DRAM存储器通常包括多个存储单元,每个存储单元中均包括晶体管,由于晶体管存在跨有源层泄漏现象,这会使得存储单元中存储的电荷逐渐流失,因此存储的数据需要频繁刷新才能保证存储数据的有效性。目前主流的DRAM中,为了降低刷新率,常规设计是电容需要做到足够大,这会使得DRAM的结构不紧凑、集成度较低。DRAM memory usually includes multiple memory cells, each of which includes a transistor. Since the transistor leaks across the active layer, the charge stored in the memory unit will gradually drain away. Therefore, the stored data needs to be refreshed frequently to ensure storage. Data validity. In current mainstream DRAM, in order to reduce the refresh rate, the conventional design requires the capacitor to be large enough, which will make the DRAM structure uncompact and low-integration.

The drain electrode 103, the semiconductor layer 104 and the source electrode 105 surround the capacitor electrode 116 and are located on the back gate. The side of the electrode 114 away from the capacitor electrode 116. The drain electrode 103, the semiconductor layer 104 and the source electrode 105 are annular in cross-section parallel to the substrate 101. The drain electrode 103 is electrically connected to the back gate electrode 114, and the back gate electrode 114 is connected to the source electrode. 105 constitutes the auxiliary capacitor C2;
环绕半导体层104的外侧壁的主栅极109,主栅极109与字线WL电连接且与源极105和漏极103绝缘。The main gate 109 surrounding the outer side wall of the semiconductor layer 104 is electrically connected to the word line WL and is insulated from the source electrode 105 and the drain electrode 103 .
如图1和图2所示,源极105、漏极103、半导体层104、主栅极109和背栅极114等构成一个晶体管T,电容电极116和背栅极114构成存储电容C1,也就是每个存储单元10包括一个晶体管T和一个存储电容C1,而在该存储单元10中,背栅极114和源极105构成一个辅助电容C2,从而增加存储单元10的电容量,使得存储节点N1能够维持更长的时间,从而在无需增加膜层以保证动态存储器的集成度的同时降低了动态存储器的刷新频率。As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the source 105, the drain 103, the semiconductor layer 104, the main gate 109 and the back gate 114 constitute a transistor T, and the capacitor electrode 116 and the back gate 114 constitute the storage capacitor C1, also That is, each memory cell 10 includes a transistor T and a storage capacitor C1, and in the memory cell 10, the back gate 114 and the source 105 form an auxiliary capacitor C2, thereby increasing the capacitance of the memory cell 10, so that the storage node N1 can last longer, thus reducing the refresh frequency of dynamic memory without adding film layers to ensure the integration of dynamic memory.
需要说明的是,由于背栅极114存在背栅效应,即背栅极114的电位会对晶体管T的阈值电压产生影响,因此在读取存储数据时用于开启晶体管T的电压的大小位于晶体管T存储“1”时的阈值电压与晶体管T存储“0”时的阈值电压之间。It should be noted that since the back gate 114 has a back gate effect, that is, the potential of the back gate 114 will affect the threshold voltage of the transistor T, therefore when reading stored data, the voltage used to turn on the transistor T is located at the level of the transistor. Between the threshold voltage when T stores "1" and the threshold voltage when transistor T stores "0".
如图2和图3所示,在数据写入时,当通过字线WL向主栅极109施加第一电平则晶体管T导通,并通过位线BL输入的数据信号写入到存储节点N1,数据写入完成则通过调整字线WL施加到主栅极109的电位使得晶体管T关闭,在晶体管T关闭后,即使存在漏电现象,但存储电容C1和辅助电容C2的存在能够对存储节点N1的电位进行保持。As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , during data writing, when a first level is applied to the main gate 109 through the word line WL, the transistor T is turned on, and the data signal input through the bit line BL is written to the storage node. N1, after the data writing is completed, the potential applied to the main gate 109 by the word line WL is adjusted to turn off the transistor T. After the transistor T is turned off, even if there is leakage, the existence of the storage capacitor C1 and the auxiliary capacitor C2 can affect the storage node. The potential of N1 is maintained.
如图2和图3所示,在数据读取时,对主栅极109施加第二电平,若该存储单元10处于“1”状态,则主栅极109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105偏置下晶体管T并未导通,因此位线BL并未获取电信号。As shown in Figures 2 and 3, when data is read, a second level is applied to the main gate 109. If the memory cell 10 is in the "1" state, the main gate 109 is at the second level (for example, the main 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, the same gate and source 105 bias When the transistor T is set down, it is not turned on, so the bit line BL does not obtain an electrical signal.
通过上述说明可知,本实施例提供的动态存储器,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N1的信号,存储单元10处于“0”状态则位线BL不能获取存储节点N1的信号,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。It can be seen from the above description that 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 signal of the storage node N1, and if the memory unit 10 is in the "0" state, the bit line BL can obtain the signal of the storage node N1. BL cannot obtain the signal of storage node N1, that is, the data signal read by bit line BL in the two states of "1" or "0" is very different, which enhances the anti-noise performance of the dynamic memory; and compared with the existing technology, which can only In terms of determining the “1” or “0” state of the memory cell 10 by detecting the output current of the transistor T, in this embodiment, since no signal is detected in the “0” state, the current signal can be used for detection. Voltage signals can be used for detection, which facilitates the design of peripheral detection circuits according to specific needs and has more Good adaptability.

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5以及图34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 5 and Figure 34. 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109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105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 109 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 105 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109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T处于导通状态,第一电平的大小与晶体管T的结构、晶体管T中半导体层的材料等因素相关,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 109 through the word line WL, so that the transistor T is in a conductive state, and the first voltage The size of the flat is related to factors such as the structure of the transistor T and the material of the semiconductor layer in the transistor T, and can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
如图1至图4所示,在数据写入时,当通过字线WL向主栅极109施加第一电平则晶体管T导通,并通过位线BL输入的数据信号写入到存储节点N1,数据写入完成则通过调整字线WL施加到主栅极109的电位使得晶体管T关闭,在晶体管T关闭后,即使存在漏电现象,但存储电容C1和辅助电容C2的存在能够对存储节点N1的电位进行保持。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 , during data writing, when a first level is applied to the main gate 109 through the word line WL, the transistor T is turned on, and the data signal input through the bit line BL is written to the storage node. N1, after the data writing is completed, the potential applied to the main gate 109 by the word line WL is adjusted to turn off the transistor T. After the transistor T is turned off, even if there is leakage, the existence of the storage capacitor C1 and the auxiliary capacitor C2 can affect the storage node. The potential of N1 is maintained.
由于背栅极114与源极105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114、漏极103以及存储电容C1的电容电极116)的电位能够维持更长的时间,从而降低刷新频率。Since the back gate 114 and the source 105 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 114 , the potential of the drain electrode 103 and the capacitor electrode 116 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109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 109 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3所示,在数据读取时,对主栅极109施加第二电平,若该存储单元10处于“1”状态,则主栅极109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 Figures 1 to 3, when data is read, a second level is applied to the main gate 109. If the memory cell 10 is in the "1" state, the main gate 109 is at the second level (for example, the main The gate potential VG=0.3V, at this time, the source potential VS=0) is turned on, and the signal of the storage node can be obtained; if the memory cell 10 is in the "0" state, then under the same gate and source bias The transistor T is not turned on, that is, the signal from the storage node cannot be detected.
需要说明的是,在动态存储器的读写过程中,均向参考电位线Vref提供参考电位。在一个具体的实施例中,参考电位为地电平。It should be noted that during the reading and writing process of the dynamic memory, the reference potential is provided to the reference potential line Vref. In a specific embodiment, the reference potential is ground level.
本实施例提供的读写方法,既能够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114和漏极103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109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 114 and the drain 103 had a higher potential. Under the joint action of the second level, the transistor T was in conductive state. On state, therefore 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 109, 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114以及漏极103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114以及漏极103的电位越高,阈值电压越小,即主栅极109和源极105之间的压差较小时,晶体管T也能被导通;背栅极114以及漏极103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 114 and the drain 103. For an N-type field effect transistor (carriers are electrons when the transistor is turned on), the back gate 114 and The higher the potential of the drain 103, the smaller the threshold voltage, that is, when the voltage difference between the main gate 109 and the source 105 is small, the transistor T can also be turned on; the higher the potential on the back gate 114 and the drain 103 The lower, the greater the threshold voltage.
如图3所示,图3中的横坐标为施加在主栅极109上的电压(即第二电平),纵坐标为晶体管T的输出电流。当施加在主栅极109上的第二电平为某一特定值(图3中虚线位置)时,背栅极114和漏极103上电压的高低(即晶体管T写入的数据是“1”还是“0”)会使晶体管T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T写入数据“1”时,晶体管T的输出电流较大,因此读取的数据也是“1”;当晶体管T写入的数据是“0”时,晶体管T的输出电流极为微弱,因此读取的数据也是“0”。As shown in FIG. 3 , the abscissa in FIG. 3 is the voltage applied to the main gate 109 (ie, the second level), and the ordinate is the output current of the transistor T. When the second level applied to the main gate 109 is a certain value (the dotted line position in Figure 3), the voltage on the back gate 114 and the drain 103 (that is, the data written by the transistor T is "1") ” or “0”) will make a significant difference in the size of the output current of transistor T (that is, the current measured through bit line BL). Data can be read from the memory cell 10 by detecting the current on the bit line BL. When the transistor T writes data "1", the output current of the transistor T is large, so the read data is also "1"; When the data written by transistor T is "0", the output current of transistor T is extremely weak, so the data read is also "0".
第二电平的数值可根据晶体管T的参数以及在进行写操作时施加给背栅极114和漏极103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T存储“1”时的阈值电压与晶体管T存储“0”时的阈值电压之间),否则可能存在晶体管T误导通或者误断开的风险,影响动态存储器的性能。具体地,可通过实验或者模拟的方法确定最合适的第二电平的值,以保证晶体管T在不同的状态下的正确导通或断开,以提高读取性能。The value of the second level can be determined according to the parameters of the transistor T and the magnitude of the voltage applied to the back gate 114 and the drain 103 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 T stores "1" and the threshold voltage when the transistor T stores "0"), otherwise the transistor T may be misdirected. Or there is the risk of mistaken disconnection, which affects the performance of dynamic memory. Specifically, the most appropriate value of the second level can be determined through experiments or simulations to ensure that the transistor T is correctly turned on or off in different states to improve reading performance.
通过上述说明可知,本实施例提供的存储单元,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。 It can be seen from the above description that in the memory unit 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, and if the memory unit 10 is in the "0" state, the bit line BL cannot. Obtaining the storage node signal, that is, the data signal read by the bit line BL in the two states of "1" or "0" has a huge difference, which enhances the anti-noise performance of the dynamic memory; and compared with the existing technology, which can only be detected by the detection transistor T In terms of determining the “1” or “0” state of the memory cell 10 by the size of the output current, 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. Detection is carried out to facilitate the design of peripheral detection circuits according to specific needs and have better adaptability.
