Electrically programmable antifuse and fabrication processes

摘要

A process for fabricating a metal-to-metal antifuse in a process sequence for forming a double layer metal interconnect structure includes the steps of forming and defining a first metal interconnect layer, forming and planarizing an inter-metal dielectric layer, forming an antifuse cell opening in the inter-metal dielectric layer, forming and defining an antifuse layer, forming metal-to-metal via holes in the inter-metal dielectric layer, and forming and defining a second metal interconnect layer.
