Abstract

A semiconductor memory, including: a first memory cell including a first transistor; a second memory cell including a second transistor; and a memory peripherals transistor, the memory peripherals transistor is overlaying the second transistor or is underneath the first transistor, where the second memory cell overlays the first memory cell at a distance of less than 200 nm, and where the memory peripherals transistor is part of a peripherals circuit controlling the memory.

Claims (21)

1. A semiconductor memory, comprising:

a first memory cell comprising a first transistor;

a second memory cell comprising a second transistor;

a memory peripherals transistor, said memory peripherals transistor is atop said second transistor,

wherein said second memory cell is above said first memory cell at a distance of less than 200 nm,

wherein said memory peripherals transistor is part of a peripherals circuit controlling said memory, and

wherein said second memory cell and said first memory cell have been processed following the same lithography step and accordingly are self-aligned; and

a copper-based connection layer disposed between said memory peripherals transistor and said second memory cell.

2. The semiconductor memory according to claim 1 ,

wherein said second transistor comprises a single crystal channel.

3. The semiconductor memory according to claim 1 ,

wherein said first transistor is a polysilicon transistor.

4. The semiconductor memory according to claim 1 ,

wherein said first transistor is a junction-less transistor.

5. The semiconductor memory according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an isolation layer disposed between said memory peripherals transistor and said first transistor.

6. The semiconductor memory according to claim 1 ,

wherein said memory peripherals transistor comprises a single crystal channel.

7. The semiconductor memory according to claim 1 further comprising:

an isolation layer disposed between said memory peripherals transistor and said first transistor,

wherein said isolation layer comprises a via having a radius of less than 400 nm.
