Multi-doped silicon antifuse device for integrated circuit |
摘要 |
The present disclosure relates to an antifuse for preventing a flow of electrical current in an integrated circuit. One such antifuse includes a reactive material and a silicon region thermally coupled to the reactive material, where an electrical current to the reactive material causes the reactive material to release heat which transitions the silicon region from a high resistance state to a low resistance state. Another such antifuse includes a reactive material, at least one metal and a silicon region adjacent to the at least one metal and thermally coupled to the reactive material, where an electrical current to the reactive material causes the reactive material to release heat which transitions the silicon region from a high resistance state to a low resistance state. |

1. An antifuse comprising:
a reactive material; and a silicon region comprising amorphous silicon and thermally coupled to the reactive material, wherein an electrical current to the reactive material causes the reactive material to release heat which transitions the silicon region from a high resistance state to a low resistance state, and wherein the amorphous silicon is doped with at least one of: deuterium or helium. |
