DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring to FIGS. 1A to 1B, FIG. 1A illustrates a schematic diagram of a side view of a memory device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1B illustrates a schematic diagram of a top view of a peripheral substrate 110 and an array substrate 120 in FIG. 1A. The memory device 100 is, for example, a flash memory, such as a NAND memory.


As shown in FIG. 1B, the memory device 100 includes the peripheral substrate 110 and the array substrate 120. The peripheral substrate 110 includes at least one page buffer 111 and a first high voltage processing circuit 112 and has a peripheral substrate area A110. The array substrate 120 includes an array 121. The array substrate 120 and the peripheral substrate 110 are stacked on each other, and a first circuit distribution area A112 of the first high voltage processing circuit 112 accounts for less than 10% of the peripheral substrate area A110, such as 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% or a real number between the aforementioned two proportional values. In comparison with the page buffer 111, the first high voltage processing circuit 112 and the array 121 formed on the same substrate, since the array 121 is formed on the array substrate 120 in the present embodiment, the peripheral substrate 110 could spare a more space for the page buffer 111 with a larger area. The page buffer 111 with a larger area could provide more storage space for data reading, and meet the requirement of higher operating speed. In addition, the peripheral substrate 110 and the array substrate 120 could be manufactured separately, and it could simplify the overall manufacturing process and/or circuit design complexity of the memory device 100.


The so-called “array” herein includes, for example, “memory structure”. The so-called “area” herein is, for example, “top view area”.


A base of the peripheral substrate 110 and a base of the array substrate 120 are, for example, silicon wafers. The circuits on the peripheral substrate 110 and the array substrate 120 are, for example, formed by semiconductor manufacturing process.


As shown in FIG. 1A, the peripheral substrate 110 further includes at least one low voltage input contact 113 and at least one high voltage input contact 114. The low voltage input contact 113 is configured to receive one set or more of low voltage LV between 1.8 volts (V) to 5 V, and the high voltage input contact 114 is configured to receive a high voltage HV equal to or higher than 5 V. Due to the memory device 100 directly receiving the high voltage HV to reduce a boosting load of the first high voltage processing circuit 112 (for example, simplifying circuit design, reducing occupied space, etc.), a ratio of the first circuit distribution area A112 of the first high voltage processing circuit 112 to the peripheral substrate area A110 could be relatively reduced (In comparison with the fact that the peripheral substrate 110 does not receive the high voltage HV).


The “contact” herein refers to various input/output contacts, for example, a conductive pad, a conductive bump, a conductive pillar, etc.


The “high voltage processing circuit” herein is, for example, configured to raise the low voltage to the high voltage, for example, to an operating voltage of the array, such as 30 V. Specifically, the high voltage processing circuit is, for example, a charge pumping circuit, a word line decoder, a word line switch, or other circuits capable of converting or processing high voltage and the low voltage.


As shown in FIG. 1B, the peripheral substrate 110 includes circuits other than the array. In other words, the peripheral substrate 110 does not include the array, and circuits other than the array could be formed on the peripheral substrate 110. The peripheral substrate 110 and the array substrate 120 could be connected through face to face cu—cu hybrid bonding and through-silicon via (TSV) (similar to the conductive via 510v and the conductive via 530v in FIG. 5A) for signal vertical connection. In other embodiment, the peripheral substrate 110 and the array substrate 120 could be connected through hybrid bonding for signal vertical connection, wherein the hybrid bonding is, for example, that: the metal pads for connection could be formed on the peripheral substrate 110 and the array substrate 120 respectively, and the peripheral substrate 110 and the array substrate 120 could be connected through the metal pads for electrical connection and signally connection.


As shown in FIG. 1B, the array substrate 120 has an array substrate area A120. In the present embodiment, the array substrate 120 does not include a second high voltage processing circuit. In another embodiment, the array substrate 120 may include the second high voltage processing circuit having a second circuit distribution area, wherein the second circuit distribution area of the second high voltage processing circuit accounts for less than 1% of the array substrate area A120. Since the memory device 100 could directly receive the high voltage HV, the proportion of the second high voltage processing circuit in the array substrate 120 could be reduced, or even completely omitted.

The memory device 200 is, for example, a flash memory, such as a NAND memory.


As shown in FIG. 2A, the memory device 200 includes the peripheral substrate 210, the array substrate 220 and the high voltage processing substrate 230. The array substrate 220, the peripheral substrate 210 and the high voltage processing substrate 230 are stacked on each other. One of the array substrate 220, the peripheral substrate 210 and the high voltage processing substrate 230 could be disposed between the other two of the array substrate 220, the peripheral substrate 210 and the high voltage processing substrate 230. A base of the peripheral substrate 210, the base of the array substrate 220 and the base of the high voltage processing substrate 230 are, for example, silicon wafers. The circuits on the peripheral substrate 210, the array substrate 220 and the high voltage processing substrate 230 are formed by semiconductor process.


As shown in FIG. 2B, the peripheral substrate 210 includes a page buffer 211 and has a peripheral substrate area A210. The array substrate 220 includes an array 221. A first circuit distribution area A212 of the first high voltage processing circuit 212 accounts for less than 10% of the peripheral substrate area A210, such as 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% %, 10%, or a real number between the aforementioned two proportional values. In comparison with the page buffer 211, the first high voltage processing circuit 212 and the peripheral substrate 210 are formed on the same substrate, since the array 221 is formed on the array substrate 220 in the present embodiment, the peripheral substrate 210 could spare a more space for the page buffer 211 with a larger area. The page buffer 211 with a larger area could provide more storage space for data reading, and meet the requirement of higher operating speed. In addition, the peripheral substrate 210, the array substrate 220 and the high voltage processing substrate 230 are manufactured separately, and could simplify the overall manufacturing process and/or circuit design complexity of the memory device 200.


As shown in FIG. 2B, the peripheral substrate 210 includes circuits other than the array. In other words, the peripheral substrate 210 does not include the array, and circuits other than the array could be formed on the peripheral substrate 210. Two of the peripheral substrate 210, the array substrate 220 and high voltage processing substrate 230 could be connected through at least one TSV (similar to the conductive via 510v and the conductive via 530v in FIG. 5A) for signal vertical connection. In other embodiment, two of the peripheral substrate 210, the array substrate 220 and high voltage processing substrate 230 could be connected through hybrid bonding for signal vertical connection, wherein the hybrid bonding is, for example, that: the metal pads for connection could be formed on two substrates respectively, and the two substrates could be connected through the metal pads for electrical connection and signally connection.


As shown in FIG. 2B, the array substrate 220 has an array substrate area A220. In the present embodiment, the array substrate 220 does not include the second high voltage processing circuit. In another embodiment, the array substrate 220 may include the second high voltage processing circuit having a second circuit distribution area, wherein the second circuit distribution area of the second high voltage processing circuit accounts for less than 1% of the array substrate area A220. Since the memory device 200 could receive the high voltage HV, the proportion of the second high voltage processing circuit in the array substrate 220 could be reduced, or even completely omitted.


As shown in FIG. 2B, the high voltage processing substrate 230 includes a third high voltage processing circuit 231, at least one low voltage input contact 232 and at least one high voltage input contact 233. The low voltage input contact 232 is configured to receive the low voltage LV less than 5 V, and the high voltage input contact 233 is configured to receive the high voltage HV equal to or higher than 5 V. The memory device 200 could selectively receive the high voltage HV. In the present embodiment, a third circuit distribution area A231 of the third high voltage processing circuit 231 accounts for more than 90% of the high voltage processing substrate area A230 of the high voltage processing substrate 230, for example, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%. %, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 98%, 100%, or a real number between the aforementioned two proportional values. In the present embodiment, even if the high voltage input contact 233 is omitted, due to the third circuit distribution area A231 of the third high voltage processing circuit 231 accounting for more than 90% of the high voltage processing substrate area A230 of the high voltage processing substrate 230, there is enough space to form a boost circuit capable of boosting the low voltage LV to the high voltage HV in the high voltage processing substrate 230.


In the present embodiment, due to most of the high voltage processing circuits of the memory device 200 being disposed on the high voltage processing substrate 230, the overall thermal management of the memory device 200 could be performed on the high voltage processing substrate 230 alone, and it is conduce to the heat dissipation rate of the memory device 200.

In the present embodiment, due to the memory device 300 directly receiving the high voltage HV to reduce a boosting load of the first high voltage processing circuit 331 (for example, simplifying circuit design, reducing occupied space, etc.), a size of the high voltage processing substrate 330 could be reduced.
