3D stacked multilayer semiconductor memory using doped select transistor channel
(57) Abstract

In 3D stacked multilayer semiconductor memories including NAND and NOR flash memories, a lightly boron-doped layer is formed on top of a heavily boron-doped layer to form a select transistor, wherein the former serves as a channel of the select transistor and the latter serves as an isolation region which isolates the select transistor from a memory transistor.

Description

The present invention generally relates to 3D stacked multilayer semiconductor memories such as NAND and NOR memories.

As 3D stacked multilayer semiconductor memories, several candidates have been pursued, including NAND and NOR memories. One approach is to utilize different types of semiconductors as stacking films. This method is beneficial in that a channel can be formed with a crystal semiconductor that enables much faster operation than a poly-Si channel that is constructed by stacking a poly-Si layer and a SiO layer. One example using such a crystal semiconductor is described in IEDM 2009, p 637-640, by A. Hubert et al. wherein a Si - SiGe stacked structure is utilized. Another example is described in IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRON DEVICES, VOL. 58, NO. 4, APRIL 2011, p 1006-1014, by Jan-Gn Yun et al. These two examples focus on NAND flash memories. Other applications including logic circuits are described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,581,349 B1. In stacking of multiple semiconductors such as those in the above examples, one issue to be worked on when using a select transistor is how to perform doping in a channel region of a select transistor because a doping concentration of the select transistor channel has to be different from that of a channel of a memory transistor. Another issue to be worked on when using a select transistor is how to establish isolation of the select transistor from the memory transistor. In conventional NAND and NOR memories, isolation is not needed because every memory transistor is aligned serial to each other, but a select transistor requires isolation from a memory transistor.

  "description_excerpt": "The present invention generally relates to 3D stacked multilayer semiconductor memories such as NAND and NOR memories.\n\nAs 3D stacked multilayer semiconductor memories, several candidates have been pursued, including NAND and NOR memories. One approach is to utilize different types of semiconductors as stacking films. This method is beneficial in that a channel can be formed with a crystal semiconductor that enables much faster operation than a poly-Si channel that is constructed by stacking a poly-Si layer and a SiO layer. One example using such a crystal semiconductor is described in IEDM 2009, p 637-640, by A. Hubert et al. wherein a Si - SiGe stacked structure is utilized. Another example is described in IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRON DEVICES, VOL. 58, NO. 4, APRIL 2011, p 1006-1014, by Jan-Gn Yun et al. These two examples focus on NAND flash memories. Other applications including logic circuits are described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,581,349 B1. In stacking of multiple semiconductors such as those in the above examples, one issue to be worked on when using a select transistor is how to perform doping in a channel region of a select transistor because a doping concentration of the select transistor channel has to be different from that of a channel of a memory transistor. Another issue to be worked on when using a select transistor is how to establish isolation of the select transistor from the memory transistor. In conventional NAND and NOR memories, isolation is not needed because every memory transistor is aligned serial to each other, but a select transistor requires isolation from a memory transistor.",
