図1は、本開示の第1の実施の形態に係るメモリ装置(メモリ装置1)の断面構成を模式的に表したものである。図2は、図1に示したメモリ装置1の要部の構成を拡大して表したものである。このメモリ装置1は、例えば、モバイル機器や自動車等の電子機器に搭載されるマイコンを構成するものであり、ロジック回路にメモリが混載されたものである。本実施の形態では、メモリ装置1は、ロジック回路100を構成する複数の配線層(金属膜M1~金属膜M10)の間(例えば、金属膜M3と金属膜M4との間)に、メモリ素子12が形成されたものである。
メモリ装置1は、上記のように、ロジック回路100にメモリ(メモリ素子12)が混載されたものであり、ロジック回路100は、複数の配線層が積層された多層配線構造を有する。ロジック回路100は、論理演算を行う回路が構成されたロジック部100Aと、メモリ素子12が形成されたメモリ部100Bとを有する。ロジック部100Aおよびメモリ部100Bは、同じ配線構造を有する。即ち、ロジック部100Aおよびメモリ部100Bは、同一層内において同じ配線パターンを有すると共に、積層方向においても互いに同じ配線間隔で形成された配線構造を有する。
選択素子11は、所謂クロスポイントアレイ構造を有するメモリセルアレイにおいて複数配設されたうちの任意のメモリ素子を選択的に動作させるためのものである。また、選択素子11は、メモリ素子12に直列に接続されており、印加電圧の増加とともに抵抗が大幅に低下し、印加電圧が低い場合に高抵抗状態を呈するものである。換言すると、選択素子11は、印加電圧が低い場合には電気抵抗が高く、印加電圧が高い場合には電気抵抗が大幅に低下し、大電流(例えば数桁倍の電流)が流れる非線形の電気抵抗特性を有するものである。更に、選択素子11とは、例えば電圧印加によるイオンの移動によって形成される伝導パスが印加電圧消去後にも維持される等のメモリ動作をしないものである。
メモリ素子12は、例えば、電気的信号によって抵抗値が可逆的に変化するものであり、その変化した状態を保持することが可能な不揮発性を有する抵抗変化型のメモリ素子である。メモリ素子12は、例えば、図2に示したように、イオン源層12Aと抵抗変化層12Bとが積層された構造を有する。
本実施の形態のメモリ装置1は、例えば、次のようにして製造することができる。なお、下記に示した製造方法は一例であり、他の方法を用いて形成しても構わない。
前述したように、マイコン等の半導体装置を構成するロジック回路に不揮発性メモリを混載することは、半導体装置の機能を向上させる手段として広く用いられている。ロジック回路に混載される不揮発性メモリとしては、一般にNOR型フラッシュメモリやスリップゲート型フラッシュメモリ等が用いられている。
図4は、本開示の第2の実施の形態に係るメモリ装置(メモリ装置2A)の断面構成を模式的に表したものである。本実施の形態では、メモリセル13を構成する選択素子11およびメモリ素子12を、ロジック回路100を構成する第1配線層10に積層形成された3つの配線層の間(例えば、金属膜M3と金属膜M4との間および金属膜M4と金属膜M5との間)に、それぞれ分けて設けた点が上記第1の実施の形態とは異なる。
図5は、本開示の第3の実施の形態に係るメモリ装置(メモリ装置3A)の断面構成を模式的に表したものである。本実施の形態では、メモリセル13を構成する選択素子11およびメモリ素子12を、ロジック回路100を構成する第1配線層10の、例えば、金属膜M4を省略し、金属膜M3と金属膜M5との間にメモリセル13を設けた点が上記第1,第2の実施の形態とは異なる。
図6は、本開示の第4の実施の形態に係るメモリ装置(メモリ装置4A)の断面構成を模式的に表したものである。本実施の形態では、メモリセル13を構成する選択素子11およびメモリ素子12を、ロジック回路100を構成する第1配線層10の、例えば、金属膜M4を省略し、ビアV3および金属膜M4の形成位置にメモリセル13を設け、ビアV4の形成位置に中間抵抗層14を形成した点が上記第1~第3の実施の形態とは異なる。
図7は、本開示の第5の実施の形態に係るメモリ装置(メモリ装置2B)の断面構成を模式的に表したものである。本実施の形態では、メモリセル13を構成する選択素子11およびメモリ素子12を、ロジック回路100を構成する第1配線層10および第2配線層20に跨って形成した点が上記第1~第4の実施の形態とは異なる。
(6-1.変形例1)
図8は、本開示の変形例1に係るメモリ装置(メモリ装置3B)の断面構成を模式的に表したものである。本変形例のメモリ装置3Bは、上記第3の実施の形態と上記第5の実施の形態との構成を組み合わせたものであり、メモリセル13を第1配線層10および第2配線層20に跨って形成すると共に、金属膜M6を省略して金属膜M5と金属膜M7との間に選択素子11とメモリ素子12とを積層したものである。
図9は、本開示の変形例2に係るメモリ装置(メモリ装置4B)の断面構成を模式的に表したものである。本変形例のメモリ装置4Bは、上記第4の実施の形態においてメモリセル13とビット線BLとの間に設けた中間抵抗層14を、選択素子11とメモリ素子12との間に設けたものである。
図11A~図11Dは、本開示の変形例3に係るメモリ装置(メモリ装置1)のメモリセル13が形成された配線層の製造方法の他の例を工程順に表したものである。
図12は、本開示の変形例4に係るメモリ装置(メモリ装置5A)の断面構成を模式的に表したものである。本変形例のメモリ装置5Aは、例えば、第1配線層10を構成する金属膜M3と金属膜M4との間および金属膜M4と金属膜M5との間にそれぞれメモリセル13A,13Bを設けたものである。
図13は、本開示の変形例5に係るメモリ装置(メモリ装置5B)の断面構成を模式的に表したものである。本変形例のメモリ装置5Bは、第1配線層10および第2配線層20に、それぞれメモリセル13A,13Bを設けたものである。
図14は、本開示の変形例6に係るメモリ装置(メモリ装置6)の断面構成を模式的に表したものである。本変形例のメモリ装置6は、例えばメモリ装置1において、メモリセル13とビット線BLとの間に設けられたバリアメタル膜45をメモリセル13上から意図的にずらして形成したものである。バリアメタル膜45は、例えば、メモリセル13の電極として機能するものであり、これをずらして形成することにより、メモリセル13とバリアメタル膜45との接触面積が小さくなり、バリアメタル膜45の抵抗値が大きくなる。このようにしてバリアメタル膜45の抵抗値を調整することによって、意図しないチャージ電流によるメモリセル13の劣化を低減することが可能となる。
図15は、本開示の変形例6に係るメモリ装置(メモリ装置7)の断面構成を模式的に表したものである。本変形例のメモリ装置7は、例えば、メモリ装置1においてワード線ELとビット線BLとの間に設けられたバリアメタル膜44、メモリセル13およびバリアメタル膜45を、ダマシン法を用いて形成したものである。
