SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18344077 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a semiconductor device that includes a substrate with a cell array region and a peripheral circuit region. The substrate has two active regions, one in the cell array region and the other in the peripheral circuit region. It also has multiple word lines that extend in one direction and a bit line that extends perpendicular to the word lines. The substrate further includes first pad separation patterns on the word lines, a cell pad structure between two adjacent first pad separation patterns, and a second pad separation pattern adjacent to the cell pad structure.
- The semiconductor device includes a substrate with a cell array region and a peripheral circuit region.
- The substrate has two active regions, one in the cell array region and the other in the peripheral circuit region.
- Multiple word lines are present in the substrate, extending in one direction.
- A bit line is present in the cell array region, extending perpendicular to the word lines.
- First pad separation patterns are located on the word lines, extending in the same direction as the word lines.
- A cell pad structure is present on the substrate, located between two adjacent first pad separation patterns.
- A second pad separation pattern is located between two adjacent first pad separation patterns and is adjacent to the cell pad structure.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Semiconductor devices with improved performance and functionality.
