    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include an electromagnetic waveguide and methods of forming the electromagnetic waveguide. In an embodiment the electromagnetic waveguide includes a first spacer and a second spacer. In an embodiment, the first and second spacer each have a reentrant profile. The electromagnetic waveguide may also include a conductive body formed between in the first and second spacer, and a void formed within the conductive body. In an additional embodiment, the electromagnetic waveguide may include a first spacer and a second spacer. Additionally, the electromagnetic waveguide may include a first portion of a conductive body formed along sidewalls of the first and second spacer and a second portion of the conductive body formed between an upper portion of the first portion of the conductive body. In an embodiment, the first portion of the conductive body and the second portion of the conductive body define a void through the electromagnetic waveguide.

    Abstract: A MOS antifuse with an accelerated dielectric breakdown induced by a void or seam formed in the electrode. In some embodiments, the programming voltage at which a MOS antifuse undergoes dielectric breakdown is reduced through intentional damage to at least part of the MOS antifuse dielectric. In some embodiments, damage may be introduced during an etchback of an electrode material which has a seam formed during backfilling of the electrode material into an opening having a threshold aspect ratio. In further embodiments, a MOS antifuse bit-cell includes a MOS transistor and a MOS antifuse. The MOS transistor has a gate electrode that maintains a predetermined voltage threshold swing, while the MOS antifuse has a gate electrode with a void accelerated dielectric breakdown.
