具体实施方式
借由接下来的叙述及所提供的众多特定细节,可充分了解本发明。然而对于本领域中的技术人员,在没有这些特定细节下依然可实行本发明。并且,一些此领域中公知的系统配置和工艺步骤并未在此详述,因为这些应是本领域中的技术人员所熟知的。
同样地,实施例的附图为示意图,并未照实际比例绘制,为了清楚呈现而放大一些尺寸。在此公开和描述的多个实施例中若具有共通或类似的某些特征时,为了方便附图及描述,类似的特征通常会以相同的标号表示。
本发明是关于能够维持较高写入电压(VPP)的低电压NMOS逆熔丝存储单元。低电压NMOS逆熔丝存储单元是单层多晶硅非易失性存储单元,并且可以用作改善写入性能的单次性写入(OTP)存储单元。根据本发明一实施例,低电压NMOS逆熔丝存储单元可以制造在主体硅衬底上。在另一个实施例中,低电压NMOS逆熔丝存储单元可以制造在硅覆绝缘(SOI)衬底上。
请参考图1及图2。图1是根据本发明一实施例的包括两个示例性单层多晶硅非易失性存储单元C1及C2的一部分的示意性布局图。图2是沿图1的切线I-I’截取的示意性剖面图。如图1及图2所示,存储器数组1包含由虚线表示的至少两个单层多晶硅非挥发性记忆(NVM)胞C1和C2。根据本发明一实施例,NVM胞C1和NVM胞C2是以中心虚线100彼此镜像对称。根据本发明一实施例,NVM胞C1和NVM胞C2可以共享一个共享源极掺杂区域111,但不限于此。
应理解的是,存储器数组1包括多个存储单元。为了简化,图中仅例示NVM胞C1和NVM胞C2
NVM胞C1和NVM胞C2可以制造在具有第一导电型,例如P型的主体硅衬底10上。根据本发明一实施例,主体硅衬底10可以是P型掺杂硅衬底。根据本发明一实施例,可以在由沟道绝缘(STI)区域120围绕的硅衬底10的条形有源区域101上制造NVM胞C1和NVM胞C2
