    摘要: Systems and methods for improving performance of a non-volatile memory by utilizing one or more tier select gate transistors between different portions of a NAND string are described. A first memory string tier may comprise a first set of memory cell transistors that may be programmed to store a first set of data and a second memory string tier may comprise a second set of memory cell transistors that are arranged above the first set of transistors and that may be programmed to store a second set of data. Between the first set of memory cell transistors and the second set of memory cell transistors may comprise a tier select gate transistor in series with the first set of memory cell transistors and the second set of memory cell transistors. The tier select gate transistor may comprise a programmable transistor or a non-programmable transistor.

    摘要: A bonded assembly of a first semiconductor die and a second semiconductor die includes first and second semiconductor dies. The first semiconductor die includes first semiconductor devices, first metal interconnect structures embedded in first dielectric material layers, and first metal bonding pads laterally surrounded by a semiconductor material layer. The second semiconductor die includes second semiconductor devices, second metal interconnect structures embedded in second dielectric material layers, and second metal bonding pads that include primary metal bonding pads and auxiliary metal bonding pads. The auxiliary metal bonding pads are bonded to the semiconductor material layer through metal-semiconductor compound portions formed by reaction of surface portions of the semiconductor material layer and an auxiliary metal bonding pad. The primary metal bonding pads are bonded to the first metal bonding pads by metal-to-metal bonding.

    摘要: A first semiconductor die includes first bonding pads. The first bonding pads include proximal bonding pads embedded within a first bonding dielectric layer and distal bonding pads having at least part of the sidewall that overlies the first bonding dielectric layer. A second semiconductor die includes second bonding pads. The second bonding pads are bonded to the proximal bonding pads and the distal bonding pads. The proximal bonding pads are bonded to a respective one of a first subset of the second bonding pads at a respective horizontal bonding interface and the distal bonding pads are bonded to a respective one of a second subset of the second bonding pads at a respective vertical bonding interface at the same time. Dielectric isolation structures may vertically extend through the second bonding dielectric layer of the second semiconductor die and contact the first bonding dielectric layer.

    摘要: A non-volatile storage device with memory cells having a high-k charge storage region, as well as methods of fabrication, is disclosed. The charge storage region has three or more layers of dielectric materials. At least one layer is a high-k material. The high-k layer(s) has a higher trap density as compared to S13N4. High-k dielectrics in the charge storage region enhance capacitive coupling with the memory cell channel, which can improve memory cell current, program speed, and erase speed. The charge storage region has a high-low-high conduction band offset, which may improve data retention. The charge storage region has a low-high-low valence band offset, which may improve erase.
