  • Patent number: 8071437
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an efuse, a resistor and a transistor includes the following steps: A substrate is provided. Then, a gate, a resistor and an efuse are formed on the substrate, wherein the gate, the resistor and the efuse together include a first dielectric layer, a polysilicon layer and a hard mask. Later, a source/drain doping region is formed in the substrate besides the gate. After that, the hard mask in the resistor and the efuse is removed. Subsequently, a salicide process is performed to form a silicide layer on the source/drain doping region, the resistor, and the efuse. Then, a planarized second dielectric layer is formed on the substrate and the polysilicon in the gate is exposed. Later, the polysilicon in the gate is removed to form a recess. Finally a metal layer is formed to fill up the recess.
