ANTISCHMELZSICHERUNGSSTRUKTUR UND VERFAHREN ZU IHRER HERSTELLUNG

摘要

An anti-fuse structure characterized by a substrate, an oxide layer formed over the substrate having an opening formed therein, an amorphous silicon material disposed within the opening and contacting the substrate, a conductive protective material, such as titanium tungsten, disposed over the amorphous silicon material, and oxide spacers lining the walls of a recess formed within the protective material. The protective material and the spacers provide tighter programming voltage distributions for the anti-fuse structure and help prevent anti-fuse failure.
