SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18052689 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a semiconductor memory device that consists of a cell array structure and a peripheral circuit structure. The cell array structure includes bonding pads connected to memory cells, while the peripheral circuit structure includes bonding pads connected to peripheral circuits.

  • The cell array structure is composed of stacked horizontal conductive patterns and vertical conductive patterns that intersect the stack vertically.
  • A power capacitor is integrated into a planarization insulating layer that covers part of the stack.
  • The second bonding pads in the peripheral circuit structure are bonded to the first bonding pads in the cell array structure.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Memory devices in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers.
  • Data storage in cloud computing centers and data centers.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient integration of memory cells and peripheral circuits in a semiconductor memory device.
  • Improved power management and stability in memory operations.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced performance and reliability of semiconductor memory devices.
  • Increased memory capacity and data transfer speed.
  • Reduced power consumption and improved energy efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor memory device may include a cell array structure including first bonding pads, which are electrically connected to memory cells, and a peripheral circuit structure including second bonding pads, which are electrically connected to peripheral circuits and are bonded to the first bonding pads. The cell array structure may include a stack including horizontal conductive patterns stacked in a vertical direction, a vertical structure including vertical conductive patterns , which are provided to cross the stack in the vertical direction, and a power capacitor provided in a planarization insulating layer covering a portion of the stack.
