Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to semiconductor technologies.
Background technology
Anti-fuse cell is a kind of semiconductor devices being made of two conductive layers and the insulating medium layer between.Not
When programming, conductive layer is since insulating medium layer separates, the open circuit of antifuse both ends.In the case of plus high-pressure (when programming), absolutely
Edge medium is punctured by high electric field, forms conductive channel, and the resistance of antifuse is minimum at this time, is formed and is electrically connected between the conductive layer of both sides
It connects, antifuse short circuit (being melt through).This process that is melt through is physically disposable, permanent, irreversible, therefore this
Structure has natural immunity to ionising radiation, has high anti-radiation performance, and special with good high- and low-temperature resistance
Property.Logical zero and logical one are respectively represented using antifuse switching two states, antifuse read-only memory can be designed
The antifuse devices such as PROM and anti-fuse FPGA.These antifuse devices have the advantages that highly anti-radiation, highly reliable, are very suitable for
Applied to space flight, return in the radiation environments such as satellite, space safety field, Space Target Surveillance aspect, remote sensing satellite system.
Industrial quarters mainly applies following three kinds of anti-fuse structures at present:1. polysilicon/dielectric layer/N+ diffusion layer structures;
2.MTM structures;3.MOS grid oxygen type structures.They have their own characteristics.
1. polysilicon/dielectric layer/N+ diffusion layer structures
Polysilicon and N+ diffusion layers are pole plate, and dielectric opens two electrode isolations.Dielectric layer is usually silica-nitrogen
SiClx-silica (ONO).ONO dielectrics include the SiO of bottom thermal oxide growth2Layer, intermediate LPCVD (low pressure chemical gas
Mutually deposit) Si3N4The SiO of layer and a top layer thermal oxide2Layer.
Due to Si3N4Dielectric constant be more than SiO2So that this ONO structure is dense, excellent in terms of forming resistance
In the SiO of same thickness single layer2, there is higher dielectric constant and lower leakage current.ONO layer thickness ordinarily is about
Unprogrammed antifuse shows as capacitance characteristic, and impedance can reach Ω grades of G, can be effectively isolated electrode.When to anti-fuse cell
When programming, the ONO antifuse average resistances after program current 5mA breakdown are about 500 Ω.
Compared to common CMOS process, ONO antifuse technique must additionally increase by three reticles, make N-type antifuse and expand
It dissipates and antifuse polycrystalline needs two additional versions, make programming high voltage transistor thick grating oxide layer and need a reticle.
2.MTM structures
MTM (Metal-To-Metal) structure is medium/metal layer/metal structure.The generally micro- non-crystalline silicon of dielectric layer.Metal
Electrode is usually multilayered structure, is metal connecting layer/metal barrier/metal electrode, metal connecting layer Ti, Cr, metal electricity
Extremely 4000~6000 angstroms Al, Pt, W, Mo or its silicide or polysilicon, the TiW or TiN that metal barrier is 100 angstroms,
The alloying component of middle TiW is 10%Ti and 90%W.
Mainly there are two advantages relative to ONO antifuse for MTM antifuse:First, MTM antifuse are directly and interconnection metal layer
It is connected, and there are one parasitic capacitances to exist for meeting between ONO antifuse and wiring layer;Second, MTM antifuse are attached directly to low resistance
Metal layer makes it be easier to reduce the conducting resistance of antifuse using the program current of bigger.
Non-crystalline silicon antifuse technique need to increase by two processing steps and improve a technique on the basis of standard CMOS process
Step.Improved processing step be tungsten plug flatening process because MTM antifuse need it is more flat than stand CMOS
Surface.Increased processing step is the deposition and etching of non-crystalline silicon.
3.MOS grid oxygen type anti-fuse structures
Mos gate oxygen type antifuse is to form antifuse using metal-oxide-semiconductor gate oxide medium the most.Gate oxide breakdown
Before, grid and source-drain electrode isolation show as capacitance characteristic;By applying high-voltage breakdown gate oxide, grid and source-drain electrode to grid
Breakdown shows as resistance characteristic.With the development of semiconductor integrated circuit technique, the gate oxide thickness of metal-oxide-semiconductor is gradually reduced,
Its breakdown voltage is gradually lowered.It is 7nm from the gate oxide thickness of 0.35 μm of technique, arrives the gate oxide of current 22nm techniques
Only several atomic thickness, and device operating voltages are only reduced to 1V or so from 5V, this makes gate oxide be directly used as instead
Fuse cell is possibly realized.Simultaneously as the commercial CMOS technology using standard manufactures, additional mask and special is not needed
Technique has very strong autgmentability, the disposable programmable memory of high density, low cost, high reliability may be implemented.
But gate oxide antifuse due to using gate oxide medium the most, deposit resistance after programming it is too big (>1k Ω), and
The dispersion of resistance very big (1k-100k Ω) the problems such as, considerable restraint is received in application range, such as can not be by gate oxide
Antifuse is directly used in FPGA.
As seen from the above, polysilicon/dielectric layer/N+ diffusion layers structure and MTM structure antifuse function admirables, but with
CMOS technology is incompatible, and economy and scalability are poor.Mos gate oxygen type structure antifuse is compatible with CMOS technology, but performance
It is very poor.
