    摘要: A programmable device (eFuse), includes: a substrate (10); an insulator (13) on the substrate; an elongated semiconductor material (12) on the insulator, the elongated semiconductor material having a first end (12a), a second end (12b), a fuse link (11) between the ends, and an upper surface S. The semiconductor material includes a dopant having a concentration of at least 10*17/cc. The first end (12a) is wider than the second end (12b), and a metallic material is disposed on the upper surface. The metallic material is physically migratable along the upper surface responsive to an electrical current I flowable through the semiconductor material and through the metallic material.

    摘要: A method forms an anti-fuse structure comprises a plurality of parallel conductive fins positioned on a substrate, each of the fins has a first end and a second end. A second electrical conductor is electrically connected to the second end of the fins. An insulator covers the first end of the fins and a first electrical conductor is positioned on the insulator. The first electrical conductor is electrically insulated from the first end of the fins by the insulator. The insulator is formed to a thickness sufficient to break down on the application of a predetermined voltage between the second electrical conductor and the first electrical conductor and thereby form an uninterrupted electrical connection between the second electrical conductor and the first electrical conductor through the fins.
