BACKGROUND
1. Field
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a semiconductor memory device and, more particularly, to a technology for increasing area availability of a memory device in a Peripheral Under Cell (PUC) structure.

In order to address this issue, methods for fabricating memory devices having three-dimensionally arranged memory cells have recently been proposed. If the memory cells are arranged in three dimensions, the semiconductor substrate area can be used more efficiently.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used to refer to the same parts. In the following description, a detailed description of well known configurations or functions will be omitted when it may make the subject matter less clear.
FIGS. 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams illustrating a conventional three-dimensional (3D) semiconductor memory device.
Referring to FIG. 1, the conventional 3D semiconductor memory device includes a cell region A and an X-decoder region spaced apart from the cell region A by a predetermined distance.
The cell region A includes a word line multilayered structure 115 formed by alternately stacking a conductive material and an insulation film, and a plurality of bit lines 160 extending perpendicular to the word line multilayered structure 115.

A plurality of active regions 100, a gate electrode 110, and a source/drain junction region 100a are included in the pass transistor region C. A block switch unit 170 coupled to the gate electrode 110 is disposed in the block switch region D.
As described above, the conventional 3D semiconductor memory device includes the cell region A and the X-decoder region spaced apart from the cell region A. A slimming region B for coupling the cell region A to the pass transistor region C is arranged between the cell region A and the X-decoder region. The slimming region B includes a step-shaped pad structure 120 formed by etching the word line multilayered structure 115 formed in the slimming region B at an outer wall of the cell region A and a first metal line 130 and a second metal line 140 respectively coupled to the pad structure 120 and the source/drain junction region 100a of the pass transistor region C. The second metal line 140 may be formed higher than the bit lines 160 of the cell region A.
FIG. 2 shows a Peripheral Under Cell (PUC) structure in which a peripheral (Peri) region having a pass transistor region is arranged below a cell region to increase the available area of the 3D semiconductor memory device shown in FIG. 1.
Referring to FIG. 2, the 3D semiconductor memory device includes the cell region A; and the pass transistor region C located below a part of the cell region A. The 3D semiconductor memory device further includes a block switch region D spaced apart from the cell region A by a predetermined distance.

The bit lines 260 are coupled to a semiconductor substrate (not shown) through bit line contact plugs 250 formed to pass through the word line multilayered structure 215.
In addition, a slimming region B for coupling the cell region A to the pass transistor region C is arranged at an outer wall of the cell region A. The slimming region B includes a step-shaped pad structure 220 formed by etching the word line multilayered structure 215 formed in the slimming region B at the outer wall of the cell region A; and a first metal line 230 and a second metal line 240 respectively coupled to the pad structure 220 and a source/drain junction region 200a of the pass transistor region C. The second metal line 240 is formed in the pass transistor region C located below the cell region A, extends parallel to the bit lines 260, and is lower than the bit lines 260 of the cell region A.
As described above, even when the pass transistor region C is arranged below the cell region A to increase the available area of the 3D semiconductor memory device, the slimming region B for coupling the cell region A to the pass transistor region C has to be arranged at the outer wall of the cell region A, resulting in a reduction of the available area.
In order to address the above-mentioned issue in which the area availability is reduced by arranging the slimming region at the outer wall of the cell region, the semiconductor memory device according to the embodiment proposes an improved structure in which a slimming region is arranged in the cell region.

In this case, a space in which the bit lines 560 are not formed is separately formed, and the pad structure 520 is arranged in the space. In addition, the bit line contact plugs 550 coupled to the bit lines 560 are not arranged in a region in which the pad structure 520 is formed.

The cell region A may include a plurality of slimming regions B formed by etching the word line multilayered structures 615. The word line multilayered structures 615 of the slimming region B may be patterned in a step shape. For example, a mask pattern (not shown) is formed to cover the slimming region B, and a process of reducing the size of the mask pattern (not shown) while simultaneously etching the conductive materials and the insulation films is repeatedly performed. As a result, a step-shaped pad structure 620 may be formed.
In this case, the pad structure 620 may be etched to have a critical dimension W2 smaller than a critical dimension W1 of the word lines multilayered structures 615 included in one block. In other words, by forming the pad structure 620, the word line multilayered structure 615 connects.
The horizontally symmetrical pad structure 620 may be formed in one slimming region B. Although the embodiment has exemplarily disclosed a horizontally symmetrical pad structure, the scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and a horizontally asymmetrical pad structure may also be formed in one slimming region. In addition, slimming region B and the other slimming region B adjacent thereto may have different heights of upper ends and lower ends.

A plurality of active regions 600 may be arranged parallel to each other in the pass transistor region C, and gate electrodes 610 crossing the active regions 600 may be arranged in the pass transistor region C. Source/drain junction regions 600a may be formed in the active regions 600 at both sides of each gate electrode 610, and a first contact 670a and a second contact 670b are arranged in each source/drain junction region 600a.

For convenience, only the first surface of each pad structure 620 is depicted in the plan view of FIG. 6B. A fourth contact 670d is arranged in the pad structure 620 of the slimming region B. Although one contact is arranged in each word line multilayered structure 615 of the pad structure 620, the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, and contacts may be alternately arranged over the first surface and second surface of each pad structure 620 as necessary.
As described in above embodiment, the slimming region B is arranged in the cell region A, as compared to a conventional slimming region B that is located at the outer wall of the cell region A. As a result, the available area of a memory device may be increased.
FIGS. 7A to 7C are a plan view and a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor memory device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
FIG. 7A illustrates an arrangement of metal lines for coupling the cell region to the pass transistor region shown in FIG. 6B. FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view illustrating the semiconductor memory device taken along the line X-X′ of FIG. 7A, and FIG. 7C is a cross-sectional view illustrating the line Y-Y′ of FIG. 7A.
The connection relationship among the pass transistor region C, the gate electrode 710, and the slimming region B will hereinafter be described with reference to FIGS. 7A to 7C.
A plurality of active regions 700 may be arranged parallel to each other in the pass transistor region C, and gate electrodes 710 crossing the active regions 700 may be arranged in the pass transistor region C.

As is apparent from the above description, a slimming region having a pad structure is arranged in a cell region, so that a Peripheral Under Cell (PUC) structure may be implemented without increasing the number of strings. Since the number of strings are not increased, block size increase is suppressed, so that an efficient block size may be proposed.
In addition, a contact passing through a slit between memory blocks is formed so that a pad structure of a slimming region is coupled to a pass transistor region located below a cell region. As a result, a region is not added due to the slimming region formed in the cell region, so that chip size increase may be suppressed.
