    摘要: An anti-fuse useful in implementing redundancy in a memory utilizes a normal transistor characteristic that is generally considered undesirable in order to provide two easily detected states. The un-programmed state, which is the high impedance state, is achieved simply with a normal transistor in its non-conductive state. The programmed state, which is the low impedance state, is achieved by forcing a normal transistor to conduct current through its gate. This causes the gate dielectric to become permanently conductive. This programmed transistor then is conductive between its source and drain that is easily differentiated from the transistor that is held in its non-conductive state. The result is a fuse technology using an anti-fuse that provides for easily distinguishable programmed and un-programmed states achieved by electrical programming rather than by laser programming.

    摘要: A contact between a source/drain and a gate is made by making a selected portion of the gate dielectric conductive by an implant into that selected portion of the gate dielectric. The gate material is in a layer over the entire integrated circuit. Areas where gates are to connect to source/drains are indentified and the gate dielectric at those identified locations is implanted to make it conductive. The source/drains are formed so that they extend under these areas of conductive gate dielectric so that at these locations the implanted gate dielectric shorts the gate to the source/drain. This saves area on the integrated circuit, reduces the need for interconnect layers, and avoids the problems associated with depositing and etching polysilicon on an exposed silicon substrate.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method of configuring a semiconductor device includes identifying an interconnect having an interconnect path length greater than a stress-induced void formation characteristic length of the semiconductor device, and placing, with a processor, a conductive structure adjacent the interconnect to define a pair of segments of the interconnect. Each segment has a length no greater than the stress-induced void formation characteristic length of the interconnect, and the conductive structure is selected from the group consisting of a decoy via connected to the interconnect, a floating tile disposed along the interconnect, a tab that laterally extends outward from the interconnect, and a jumper from a first metal layer in which the interconnect is disposed to a second metal layer.
