    摘要: A method for programming an anti-fuse element in which the ratio between current values before and after writing is increased to ensure accuracy in making a judgment about how writing has been performed on the anti-fuse element. The method for programming the anti-fuse element as a transistor includes the steps of applying a prescribed gate voltage to a gate electrode to break down a gate dielectric film, and moving the silicide material of a silicide layer formed on a surface of at least one of a first impurity diffusion region and a second impurity diffusion region, into the gate dielectric film in order to couple the gate electrode with at least the one of the first impurity diffusion region and the second impurity diffusion region electrically through the silicide material.

    摘要: An antifuse comprised of an NMOS transistor or an NMOS capacitor includes a first terminal coupled to a gate electrode, a second terminal coupled to a diffusion layer, and a gate insulating film interposed between the gate electrode and the diffusion layer. A programming circuit includes a first programming circuit which has first current drive capability and which performs first programming operation and a second programming circuit which has second current drive capability larger than the first current drive capability and which performs second programming operation to follow the first programming operation. In the first programming operation, the first programming circuit breaks down the gate insulating film by applying a first programming voltage between the first terminal and the second terminal. In the second programming operation, the second programming circuit applies a second programming voltage lower than the first programming voltage between the first terminal and the second terminal.

    摘要: A first semiconductor device is formed over a substrate and includes a first insulation film, a first electrode, and a first diffusion layer. A second semiconductor device is formed over a substrate and includes a second insulation film, a second electrode, and a second diffusion layer. The second electrode is coupled to the first electrode. A control transistor allows one of a source and a drain to be coupled to the first electrode and the second electrode, allows the other one of the source and the drain to be coupled to a bit line, and allows a gate electrode to be coupled to a word line. A first potential control line is coupled to the first diffusion layer and controls a potential of the first diffusion layer. A second potential control line is coupled to the second diffusion layer and controls a potential of the second diffusion layer.

    摘要: An antifuse whose internal written information cannot be analyzed even by utilizing methods to determine whether there is a charge-up in the electrodes. The antifuse includes a gate insulation film, a gate electrode, and a first diffusion layer. A second diffusion layer is isolated from the first diffusion layer by way of a device isolator film, and is the same conduction type as the first diffusion layer. The gate wiring is formed as one integrated piece with the gate electrode, and extends over the device isolator film. A common contact couples the gate wiring to the second diffusion layer. The gate electrode is comprised of semiconductor material such as polysilicon that is doped with impurities of the same conduction type as the first diffusion layer. The second diffusion layer is coupled only to the common contact.
