Description
先ず、図1を参照して、本発明の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置の全体構成について説明する。図1は、本発明の実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置(不揮発性メモリ)のブロック図である。
次に、実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置の回路構成について説明する。図2は、メモリセルアレイ1及びその周辺回路の回路図である。
次に、図3を参照して、メモリセルアレイ1の積層構造について説明する。図3は、メモリセルアレイ1の積層構造を示す概略斜視図である。
次に、図5及び図6を参照して、抵抗変化層27の構成について説明する。図5及び図6は、この抵抗変化層27の構成を示す図である。抵抗変化層27は、遷移元素となる陽イオンを含む複合化合物であって陽イオンの移動により抵抗値が変化するもの(ReRAM)を用いることができる。
次に、図7A〜図7G、及び図8を参照して、実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置の製造方法について説明する。図7A〜図7Gは、実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置の製造工程を示す断面図である。図8は、製造工程を示す拡大断面図である。
次に、実施形態に係る不揮発性半導体記憶装置の効果について説明する。先ず、図9を参照して、可変抵抗素子VR、及びダイオードDIの電流―電圧特性に係る問題点を説明する。図9は、可変抵抗素子VR、及びダイオードDIの電流―電圧特性の一例を示す図である。図9において、横軸は電圧を示し、縦軸は電流を示す。縦軸は、対数表示のため、電流=0の点を定義できないが、ここでは説明のため、便宜上、縦軸の下端を電流=0の点としている。
低抵抗状態である抵抗変化素子VRの電流―電圧特性である。電流―電圧特性42は、高抵抗状態である抵抗変化素子VRの電流―電圧特性である。電流―電圧特性43は、ダイオードファクターが大きい場合のダイオードDIの電流―電圧特性である。電流―電圧特性44は、ダイオードファクターが小さい場合のダイオードDIの電流―電圧特性である。なお、ダイオードファクターとは、ダイオードDIが流れる順方向電流の立ち上がりの急峻度を表す指標であり、これが小さい程、ダイオードDIの電流―電圧特性が急峻であることを示す。
