The anti-fuse includes a substrate, a gate disposed over the substrate, a gate dielectric layer sandwiched between the substrate and the gate, and two source/drain regions in the substrate at respective sides of the gate. The gate and the substrate have the same conductive type, but the conductive type of the gate and the substrate is different from that of the two source/drain regions.

    Abstract: A mask ROM stores information by selecting the work function of the gates of each FET in an array of FETs. The polysilicon gates of some of the FETs are doped N-type and the gates of the other FETs are doped P-type to form gates having different work functions, thereby forming FETs having different threshold voltages. The ROM consists of a parallel array of buried N.sup.+ bit lines formed in the substrate, a gate oxide layer deposited over the bit lines and a layer of polysilicon deposited on the gate oxide. The polysilicon is blanket doped P-type and then an encoding mask is formed, with openings in the encoding mask exposing regions of the polysilicon to be formed into gates of FETs with low threshold voltages. Either arsenic or phosphorus is doped into the polysilicon through the mask openings. The mask is removed, a layer of conductive material such as tungsten silicide is deposited and the polysilicon and the conductive material are formed into word lines for the ROM. The word lines of the ROM serve as gates for the FETs and the bit lines serve as sources and drains for the FETs.

Source/drain regions are arranged on a substrate as strips extending along a first direction on the plane of the substrate and bit lines. Gate oxide layers are arranged on the substrate as strips extending along a second direction. Gate electrodes are each formed on top of each of the gate oxide layers as strips extending along the second direction.

    Abstract: A semiconductor read-only memory (ROM) and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The ROM device is structured in such a manner that allows the fabrication to include a fewer number of mask processes. This makes it more cost effective and allows a cycle time that is shorter than that of the prior art. Moreover, the particular structure of the ROM device makes punchthrough less likely to occur between any neighboring pairs of the buried bit lines when the ROM device is further scaled down. The ROM device is constructed on a semiconductor substrate which is partitioned into a peripheral region and a cell region. A plurality of STI structures are formed at predefined locations in both the peripheral region and the cell region. Immediately after this, a first ion-implantation process can be performed on the cell region to form a plurality of buried bit lines. Subsequently, the dielectric isolation layers in all of the STI structures in the cell region are removed, leaving a plurality of empty trenches behind. A conformal insulating layer and a conductive layer are then successively formed over the wafer, and the conductive layer is further selectively removed to form a word line in the cell region and a gate in the peripheral region. In the code implantation process, selected channel regions between the buried bit lines are doped with impurities for code implantation of data into the ROM device.

    Abstract: An improved Read-Only-Memory (ROM) structure and a method of manufacturing said ROM device structure having an ultra-high-density of coded ROM cells, was achieved. The array of programmed ROM cells are composed of a single field effect transistor (FET) in each ROM cell. The improved ROM process utilizes the patterning of a ROM code insulating layer over each coded FET (cell) that is selected to remain in an off-state (nonconducting) when a gate voltage is applied. The remaining FETs (cells) have a thin gate oxide which switch to the on-state (conducting) when a gate voltage is applied. The thick ROM code insulating layer eliminates the need to code the FETs in the ROM memory cells by conventional high dose ion implantation. This eliminated the counter-doping of the buried bit lines by the implantation allowing for much tighter ground rules for the spacing between buried bit line. The elimination of the implant also reduces substantially the stand-by leakage current that is so important in battery operated electronic equipment, such as lap-top computers. The gate capacitance of the off-state cells is also substantially reduced because of the thick insulating layer, thereby reducing the RC time delay in the word lines and improving circuit performance.

    Abstract: The invention describes recessed buried conductive regions formed in a trench in the substrate that provides a smooth surface topology, smaller devices and improved device performance. The buried regions have two conductive regions, the first on the trench sidewalls, the second on the trench bottom. In addition, two buried layers are formed between adjacent buried conductive regions: a threshold voltage layer near the substrate surface and an anti-punchthrough layer formed at approximately the same depth as the conductive regions on the trench bottoms. The first conductive region and the anti-punchthrough layer have the effect of increasing the punchthru voltage without increasing the threshold voltage. The first and second regions also lowers the resistivity of the buried regions allowing use of smaller line pitches and therefore smaller devices. Overall, the recessed conductive regions and the two buried layers allow the formation of smaller devices with improved performance.
