  • Publication number: 20240313046
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a fin-shaped structure on a substrate, forming a first trench and a second trench in the fin-shaped structure, forming a first dielectric layer in the first trench and the second trench, removing part of the first dielectric layer, forming a second dielectric layer in the first trench and the second trench to form a first single diffusion break (SDB) structure and a second SDB structure, and then forming a gate structure on the fin-shaped structure, the first SDB structure, and the second SDB structure.

  • Patent number: 9589970
    Abstract: An antifuse one-time programmable (OTP) memory cell includes a semiconductor substrate, an isolation region, and a fin structure protruding from a top surface of the isolation region. The fin structure has an end portion with a sidewall surface above the top surface. A select gate transistor is disposed on the fin structure. The select gate transistor has a select gate traversing the fin structure, a select gate dielectric layer, a drain region, and a source region. A vertical program gate transistor is serially connected to the select gate transistor through the source region. The vertical program gate transistor has a program gate directly disposed on the isolation region and covering the sidewall surface of the end portion, and a program gate dielectric layer between the program gate and the sidewall surface.
