Semiconductor structure and method for fabricating same
Embodiments disclose a semiconductor structure and a method for fabricating the same. The semiconductor structure includes: a substrate, a gate dielectric layer, a first conductive layer, and a conductive plug. The gate dielectric layer is provided on the substrate, and the first conductive layer is provided on the gate dielectric layer. The conductive plug is provided on the gate dielectric layer and covers a side wall of the first conductive layer, where a projection of the conductive plug on the substrate and a projection of the gate dielectric layer on the substrate at least partially overlap. By providing the conductive plug, a breakdown current can break down a region of the gate dielectric layer corresponding to the conductive plug by means of the conductive plug. That is, a breakdown position is adjusted by controlling an overlapping position between the conductive plug and the gate dielectric layer.
Antifuse One-Time Programmable Memory and Manufacturing Method Thereof
An antifuse OTP memory bit cell comprises a gate electrode, a gate dielectric, a bit line diffusion, and source/drain diffusions formed in an active area of a semiconductor substrate. The bit line diffusion is of the same doping type as source/drain diffusion and is created by a doping process before the gate electrode is formed. The gate electrode is of the opposite doping type to the bit line diffusion and forms a rectifying junction with the bit line diffusion when a bit cell is programmed.
