摘要
This letter demonstrates an antifuse structure with a cell area of 0.2 x 0.2-mu-m2 which is fabricated by using the vertical sidewall of a polysilicon interconnect layer and two-mask patterning and etching steps. The antifuse is constructed in such a way that its vertical dimension is determined by the thickness of the polysilicon layer, and its horizontal dimension is determined by two-mask patterning and etching steps. For a conventional contact-hole type of structure, a 0.2-mu-m lithographic capability will be required to achieve the same antifuse cell size. It is also demonstrated that the time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) reliability of this sidewall antifuse is as good as that of a conventional planar contact-hole antifuse.
