Abstract:
Antifuse structures are provided for use in applications such as field programmable gate arrays and programmable read-only memories. High aspect ratio channels within an antifuse dielectric layer are used to form antifuse electrode projections. The projections are configured to enhance the electric field across the antifuse structures, thereby facilitating dielectric breakdown. The antifuse structures can enable low voltage programming.
