Abstract
This application discloses a memory, a memory system and a method for forming the memory and belongs to the field of memory technology. According to the memory, by disposing a first connection line between the memory banks of a memory array and not disposing the first connection line within the memory bank, the memory banks are enabled to accommodate more memory blocks or memory blocks with larger size, thereby increasing the storage capacity of a single memory bank without changing the size of the memory bank, and thus increasing the storage capacity of the memory without changing the size of the memory.
Claims20
A memory, comprising:
- a memory array including a plurality of memory banks, wherein at least one first connection line is disposed in a first area between two adjacent memory banks;
- and
- a peripheral circuit stacked with the memory array in a stacking direction and connected with the first connection line, wherein a memory bank row control circuit is disposed in a second area of the peripheral circuit, and wherein the second area does not overlap with the first area in a plan view perpendicular to the stacking direction.
A memory system, comprising:
- a memory including:
- a memory array including a plurality of memory banks, wherein at least one first connection line is disposed in a first area between two adjacent memory banks, and
- a peripheral circuit stacked with the memory array and electrically connected with the first connection line, wherein a memory bank row control circuit is disposed in a second area of the peripheral circuit, and in a view of the memory perpendicular to a stacking direction, the second area does not overlap with the first area;
- and
- a memory controller coupled to the memory and configured to control operations of the memory array via the peripheral circuit.
A method for forming a memory, comprising:
- forming a memory array including a plurality of memory banks, wherein at least one first connection line is disposed in a first area between two adjacent memory banks;
- forming a peripheral circuit, wherein a memory bank row control circuit is disposed in a second area of the peripheral circuit;
- and
- bonding the memory array with the peripheral circuit, so that the peripheral circuit and the memory array are stacked, and in a view perpendicular to a stacking direction, the second area does not overlap with the first area.
