  • Fusible link employing capacitor structure
    Patent number: 4543594
    Abstract: A capacitor-like MOS structure which provides a fusible link useful in a ROM, redundancy circuit, or the like is disclosed. An oxide layer insulates a polysilicon electrode from a doped substrate region. A potential is applied between the electrode and the doped region of sufficient magnitude to cause the oxide to rupture and to cause permanent filaments to be formed within the oxide. The filaments provide permanent conductive links between the polysilicon electrode and the doped substrate region.
