Detailed Description

As described in the background, problems still exist with existing dynamic random access memories. As will be specifically described below.

In the conventional dynamic random access memory, a bit line and a conductive structure connected to the bit line are provided between the capacitor and the word line and the transistor. Therefore, in order to connect the capacitor to the word line and the transistor, the capacitor structure and the bit line and the conductive structure connected to the bit line need to be avoided from each other, which results in complicated circuit layout and difficult manufacturing process in the memory array region of the memory.

Furthermore, on the one hand, since the circuit wiring in the memory array region is complicated, the circuits other than the capacitor occupy a large area, which leads to a decrease in the storage density of the memory and a reduction in the storage capacity of the capacitor. On the other hand, since the structure of the capacitor is also affected by the structure of the logic circuit of the memory, for example, the height of a plug connecting different circuits in the logic circuit, the height of the capacitor is limited, the area of the capacitor is small, and the storage capacity of the capacitor is also small.

On the basis, the invention provides a dynamic random access memory and a forming method thereof, and the difficulty of circuit wiring and manufacturing process can be effectively reduced by respectively arranging the bit line layer and the capacitor structure on the first surface and the second surface of the substrate. And the capacitor structure is arranged on the second surface of the substrate, so that the capacitor structure has larger structural space, and the storage capacity of the capacitor structure is increased. In addition, the bit line layer and the capacitor structure are respectively arranged on the first surface and the second surface of the substrate, so that the area occupied by a single storage structure can be effectively reduced, and the storage density of a memory can be improved.

In this embodiment, the method for forming the first isolation layer 108 includes: forming a second isolation material layer (not shown) within the first isolation opening 107 and on the second side 102; the second isolation material layer is planarized until the second surface 102 is exposed, thereby forming the first isolation layer 108.

In this embodiment, the material of the second isolation material layer is silicon oxide.

Referring to fig. 15, a portion of the channel region 105 is etched from the second surface 102 toward the first surface 101, and a second isolation opening 117 is formed in the channel region 105.

In this embodiment, the second isolation opening 117 is used to provide a space for a subsequently formed second isolation layer, and the method for forming the second isolation opening 117 includes: forming a fourth patterned layer (not shown) on the second side 102, the fourth patterned layer exposing a portion of the surface of the channel region 105; etching from the second surface 102 to the first surface 101 using the fourth patterned layer as a mask, and forming the second isolation opening 117 in the channel region 105.

Referring to fig. 16, a second isolation layer 118 is formed in the second isolation opening 117.

In this embodiment, the second isolation layer 118 is used to isolate the adjacent transistors and prevent the transistors from being connected in series.

In this embodiment, the material of the second isolation layer 118 is silicon oxide.

In this embodiment, the second isolation layer 118 is formed after the first isolation layer 108; in other embodiments, the first isolation layer and the second isolation layer may be formed simultaneously, that is, the first isolation opening and the second isolation opening are formed first, then the first isolation opening and the second isolation opening are filled with an isolation material simultaneously, and finally the first isolation layer and the second isolation layer are formed simultaneously by a planarization process.

In this embodiment, since the material of the first gate layer is polysilicon and the material of the second gate layer is metal, in order to ensure that the second isolation layer 118 completely blocks the adjacent transistors, the height of the second isolation layer 118 from the second surface 102 toward the first surface 101 is greater than the height of the first gate layer from the second surface 102 toward the first surface 101.

In other embodiments, when the material of the second gate layer is polysilicon, a height of the second isolation layer from the second surface to the first surface is greater than a height of the second gate layer from the second surface to the first surface.

In other embodiments, when the word line gate layer has a single-layer structure, the height of the second isolation layer from the second surface to the first surface is greater than half of the height of the word line gate layer from the second surface to the first surface.

Referring to fig. 17, a plurality of capacitor structures 119 are formed on the second surface 102, and each capacitor structure 119 is electrically connected to one of the second source/drain doped regions 116.

In this embodiment, the bit line layer 114 and the capacitor structure 119 are respectively disposed on the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 of the substrate 100, so that the difficulty of circuit wiring and manufacturing processes can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, the capacitor structure 119 is disposed on the second surface 102 of the substrate 100, so that the capacitor structure 119 has a larger structural space, and the storage capacity of the capacitor structure 119 is increased. In addition, the bit line layer 114 and the capacitor structure 119 are respectively arranged on the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 of the substrate 100, so that the area occupied by a single memory structure can be effectively reduced, and the memory density of the memory can be improved.

In this embodiment, one capacitor structure 119 and one transistor are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix as a unit. The basic operation mechanism is divided into Read (Read) and Write (Write), in which the bit line layer 114 is first charged to half of the operation voltage and then the transistor is turned on to cause the bit line layer 114 and the capacitor structure 119 to share charges. If the internally stored value is 1, the voltage of the bit line layer 114 is raised by charge sharing to more than half of the operating voltage; on the other hand, if the internally stored value is 0, the voltage of the bit line layer 114 is pulled down to be lower than half of the operating voltage, and after the voltage of the bit line layer 114 is obtained, the internal values are determined to be 0 and 1 through an amplifier. The transistor is turned on when writing, and if 1 is to be written, the voltage of the bit line layer 114 is raised to an operating voltage to store the operating voltage on the capacitor structure 119; if a 0 is to be written, then lowering the bit line layer 114 to 0 volts leaves no charge inside the capacitive structure 119.

In this embodiment, before forming the plurality of capacitor structures 119, the method further includes: forming a second conductive plug 120 on each second source-drain doped region 116, wherein each capacitor structure 119 is electrically connected to one second conductive plug 120; in other embodiments, the second conductive plug may not be formed.

In this embodiment, the capacitor structure 119 includes: a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, and a dielectric layer (not labeled) between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer.
