    摘要: A resistive random access memory array may be formed on the same substrate with a fuse array. The random access memory and the fuse array may use the same active material. For example, both the fuse array and the memory array may use a chalcogenide material as the active switching material. The main array may use a pattern of perpendicular sets of trench isolations and the fuse array may only use one set of parallel trench isolations. As a result, the fuse array may have a conductive line extending continuously between adjacent trench isolations. In some embodiments, this continuous line may reduce the resistance of the conductive path through the fuses.

    摘要: Some embodiments include a fuse having a tungsten-containing structure directly contacting an electrically conductive structure. The electrically conductive structure may be a titanium-containing structure. An interface between the tungsten-containing structure and the electrically conductive structure is configured to rupture when current through the interface exceeds a predetermined level. Some embodiments include a method of forming and using a fuse. The fuse is formed to have a tungsten-containing structure directly contacting an electrically conductive structure. An interface between the tungsten-containing structure and the electrically conductive structure is configured to rupture when current through the interface exceeds a predetermined level. Current exceeding the predetermined level is passed through the interface to rupture the interface.

    摘要: A forms spacers in a electronic device integrated on a semiconductor substrate that includes: first and second transistors each comprising a gate electrode projecting from the substrate and respective source/drain regions. The process comprises: forming in cascade a first protective layer and a first conformal insulating layer of a first thickness on the whole electronic device; forming a first mask to cover the first transistor; removing the first conformal insulating layer not covered by the first mask; removing the first mask; forming a second conformal insulating layer of a second thickness on the whole device; and removing the insulating layers until the protective layer is exposed to form first spacers of a first width on the side walls of the gate electrodes of the first transistor and second spacers of a second width on the side walls of the gate electrodes of the second transistor.
