Abstract: Disclosed herein is a fuse of a semiconductor memory device and a repair process for the same. The fuse includes a lower conductive film of a multilayer interconnection formed on a lower structure of a semiconductor substrate, an upper conductive film of the multilayer interconnection spaced apart upward from the lower conductive film to define a predetermined vertical space therebetween, and a contact electrode, which vertically connects the upper and lower conductive films to each other and forms a fuse body. The lower conductive film includes a form not coinciding with that of the upper conductive film. With such a configuration, the device can achieve a stable minimization in the length of the fuse and the distance between adjacent fuses in consideration of a laser beam irradiation region for the high integration of the semiconductor memory device. In this way, the device performs the repair process of cutting the contact electrode and/or upper conductive film using a laser beam.

Abstract: A testing method for a semiconductor memory includes the steps of storing data in each of a plurality of memory cell blocks, electrically connecting two memory cell blocks with a sense amplifier shared by the two memory cell blocks of the plurality of memory cell blocks, sensing data of the two memory cells through the sense amplifier and determining whether the sensed data is normal based on a bit line capacitance increase according to the connection of the two memory cell blocks. The testing method can intentionally reduce an offset margin of a memory cell through increase of bit line capacitance, remove and screen an abnormal memory cell having a smaller capacitance and effectively decrease testing time.

Abstract: Method for fabricating a semiconductor device including the steps of forming an interlayer insulating film, an etch stopper film, and a PE-TEOS film on a semiconductor substrate having an lower side structure formed thereon, by using a contact mask as an etch mask for exposing a portion to be a contact, etching the PE-TEOS film, the etch stopper film, and the interlayer insulating film, to form a contact hole, forming a polysilicon layer for a plug on an entire surface, and etched back, to stuff the contact hole, forming a core oxide film pattern on an entire surface to expose a portion to be a storage electrode, removing the polysilicon layer for a plug stuffed in the storage electrode contact hole by using an etch selectivity of the core oxide film pattern and the PE-TEOS film over the polysilicon layer for plug, to form a recess, to form a wedge type storage electrode contact plug left only in a portion of the interlayer insulating film in the storage electrode contact hole with a collapsed upper portion,
