Patent number: 6156588Abstract: The invention relates generally to integrated circuits and, in particular, to methods of forming anti-fuse structures during integrated circuit manufacture. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a conductive base layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate. An insulating layer is formed on the conductive base layer and is patterned to expose a portion of the conductive base layer. An anti-fuse layer is formed on the insulating layer and the exposed portion of the conductive base layer. A conductive protection layer is formed on the anti-fuse layer. An anti-fuse island is formed by sequentially removing a portion of the conductive protection layer, and underlying portions of the anti-fuse layer and the insulating layer. The conductive base layer is patterned after forming the anti-fuse island. The invention provides a simplified method for the formation of anti-fuse structures which is compatible with submicron device geometries.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 1998Date of Patent: December 5, 2000Assignee: VLSI Technology, Inc.Inventors: Ivan Sanchez, Miguel A.

Patent number: 5943591Abstract: A method for forming a scribe line on a semiconductor wafer including the steps of: (a) providing a semiconductor substrate; and (b) sequentially providing a plurality of layers over the semiconductor substrate of alternating conductive and insulating types, where each of the layers is provided with an elongated opening is formed relative to a desired scribe line position, and where the openings of at least some of the plurality of layers are wider than openings of preceding layers such that at least one sidewall of a completed scribe line has a pronounced slope extending outwardly from its base. The structure of the present invention is, therefore, a scribe line having sloped sidewalls that greatly reduces scribe line contamination problems and enhances planarization during subsequent spin-on-material processes. The scribe lines can either be elongated openings in the layers, or an elongated mesa formed in the layers.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1997Date of Patent: August 24, 1999Assignee: VLSI TechnologyInventors: Edward R.
