摘要: A memory device includes source-drain structure bodies and gate structure bodies arranged along a first direction, and global word lines. The source-drain structure body includes a bit line, and first to third semiconductor layers. The first and second semiconductor layers are of first conductivity type and the first semiconductor layer is connected to the bit line. The third semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type contacts the first and second semiconductor layers. The gate structure body includes a local word line and a charge storage film. A first source-drain structure body includes a bit line forming a first reference bit line. A first global word line connects to the local word lines in the gate structure bodies formed on both sides of the first reference bit line and to the local word lines formed in alternate gate structure bodies that are formed between the remaining plurality of source-drain structure bodies.

摘要: A process for building a 3-Dimensional NOR memory array avoids the challenge of etching a conductor material that is aimed at providing local word lines at a fine pitch. The process defines the local word lines between isolation shafts that may be carried out at a lower aspect ratio than would be required for etching the conductor material.

摘要: A conductor-filled via formed between an interconnection conductor layer and a buried contact above a planar surface of a semiconductor substrate, includes: (a) a first portion that extends from the interconnection conductor layer through a first isolation layer to a step in a staircase structure formed above the buried contacts, wherein (i) the step of the staircase structure is aligned to the buried contact along a first direction substantially normal to the planar surface of the semiconductor substrate, (ii) at the top of the step, the step comprises a bit line layer, a source line layer and a second isolation layer between the bit line layer and the source line layer, and (iii) the first portion electrically contacting the layer at the top of the step; and (b) a second portion extending from a portion of the step below the layer at the top of the step to the buried contact, wherein a spacer insulator lines sidewalls of the conductor-filled via.

摘要: A fabrication process for a memory structure including three-dimensional arrays of thin-film ferroelectric storage transistors is disclosed. In some embodiments, the ferroelectric storage transistors are organized in three-dimensional arrays of horizontal NOR memory strings. In some embodiments, the fabrication process uses a high aspect-ratio damascene process to form local word line structures that extends through the multiple layers of the three-dimensional memory structure. In particular, the high aspect-ratio local word line damascene process forms the gate stack layers, including the channel layer, the gate dielectric layer and the gate conductor layer, in the same sequence of additive deposition processes without any of the gate stack layers being subjected to any intervening etching process. In this manner, the integrity of the gate stack layers and their interfaces are well preserved and the transistor characteristics of the ferroelectric storage transistors are enhanced.
