  • Patent number: 8034712
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a dual damascene structure is described. A dielectric layer and a metal hard mask layer are sequentially formed on a substrate having thereon a conductive layer and a liner layer. The metal hard mask layer and the dielectric layer are patterned to form a via hole exposing a portion of the liner layer. A gap-filling layer is filled in the via hole, having a height of ¼ to ½ of the depth of the via hole. A trench is formed in the metal hard mask layer and the dielectric layer. The gap-filling layer is removed to expose the portion of the liner layer, which is then removed. A metal layer is formed filling in the via hole and the trench, and then the metal hard mask layer is removed.

  • Publication number: 20090029541
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an anti-fuse includes firstly forming a dielectric layer on a substrate having a first conductive type. Next, a conductive layer is formed on the dielectric layer. A first ion implantation process is then performed, such that the conductive layer has the first conductive type. Thereafter, the conductive layer and the dielectric layer are patterned to form a gate and a gate dielectric layer. The gate and the gate dielectric layer together construct a gate structure. Finally, two source/drain regions having a second conductive type are formed in the substrate at respective sides of the gate. Besides, a method of programming an anti-fuse includes firstly applying a voltage to a gate to break down a gate dielectric layer. The gate and a substrate are then electrically conducted or a P/N forward bias is then formed in a P/N junction after the breakdown of the gate dielectric layer.

  • Publication number: 20080211060
    Abstract: An anti-fuse is formed with a transistor with a doped channel. The anti-fuse will not generate a non-linear current after the anti-fuse is blown. The anti-fuse is used in memory cells of one-time programmable (OTP) memory. The OTP memory utilizes a p-type transistor and an n-type transistor to program the anti-fuse. The anti-fuse has the doped channel, so a current will not flow through the p/n junction between the substrate and two doped regions of the anti-fuse to form a non-linear current after the anti-fuse is blown. Thus, the memory cells of the OTP memory can be programmed correctly.
