    摘要: Electrically programmable fuse structures for an integrated circuit and methods of fabrication thereof are presented, wherein the electrically programmable fuse has a first terminal portion and a second terminal portion interconnected by a fuse element. The first terminal portion and the second terminal portion reside at different heights relative to a supporting surface of the fuse structure, and the interconnecting fuse element transitions between the different heights of the first terminal portion and the second terminal portion. The first and second terminal portions are oriented parallel to the supporting surface, while the fuse element includes a portion oriented orthogonal to the supporting surface, and includes at least one right angle bend where transitioning from at least one of the first and second terminal portions to the orthogonal oriented portion of the fuse element.

    摘要: Programmable anti-fuse structures for semiconductor device constructions, fabrication methods for forming anti-fuse structures during semiconductor device fabrication, and programming methods for anti-fuse structures. The programmable anti-fuse structure comprises first and second terminals and an anti-fuse layer electrically coupled with the first and second terminals. An electrically-conductive diffusion layer is disposed between the first terminal and the anti-fuse layer. The diffusion layer inhibits diffusion of conductive material from the first terminal to the anti-fuse layer when the anti-fuse structure is unprogrammed, but permits diffusion of the conductive material when a programming voltage is applied between the first and second terminals during operation. Advantageously, the first terminal may be composed of metal and the anti-fuse layer may be composed of a semiconductor. The methods of fabricating the anti-fuse structure do not require an additional lithographic mask but instead rely on damascene process steps used to fabricate interconnection structures for neighboring active devices.

    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.
