    摘要: A system and method for automatically adjusting one or more electrical parameters in a memory device, e.g., SRAM arrays. The system and method implements an SRAM sensing sub-array for accelerated collection of fail rate data for use in determining the operating point for optimum tradeoff between single event upset immunity and performance of a primary SRAM array. The accelerated fail rate data is input to an algorithm implemented for setting the SEU sensitivity of a primary SRAM memory array to a predetermined fail rate in an ionizing particle environment. The predetermined fail rate is maintained on a real-time basis in order to provide immunity to SEU consistent with optimum performance.

    摘要: A fuse/anti-fuse structure is provided in which programming of the anti-fuse is caused by an electromigation induced hillock that is formed adjacent to the fuse element. The hillock ruptures a thin diffusion barrier located on the sidewalls of the fuse element and the conductive material within the fuse element diffuses into the adjacent dielectric material. The fuse element includes a conductive material located within a line opening which includes a first diffusion barrier having a first thickness located on sidewalls and a bottom wall of the line opening. The anti-fuse element includes the conductive material located within a combined via and line opening which includes the first diffusion barrier located on sidewalls and a bottom wall of the combined via and line opening and a second diffusion barrier having a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness located on the first diffusion barrier.

    摘要: An electronic fuse for an integrated circuit and a method of fabrication thereof are presented. The electronic fuse has a first terminal portion and a second terminal portion interconnected by a fuse element. The fuse element has a convex upper surface and a lower surface with a radius of curvature at a smallest surface area of curvature less than or equal to 100 nanometers. Fabricating the electronic fuse includes forming an at least partially freestanding dielectric spacer above a supporting structure, and then conformably forming the fuse element of the fuse over at least a portion of the freestanding dielectric spacer, with the fuse element characterized as noted above. The dielectric spacer may remain in place as a thermally insulating layer underneath the fuse element, or may be removed to form a void underneath the fuse element.
