Publication number: 20250089244Abstract: A one-time-programmable (OTP) memory device includes an active region and a gate electrode layer. The active region includes a channel region having a channel layer and source/drain regions disposed on opposite sides of the channel region in a Y-direction. The gate electrode layer extends in an X-direction and wraps around the channel layer.
