需要说明的是,虽然图2中示出了辅助电容C2,但实际上,辅助电容C2是由晶体管T中的背栅极113与晶体管中的源极107构成的,因此并未增加存储单元10的复杂度。It should be noted that although the auxiliary capacitor C2 is shown in FIG. 2 , in fact, the auxiliary capacitor C2 is composed of the back gate 113 of the transistor T and the source 107 of the transistor. Therefore, the memory unit 10 is not added. complexity.

The capacitance of 10 enables the storage node N1 to be maintained for a longer period of time, thereby reducing the refresh frequency of the dynamic memory without adding film layers to ensure the integration of the dynamic memory.
本实施例提供的动态存储器中,在读取过程中,存储单元10处于“1”状态则位线BL能够获取存储节点信号,存储单元10处于“0”状态则位线BL不能获取存储节点信号,也就是“1”或“0”两种状态下位线BL读取的数据信号差异巨大,使得动态存储器的抗噪声性能增强;而且相对于现有技术中只能通过检测晶体管T输出电流 的大小来实现存储单元10的“1”或“0”状态的判断而言,本实施例由于“0”状态下检测不到信号,则既可以利用电流信号进行检测也可以利用电压信号进行检测,从而便于根据具体需求设计***检测电路,具有更好地适应性。In the dynamic memory provided by this embodiment, during the reading process, if the memory unit 10 is in the "1" state, the bit line BL can obtain the storage node signal; if the memory unit 10 is in the "0" state, the bit line BL cannot obtain the storage node signal. , that is, the data signal read by the bit line BL in the two states of "1" or "0" is greatly different, which enhances the anti-noise performance of the dynamic memory; and compared with the existing technology, the current can only be output through the detection transistor T In order to realize the judgment of the "1" or "0" state of the memory cell 10, in this embodiment, since no signal is detected in the "0" state, either the current signal or the voltage signal can be used for detection. , which facilitates the design of peripheral detection circuits according to specific needs and has better adaptability.
可选地,如图4所示,本实施例提供的动态存储器中,半导体层109的材料包括金属氧化物。由于金属氧化物半导体的固有特性(电子迁移率较低等因素),因此半导体层109的材料采用金属氧化物时,可以使晶体管T的漏电流较小,减小存储电容上电荷流失的速度,因此可以延长动态存储器的数据保存时间,有利于降低动态存储器的刷新频率和功耗。Optionally, as shown in FIG. 4 , in the dynamic memory provided by this embodiment, the material of the semiconductor layer 109 includes metal oxide. Due to the inherent characteristics of metal oxide semiconductors (low electron mobility and other factors), when the material of the semiconductor layer 109 is metal oxide, the leakage current of the transistor T can be smaller and the speed of charge loss on the storage capacitor can be reduced. Therefore, the data storage time of the dynamic memory can be extended, which is beneficial to reducing the refresh frequency and power consumption of the dynamic memory.
具体地,金属氧化物的材料可以为铟镓锌氧化物(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,简称IGZO)。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工作性能。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等材料,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。Specifically, the material of the metal oxide may be Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO for short). When the metal oxide material is IGZO, the leakage current of the transistor is small (the leakage current is less than or equal to 10 -15 A), thus ensuring the working performance of the dynamic memory. It should be noted that the material of the metal oxide can also be ITO, IWO, ZnOx, InOx, In2O3, InWO, SnO2, TiOx, InSnOx, ZnxOyNz, MgxZnyOz, InxZnyOz, InxGayZnzOa, ZrxInyZnzOa, HfxInyZnzOa, SnxInyZnzOa, AlxSnyInzZnaOd, SixInyZnzOa, ZnxSnyOz , AlxZnySnzOa, GaxZnySnzOa, ZrxZnySnzOa, InGaSiO and other materials, just ensure that the leakage current of the transistor can meet the requirements, and the details can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

Therefore, by designing the thickness of the first insulating layer 103 and the size of the first receiving hole 1031 on a plane parallel to the substrate 100, the capacitance of the storage capacitor C1 can be adjusted. Adjustment.
具体地,如图12和图13所示(图12为图13中C-C向剖视图),将存储电容C1制作在第一容纳孔1031内,不仅能够使存储电容C1的第一电极104与位于第一绝缘层103下的参考电位端Vref搭接,而且利用第一容纳孔1031使得第一电极104与第二电极106相对的面积更大,从而在有限的空间内尽可能提升每个存储单元10的电荷存储能力,从而进一步降低动态存储器的刷新频率。Specifically, as shown in Figures 12 and 13 (Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view along the line C-C in Figure 13), manufacturing the storage capacitor C1 in the first receiving hole 1031 not only enables the first electrode 104 of the storage capacitor C1 to be connected to the first The reference potential terminal Vref under an insulating layer 103 is overlapped, and the first receiving hole 1031 is used to make the opposing area of the first electrode 104 and the second electrode 106 larger, thereby improving each memory cell 10 as much as possible in a limited space. The charge storage capacity further reduces the refresh frequency of dynamic memory.
具体地,如图14所示,在制作完存储电容C1之后,还需要沉积绝缘材料,该绝缘材料覆盖第二电极106且该绝缘材料也作为第一绝缘层103的一部分;之后再使得第二电极106暴露即可。需要说明的是,为了使得后续结构具有更高精度,需要保证第二电极106具有较高的平整度,因此可以采用化学机械抛光的方式使得第二电极106暴露,从而提高第二电极106的平整度。Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 , after the storage capacitor C1 is fabricated, an insulating material needs to be deposited. The insulating material covers the second electrode 106 and is also used as a part of the first insulating layer 103 ; and then the second insulating material is deposited. The electrode 106 is exposed. It should be noted that in order to achieve higher precision in subsequent structures, it is necessary to ensure that the second electrode 106 has a high flatness. Therefore, chemical mechanical polishing can be used to expose the second electrode 106, thereby improving the flatness of the second electrode 106. Spend.

具体地,如图16和图17所示(图16为图17中D-D向剖视图),牺牲层200在后续制程中会被刻蚀掉,牺牲层200的厚度决定着源极107与漏极106之间的距离,因此,需要根据具体的需求设计牺牲层200的厚度。Specifically, as shown in Figures 16 and 17 (Figure 16 is a D-D cross-sectional view in Figure 17), the sacrificial layer 200 will be etched away in subsequent processes, and the thickness of the sacrificial layer 200 determines the source electrode 107 and the drain electrode 106 Therefore, the thickness of the sacrificial layer 200 needs to be designed according to specific requirements.

For example, if a cylindrical main grid 111 needs to be formed, the second receiving hole 400 will be a circular receiving hole. If a prism needs to be formed, the shape of the second receiving hole 400 will be designed. The second receiving hole 400 formed by the main gate 111 is a corresponding polygonal receiving hole.

For example, if the main gate 111 is a cylinder. If the main gate 111 is a square prism, the source 107 will be a four-sided ring.
S204:去除剩余牺牲层200,并依次形成第三栅极绝缘层112和背栅极113,第三栅极绝缘层112位于半导体层109与背栅极113之间、背栅极113与源极107之间以及背栅极113与漏极106之间,背栅极113位于漏极106远离衬底100的一侧且位于漏极106与源极107之间,背栅极113包围主栅极111的侧壁,背栅极113在衬底100上的正投影与漏极106在衬底100上的正投影交叠,背栅极113在衬底100上的正投影与主栅极111在衬底100上的正投影无交叠,背栅极113与漏极106电连接。S204: Remove the remaining sacrificial layer 200, and sequentially form the third gate insulating layer 112 and the back gate 113. The third gate insulating layer 112 is located between the semiconductor layer 109 and the back gate 113, and between the back gate 113 and the source. 107 and between the back gate 113 and the drain 106. The back gate 113 is located on the side of the drain 106 away from the substrate 100 and between the drain 106 and the source 107. The back gate 113 surrounds the main gate. 111, the orthographic projection of the back gate 113 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the drain 106 on the substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the back gate 113 on the substrate 100 overlaps with the main gate 111 on the substrate 100. The front projection on the substrate 100 has no overlap, and the back gate 113 and the drain 106 are electrically connected.
进一步地,如图22至图29所示,在本实施例提供的存储单元的制作方法中,步骤S204包括:Further, as shown in Figures 22 to 29, in the method of manufacturing a memory unit provided in this embodiment, step S204 includes:
S2041:在制作完半导体层109、第一栅极绝缘层108和主栅极111的衬底100上形成第二光刻胶层500,并对第二光刻胶层500进行曝光、显影以去除位于待刻蚀区域的第二光刻胶层500,再以未去除的第二光刻胶层500作为掩膜进行局部刻蚀,以去除部分第一栅极绝缘层108和部分牺牲层200,以使部分漏极106暴露。S2041: Form the second photoresist layer 500 on the substrate 100 after the semiconductor layer 109, the first gate insulating layer 108 and the main gate 111 are formed, and expose and develop the second photoresist layer 500 to remove it. The second photoresist layer 500 located in the area to be etched is then partially etched using the unremoved second photoresist layer 500 as a mask to remove part of the first gate insulating layer 108 and part of the sacrificial layer 200. So that part of the drain electrode 106 is exposed.
具体地,如图23和图24所示(图23为图24中G-G向剖视图),漏极106的边缘部分位于待刻蚀区域内,源极107与待刻蚀区域无交集,经过步骤S2041之后需要将漏极106的边缘部分暴露,以便于后续背栅极113与漏极106的电连接。Specifically, as shown in Figures 23 and 24 (Figure 23 is a G-G cross-sectional view in Figure 24), the edge part of the drain electrode 106 is located in the area to be etched, and the source electrode 107 has no intersection with the area to be etched. After step S2041 Afterwards, the edge portion of the drain electrode 106 needs to be exposed to facilitate the subsequent electrical connection between the back gate 113 and the drain electrode 106 .
S2042:去除剩余牺牲层200,并依次形成第三栅极绝缘层112和背栅极113。S2042: Remove the remaining sacrificial layer 200, and form the third gate insulating layer 112 and the back gate 113 in sequence.
具体地,如图25和图26所示(图25为图26中H-H向剖视图),剩余的牺牲层200去除之后先形成第三栅极绝缘层112,再形成背栅极113。第三栅极绝缘层112附着在漏极106的部分上表面、半导体层109的部分侧壁、源极107的下表面以及第一栅极绝缘层108的下表面和侧壁;背栅极113的上表面、下表面以及靠近半导体层109的侧面均与第三栅极绝缘层112接触。其中,背栅极113与源极107形成辅助电容C2,位于背栅极113和源极107之间的第三栅极绝缘层112作为辅助电容C2的介电层,通过调节第三栅极绝缘层112的材料以及第三栅极绝缘层112的厚度,能够调节辅助电容C2的电容量。或者调节背栅极113与源极107的交叠面积也能够调节辅助电容C2的电容量。Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26 (FIG. 25 is a cross-sectional view along the line H-H in FIG. 26), after the remaining sacrificial layer 200 is removed, the third gate insulating layer 112 is first formed, and then the back gate 113 is formed. The third gate insulating layer 112 is attached to part of the upper surface of the drain electrode 106, part of the sidewalls of the semiconductor layer 109, the lower surface of the source electrode 107, and the lower surface and sidewalls of the first gate insulating layer 108; the back gate 113 The upper surface, lower surface and the side surface close to the semiconductor layer 109 are all in contact with the third gate insulating layer 112 . Among them, the back gate 113 and the source 107 form an auxiliary capacitor C2, and the third gate insulation layer 112 located between the back gate 113 and the source 107 serves as a dielectric layer of the auxiliary capacitor C2. By adjusting the third gate insulation The material of the layer 112 and the thickness of the third gate insulating layer 112 can adjust the capacitance of the auxiliary capacitor C2. Alternatively, adjusting the overlapping area of the back gate 113 and the source 107 can also adjust the capacitance of the auxiliary capacitor C2.
S2043:通过构图工艺形成连接部114,连接部114环绕背栅极113且分别与背栅极113和漏极106搭接。S2043: The connection portion 114 is formed through a patterning process. The connection portion 114 surrounds the back gate 113 and overlaps the back gate 113 and the drain electrode 106 respectively.
具体地,如图27和图28所示(图27为图28中I-I向剖视图),连接部114环绕背栅极113使得连接部114与背栅极113、连接部114与漏极106均具有较大的搭接面积,从而降低搭接电阻。Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 27 and 28 (FIG. 27 is a cross-sectional view along the line I-I in FIG. 28), the connecting portion 114 surrounds the back gate 113 so that the connecting portion 114 and the back gate 113, and the connecting portion 114 and the drain 106 all have Larger overlap area, thereby reducing overlap resistance.
进一步地,如图29所示,本实施例提供的存储单元的制作方法中,步骤S2还包括:在制作完连接部114的衬底100上形成第二绝缘层115,第二绝缘层115覆盖晶体管T。 Further, as shown in FIG. 29 , in the method of manufacturing a memory unit provided by this embodiment, step S2 also includes: forming a second insulating layer 115 on the substrate 100 after the connection portion 114 is formed, and covering the second insulating layer 115 Transistor T.
具体地,第二绝缘层115的上表面进行平坦化处理以便于后续字线WL和位线BL的制作。Specifically, the upper surface of the second insulating layer 115 is planarized to facilitate the subsequent production of the word line WL and the bit line BL.
基于同一发明构思,本申请实施例提供了一种读写方法,用于对上述实施例中的存储单元进行读写,如图1至图4以及图30所示,该读写方法包括:Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present application provide a reading and writing method for reading and writing the storage unit in the above embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 30. The reading and writing method includes:
T1:在写入状态时,通过字线WL向待写入的存储单元10的主栅极111施加第一电平以使晶体管T导通,并通过位线BL向待写入的存储单元10的源极107传输存储信号,以将存储信号写入待写入的存储单元10作为存储数据。T1: In the writing state, the first level is applied to the main gate 111 of the memory cell 10 to be written through the word line WL to turn on the transistor T, and the first level is applied to the memory cell 10 to be written through the bit line BL. The source 107 transmits the storage signal to write the storage signal into the storage unit 10 to be written as storage data.
在动态存储器处于写入工作模式时,通过字线WL向主栅极111施加第一电平(例如5V,具体数值可根据实际情况进行调整),以使晶体管处于导通状态,第一电平的大小与晶体管的结构、晶体管中半导体层109的材料等因素相关,具体可根据实际情况进行调整。When the dynamic memory is in the write operation mode, a first level (for example, 5V, the specific value can be adjusted according to the actual situation) is applied to the main gate 111 through the word line WL, so that the transistor is in a conducting state, and the first level The size is related to the structure of the transistor, the material of the semiconductor layer 109 in the transistor and other factors, and can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
如图1至图4所示,当晶体管导通时,通过位线BL向源极107施加电压,源极107和漏极106通过半导体层109导通,向存储电容C1写入数据信号。并且当晶体管T导通时,漏极106和背栅极113电连接,因此源极107、漏极106上电压的大小和背栅极113上电压的大小相同。也就是背栅极113上的电压的大小决定了存储电容C1中的电荷量的大小,进而决定了存储单元10中所存储的数据信号的二进制是0还是1。当通过位线BL向源极107施加高电压(例如5V时)时,数据“1”被写入存储单元10,当通过位线BL向源极107施加低电压(例如0V)时,数据“0”被写入存储单元10。As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 , when the transistor is turned on, a voltage is applied to the source electrode 107 through the bit line BL, the source electrode 107 and the drain electrode 106 are connected through the semiconductor layer 109 , and a data signal is written to the storage capacitor C1 . And when the transistor T is turned on, the drain 106 and the back gate 113 are electrically connected, so the voltages on the source 107 and the drain 106 are the same as the voltage on the back gate 113 . That is to say, the voltage on the back gate 113 determines the amount of charge in the storage capacitor C1, and further determines whether the binary value of the data signal stored in the memory unit 10 is 0 or 1. When a high voltage (for example, 5V) is applied to the source electrode 107 through the bit line BL, data "1" is written into the memory cell 10. When a low voltage (for example, 0V) is applied to the source electrode 107 through the bit line BL, the data "1" 0” is written to memory cell 10.
由于背栅极113与源极107构成辅助电容C2,因此,即使在完成数据写入之后晶体管T转变为关断状态,辅助电容C2中存储的电荷也能够使得存储节点N1(即背栅极113、漏极116以及存储电容C1的第二电极)的电位能够维持更长的时间,从而降低刷新频率。Since the back gate 113 and the source 107 form the auxiliary capacitor C2, even if the transistor T transitions to the off state after completing the data writing, the charge stored in the auxiliary capacitor C2 can make the storage node N1 (ie, the back gate 113 , the drain electrode 116 and the second electrode of the storage capacitor C1) can be maintained for a longer period of time, thereby reducing the refresh frequency.
T2:在读取状态时,通过字线WL向待读取的存储单元10的主栅极111施加第二电平,以使位线BL感测待读取的存储单元10的存储数据。T2: In the read state, the second level is applied to the main gate 111 of the memory cell 10 to be read through the word line WL, so that the bit line BL senses the storage data of the memory cell 10 to be read.
如图1至图4所示,在数据读取时,对主栅极111施加第二电平,若该存储单元10处于“1”状态,则主栅极111在第二电平(例如主栅极电位VG=0.3V,此时源极电位VS=0)下打开,能够获取存储节点N1的信号;若该存储单元10处于“0”状态,则在相同的栅极和源极偏置下晶体管T未导通,即无法检测到存储节点的信号。As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 , when data is read, a second level is applied to the main gate 111 . If the memory cell 10 is in the “1” state, the main gate 111 is at the second level (for example, the main gate 111 ). The gate potential VG=0.3V, at this time the source potential VS=0) is turned on, and the signal of the storage node N1 can be obtained; if the memory cell 10 is in the "0" state, then the same gate and source bias The lower transistor T is not turned on, that is, the signal from the storage node cannot be detected.
具体的,当存储单元10之前存储的是数据“1”时,背栅极113和漏极106上具有一较高的电位,在第二电平的共同作用下,晶体管T处于导通的状态,因此可通过位线BL测得较为明显的电信号。当测得较为明显的电信号时,判断读取的数据为“1”。当存储单元10之前存储的是数据“0”时,背栅极113和漏极106上的电位较低,主栅极111上施加第二电平后,晶体管仍处于关断的状态,因此位线BL并未检测到电信号,此时判断读取的数据为“0”。Specifically, when the memory cell 10 previously stored data "1", the back gate 113 and the drain 106 had a higher potential, and under the combined effect of the second level, the transistor T was in a conductive state. , so a more obvious electrical signal can be measured through the bit line BL. When a relatively obvious electrical signal is measured, the read data is judged to be "1". When the memory cell 10 previously stored data "0", the potentials on the back gate 113 and the drain 106 were low. After the second level was applied to the main gate 111, the transistor was still in an off state, so the bit No electrical signal is detected on line BL, and the read data is judged to be "0" at this time.
需要说明的是,在存储单元的读写过程中,均向参考电位端Vref提供参考电位。在一个具体的实施例中,参考电位为地电位。It should be noted that during the reading and writing process of the memory cell, the reference potential is provided to the reference potential terminal Vref. In a specific embodiment, the reference potential is ground potential.
本实施例提供的读写方法,既可以采用电流检测方式也可以采用电压检测方式。以电流检测为例,当存储单元10之前存储的是数据“1”时,背栅极113和漏极106 上具有一较高的电位,在第二电平的共同作用下,晶体管T处于导通的状态,因此可通过位线BL测得较为明显的电流。当测得较为明显的电流时,判断读取的数据为“1”。当存储单元10之前存储的是数据“0”时,主栅极111上施加第二电平后,晶体管T仍处于关断的状态,因此可以认为位线BL并未检测到电流,此时判断读取的数据为“0”。The reading and writing method provided in this embodiment can adopt either the current detection method or the voltage detection method. Taking current detection as an example, when the memory cell 10 previously stored data “1”, the back gate 113 and the drain 106 has a higher potential, and under the combined effect of the second level, the transistor T is in a conductive state, so a relatively obvious current can be measured through the bit line BL. When a relatively obvious current is measured, the read data is judged to be "1". When the memory cell 10 previously stored data "0", after the second level is applied to the main gate 111, the transistor T is still in the off state, so it can be considered that the bit line BL has not detected current. At this time, it is judged The data read is "0".
需要说明的是,晶体管T的阈值电压的大小和背栅极113以及漏极106上电位的大小相关,对于N型场效应晶体管(晶体管导通时载流子为电子),背栅极113以及漏极106上的电位越高,阈值电压越小,即主栅极111和源极107之间的压差较小时,晶体管T也能被导通;背栅极113以及漏极106上的电位越低,阈值电压越大。It should be noted that the threshold voltage of the transistor T is related to the potential on the back gate 113 and the drain 106. For an N-type field effect transistor (carriers are electrons when the transistor is turned on), the back gate 113 and The higher the potential on the drain 106, the smaller the threshold voltage, that is, when the voltage difference between the main gate 111 and the source 107 is small, the transistor T can also be turned on; the potential on the back gate 113 and the drain 106 The lower it is, the greater the threshold voltage is.
如图31所示,图31中的横坐标为施加在主栅极111上的电压(即第二电平),纵坐标为晶体管的输出电流。当施加在主栅极111上的第二电平为某一特定值(图31中虚线位置)时,背栅极113和漏极106上电压的高低(即晶体管写入的数据是“1”还是“0”)会使晶体管的输出电流(即通过位线BL所测的电流)的大小具有显著的差别。通过检测位线BL上电流即可实现将数据从存储单元10中读出,当晶体管写入数据“1”时,晶体管的输出电流较大,因此读取的数据也是“1”;当晶体管写入数据“0”时,晶体管的输出电流极为微弱,因此读取的数据也是“0”。As shown in FIG. 31 , the abscissa in FIG. 31 is the voltage applied to the main gate 111 (ie, the second level), and the ordinate is the output current of the transistor. When the second level applied to the main gate 111 is a certain value (the dotted line position in Figure 31), the voltage on the back gate 113 and the drain 106 (that is, the data written by the transistor is "1" or "0") will make a significant difference in the size of the output current of the transistor (that is, the current measured through the bit line BL). Data can be read from the memory cell 10 by detecting the current on the bit line BL. When the transistor writes the data "1", the output current of the transistor is large, so the read data is also "1"; when the transistor writes the data "1" When data "0" is entered, the output current of the transistor is extremely weak, so the data read is also "0".
第二电平的数值可根据晶体管的参数以及在进行写操作时施加给背栅极113和漏极106上电压的大小确定。需要说明的是,第二电平的数值需要是合适的(需要位于晶体管存储“1”时的阈值电压与晶体管存储“0”时的阈值电压之间),若第二电平的数值不合适,存储数据“1”(即漏极106和背栅极113上的电位较高)时晶体管的输出电流与存储数据“0”(即漏极106和背栅极113上的电位较低)时晶体管的输出电流的大小会非常接近,因此在进行读取操作时会难以判断所读取的数据是“0”还是“1”,这对于动态存储器的性能造成了影响。可通过实验或者模拟的方法确定最合适的第二电平的值,以使晶体管在不同的状态下进行读操作时输出电流的差异最大,以提高读取性能。The value of the second level can be determined according to the parameters of the transistor and the magnitude of the voltage applied to the back gate 113 and the drain 106 during the writing operation. It should be noted that the value of the second level needs to be appropriate (it needs to be between the threshold voltage when the transistor stores "1" and the threshold voltage when the transistor stores "0"). If the value of the second level is inappropriate, , the output current of the transistor when storing data "1" (that is, the potential on the drain 106 and the back gate 113 is high) is the same as when storing data "0" (that is, the potential on the drain 106 and the back gate 113 is low) The output currents of the transistors will be very close in size, so it will be difficult to determine whether the read data is "0" or "1" during a read operation, which affects the performance of dynamic memory. The most appropriate value of the second level can be determined through experiments or simulations to maximize the difference in output current when the transistor performs read operations in different states, thereby improving read performance.
