An antifuse structure includes a first electrode, a layer of enhanced amorphous silicon over the first electrode, and a second electrode over the layer of enhanced amorphous silicon. The layer of enhanced amorphous silicon is formed by an ion-implantation of a neutral species and a dopant species into a deposited layer of amorphous silicon, such that the antifuse structure will have a stable conductive link in a programmed state and such that it will be less susceptible to off-state leakage in an unprogrammed state. A method for making an antifuse structure includes forming a lower electrode, depositing an amorphous silicon layer over the lower electrode, ion-implanting a neutral species and a dopant species into the amorphous silicon layer, and forming an upper electrode over the amorphous silicon layer.
