    摘要: A method of forming a memory cell includes: providing a semiconductor substrate; forming an active region on the semiconductor substrate; providing a first conductive line over a first portion of the active region to form a first transistor coupled to a bit line of the memory cell; providing a second conductive line over a second portion of the active region to form a second transistor coupled to the bit line of the memory cell; and providing a third conductive line over a third portion of the active region to form a third transistor coupled to a first word line of the memory cell. The first transistor and the second transistor are disposed on two sides of the third transistor, and the third transistor electrically couples the first transistor to the second transistor. A threshold voltage of the second transistor is different from a threshold voltage of the first transistor.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing an electrical fuse (e-fuse) device. The method includes forming a mask layer over a semiconductor substrate, and etching the semiconductor substrate by using the mask layer as a mask to form a fuse link over a semiconductor base. The method also includes epitaxially growing a first bottom anode/cathode region and a second bottom anode/cathode region over the semiconductor base and adjacent to a bottom portion of the fuse link. The fuse link is between the first bottom anode/cathode region and the second anode/cathode region. The method further includes epitaxially growing a top anode/cathode region to replace the mask layer.

    摘要: A semiconductor wafer includes first zones containing integrated circuits, each first zone including a substrate and a sealing ring at a periphery of the substrate. The first zones are separated from each other by second zones defining cutting lines or paths. The integrated circuit includes an electrically conductive fuse that extends between a first location inside the integrated circuit and a second location situated outside the integrated circuit beyond one of the cutting lines. This electrically conductive fuse includes a portion that passes through the sealing ring and another portion that straddles the adjacent cutting line. The portion of the fuse that passes through is electrically isolated from the sealing ring and from the substrate. The straddling portion is configured to be sliced, when cutting the wafer along the cutting line, so as to cause the fuse to change from an electrical on state to an electrical off state.
