极101和环栅晶体管的第二极102沿竖直方向X层叠设置,且环栅晶体管的半导体层104包括第一部分,第一部分沿竖直方向X延伸,因而读取晶体管STR在水平方向X上的尺寸较小,从而可以使得存储单元100的尺寸较小,进而可以提高铁电存储器10的存储密度和容量。Taking the first direction X as the vertical direction X, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction X as the horizontal direction as an example, the first pole 101 and the second pole 102 in the planar transistor are arranged in the same layer along the horizontal direction, and the semiconductor layer 104 extending along the horizontal direction, in the third embodiment, since the reading transistor STR is a gate-around transistor, the first pole 101 of the gate-around transistor and the second pole 102 of the gate-around transistor are stacked along the vertical direction X, And the semiconductor layer 104 of the gate-around transistor includes a first part, and the first part extends along the vertical direction X, so the size of the read transistor STR in the horizontal direction X is relatively small, so that the size of the memory cell 100 can be made small, thereby improving Storage density and capacity of ferroelectric memory 10.
在此基础上,上述预充晶体管PTR沿第一方向X可以与读取晶体管STR层叠设置,也可以不与读取晶体管STR层叠设置。在预充晶体管PTR沿第一方向X与读取晶体管STR层叠设置的情况下,在垂直于第一方向X的平面上,可以减小预充晶体管PTR和读取晶体管STR所占的面积,进而可以减小存储单元100所占的面积。On this basis, the above-mentioned pre-charge transistor PTR may be stacked with the read transistor STR along the first direction X, or may not be stacked with the read transistor STR.

实施例四Embodiment Four
实施例四和实施例一的区别之处在于,预充晶体管PTR的结构以及读取晶体管STR的结构均不相同,在实施例一中,预充晶体管PTR为垂直沟道晶体管,读取晶体管STR为垂直沟道晶体管,在实施例四中,预充晶体管PTR为环栅晶体管,读取晶 体管STR为环栅晶体管。The difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the structure of the pre-charge transistor PTR and the structure of the read transistor STR are different.

预充晶体管PTR为环栅晶体管,预充晶体管PTR的结构、连接关系、以及预充晶体管PTR为环栅晶体管所具有的有益效果可以参考上述实施例二,本实施例四不再赘述。读取晶体管STR为环栅晶体管,读取晶体管STR的结构、连接关系、以及读取晶体管STR为环栅晶体管所具有的有益效果可以参考上述实施例三,本实施例四不再赘述。The pre-charge transistor PTR is a gate-all-around transistor. The structure and connection relationship of the pre-charge transistor PTR and the beneficial effects of the pre-charge transistor PTR being a gate-all-around transistor can be referred to the second embodiment above, and the fourth embodiment will not be repeated. The readout transistor STR is a gate-all-around transistor, and the structure and connection relationship of the readout transistor STR and the beneficial effects of the readout transistor STR being a gate-all-around transistor can be referred to the above-mentioned third embodiment, which will not be repeated in this fourth embodiment.
在此基础上,上述预充晶体管PTR沿第一方向X可以与读取晶体管STR层叠设置,也可以不与读取晶体管STR层叠设置。在预充晶体管PTR沿第一方向X与读取晶体管STR层叠设置的情况下,在垂直于第一方向X的平面上,可以减小预充晶体管PTR和读取晶体管STR所占的面积,进而可以减小存储单元100所占的面积。On this basis, the above-mentioned pre-charge transistor PTR may be stacked with the read transistor STR along the first direction X, or may not be stacked with the read transistor STR. In the case where the precharge transistor PTR is stacked with the read transistor STR along the first direction X, on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the area occupied by the precharge transistor PTR and the read transistor STR can be reduced, thereby The area occupied by the memory cell 100 can be reduced.
图10a和图10b提供的存储单元的电路结构均如图4c所示,图10a为本实施例四提供的铁电存储器10中一个存储单元100在垂直第一方向X的平面上的俯视结构示意图,其中,预充晶体管PTR和读取晶体管STR均为图7所示的环栅晶体管。图10b为相关技术提供的铁电存储器10中一个存储单元100在垂直于第一方向X的平面上的俯视结构示意图,其中,预充晶体管PTR和读取晶体管STR均为平面晶体管。通过对比图10a和图10b可知,本实施例四提供的铁电存储器10中的预充晶体管PTR和读取晶体管STR在垂直于第一方向X的平面所占的面积大大减小。当存储单元100中电容的个数n为16时,一个存储单元100在垂直于第一方向X的平面上的投影的面积可以减小31%左右。The circuit structures of the memory cells provided in FIG. 10a and FIG. 10b are both shown in FIG. 4c, and FIG. 10a is a schematic top view of a memory cell 100 in the ferroelectric memory 10 provided in Embodiment 4 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X , wherein both the precharge transistor PTR and the read transistor STR are gate-around transistors as shown in FIG. 7 . 10b is a schematic top view of a memory cell 100 in a ferroelectric memory 10 provided in the related art on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X, wherein both the precharge transistor PTR and the read transistor STR are planar transistors.

When the number n of capacitors in the storage unit 100 is 16, the projected area of a storage unit 100 on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X can be reduced by about 31%.
实施例五Embodiment five
实施例五和实施例一的区别之处在于,源线SL与第一位线BL、第二位线BL'的位置关系不同,在实施例一中,多条源线SL与多条第一位线BL、多条第二位线BL'相交;在实施例五中,多条源线SL与多条第一位线BL相互平行,多条源线SL与多条第二位线BL'相互平行。The difference between the fifth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the positional relationship between the source line SL and the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL' is different. In the first embodiment, multiple source lines SL and multiple first bit lines The bit line BL intersects with the multiple second bit lines BL'; in the fifth embodiment, the multiple source lines SL and the multiple first bit lines BL are parallel to each other, and the multiple source lines SL and the multiple second bit lines BL' parallel to each other.
本实施例五仅对与实施例一不相同的部分进行介绍,相同的部分可以参考上述实施例一,此处不再赘述。This fifth embodiment only introduces the parts that are different from the first embodiment, and the same parts can refer to the first embodiment above, and will not be repeated here.
如图11a和图11b所示,多条源线SL与多条第一位线BL相互平行,多条源线SL与多条第二位线BL'相互平行。As shown in FIG. 11 a and FIG. 11 b , multiple source lines SL and multiple first bit lines BL are parallel to each other, and multiple source lines SL and multiple second bit lines BL' are parallel to each other.
其中,图11a为实施例五提供的铁电存储器的立体结构示意图,图11b为图11a中沿CC向的剖面示意图。Wherein, FIG. 11a is a schematic perspective view of the three-dimensional structure of the ferroelectric memory provided in Embodiment 5, and FIG. 11b is a schematic cross-sectional view along CC direction in FIG. 11a.
在本实施例五中,将多条源线SL与多条第一位线BL相互平行设置,多条源线 SL与多条第二位线BL'相互平行设置,提高了铁电存储器10设计的灵活性,进而可以降低***电路的设计难度。In the fifth embodiment, a plurality of source lines SL and a plurality of first bit lines BL are arranged in parallel with each other, and a plurality of source lines SL and a plurality of second bit lines BL' are arranged in parallel with each other, which improves the design of the ferroelectric memory 10. The flexibility can reduce the design difficulty of peripheral circuits.
在与同一个存储单元100电连接的第一位线BL和第二位线BL'电连接的情况下,考虑到若读取晶体管STR的第一极101相对于第二极102远离预充晶体管PTR,则与读取晶体管STR的第一极101电连接的第一位线BL相对于与读取晶体管STR的第二极102电连接的源线SL远离预充晶体管PTR,即沿第一方向X,源线SL设置在第一位线BL和第二位线BL'之间,这样一来,第一位线BL和第二位线BL'通过位线接触通孔108电连接时,为了防止第一位线BL、第二位线BL'与源线SL短路,因此位线接触通孔108需避让源线SL,从而增加了铁电存储器10的设计难度。基于此,在一些示例中,读取晶体管STR的第一极101相对于读取晶体管STR的第二极102靠近预充晶体管PTR,且沿第一方向X,第一位线BL设置在源线SL和第二位线BL'之间。In the case that the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL' electrically connected to the same memory cell 100 are electrically connected, it is considered that if the first pole 101 of the read transistor STR is far away from the precharge transistor relative to the second pole 102 PTR, the first bit line BL electrically connected to the first pole 101 of the read transistor STR is far away from the precharge transistor PTR relative to the source line SL electrically connected to the second pole 102 of the read transistor STR, that is, in the first direction X, the source line SL is arranged between the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL', so that when the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL' are electrically connected through the bit line contact hole 108, in order To prevent the first bit line BL, the second bit line BL′ from being short-circuited with the source line SL, the bit line contact via hole 108 needs to avoid the source line SL, thereby increasing the design difficulty of the ferroelectric memory 10 . Based on this, in some examples, the first pole 101 of the read transistor STR is closer to the precharge transistor PTR than the second pole 102 of the read transistor STR, and along the first direction X, the first bit line BL is arranged on the source line SL and the second bit line BL' between.
由于沿第一方向X,第一位线BL设置在源线SL和第二位线BL'之间,这样在第一位线BL和第二位线BL'通过位线接触通孔108电连接时,设置位线接触通孔108时无需避让源线SL,从而降低了铁电存储器10的设计难度。Since the first bit line BL is arranged between the source line SL and the second bit line BL' along the first direction X, the first bit line BL and the second bit line BL' are electrically connected through the bit line contact via 108 When setting the bit line contact via hole 108, there is no need to avoid the source line SL, thereby reducing the design difficulty of the ferroelectric memory 10.
可以理解的是,在本实施例五中,预充晶体管PTR和读取晶体管STR除了可以是实施例一所示的结构外,预充晶体管PTR和读取晶体管STR还可以是实施例二、实施例三或实施例四所示的结构,具体可以参考上述实施例二、实施例三和实施例四,此处不再赘述。图11a和图11b以预充晶体管PTR和读取晶体管STR为实施例二所示的结构为例进行示意。It can be understood that, in the fifth embodiment, in addition to the structure shown in the first embodiment, the precharge transistor PTR and the read transistor STR can also be the second embodiment.
