Fuses made of these materials used for programming are generally cut by electrical fusing.
Cutting requires a high temperature of over 1400℃, which requires a large amount of power. This is because such materials are
Since it is used as part of the wiring, if the resistance is made large so that it is easy to raise it to a high temperature for cutting, if that part does not need to be cut in terms of the circuit and is used as part of the circuit. When this occurs, a high resistance layer is present in the circuit, which slows down the circuit's operating time. Therefore, in reality, the resistance has not been increased too much, and cutting has been compensated for by increasing the current. Furthermore, since the cutting is done by fusing a polysilicon material, etc., the cutting does not take a sharp shape, making it difficult to visually confirm the cutting.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and for this purpose, in a memory device that is programmed by cutting wiring constituting an integrated circuit, the wiring is made of a metal material that sublimates when oxidized. The wiring is placed on a resistor of a semiconductor layer independent of the integrated circuit via an insulating layer, and the semiconductor layer is heated to oxidize the cut portion of the wiring. Provided is a semiconductor device characterized in that the semiconductor device is sublimated and cut.

In such a PROM, IC wiring is directly performed using molybdenum wiring, and on the other hand, as a heater or a resistor for sublimating molybdenum, a resistor is prepared using a semiconductor layer such as polysilicon in addition to the wiring. In other words, since the cutting circuit and the IC wiring are distinct and independent, the cutting circuit constituted by the heater or the resistor does not hinder or impede the speeding up of the IC.

Figure 1 shows the fuse method using conventional technology.
A portion of the PROM is shown in plan view. In the figure,
1 and 1' indicate aluminum wiring used for programming, and both wirings are connected by a wiring 2 made of, for example, polysilicon or Ti--W alloy.
When it is desired to disconnect the aluminum wirings 1 and 1' for programming, a large current is passed between them to melt down the wiring 2. In order to avoid that when the wiring 2 melts, the heat causes the aluminum wiring 1, 1' especially the ends of each to melt and connect, the wiring 2 must be designed to have a length of at least 5 μm. (assuming its width to be around 2 μm). The current required to blow out the wiring 2 was generally on the order of several tens of milliamperes when the applied voltage was 10V.

The embodiment of the present invention is shown in the plan view of FIG.
shown in the cross-sectional view. In this embodiment, molybdenum is selected as the fuse material to be broken, and its oxidation and sublimation are utilized. In the figure,
Reference numeral 11 is molybdenum wiring, and its cut or fuse portion 12 has a thickness of less than 1 μm and a width of approximately
Set to 2μm. By the way, in the case shown in FIG. 2a, the entire surface is covered with a protective film made of, for example, phosphosilicate glass (PSG), and when cutting the cut portion 12, a window 13 must be opened in the protective film. . The length L of the cut portion 12 depends on the lateral extent (as viewed in the figures) of the window 13 determined by the window opening technique. In other words, since the cut portion 12 is oxidized and sublimated by heating the polysilicon layer, which will be explained next, there is no need to worry about melting of other parts of the wiring as in the case of the prior art. The length can be considerably shortened as long as the protective film opening technique required for this process allows, which contributes to miniaturization of the semiconductor devices manufactured.

The cut portion of the molybdenum wiring 11 is the second
As seen in FIG. 2b, which is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B in FIG.
It is formed on a polysilicon layer (semiconductor layer) 15 with a thickness of 2000 to 4000 Å via an insulating layer such as 4. Molybdenum is 500% in oxygen atmosphere or air
Since it oxidizes and sublimates at temperatures above 50°C, it is necessary to run a current through the heater, or the polysilicon layer that is the resistor, and use the self-heating to heat the cut portion of the molybdenum wiring to 500°C or above. This current value is determined by the voltage and the resistance value of the polysilicon layer that acts as a heater, but as a result of experiments, the voltage was set to 10V.
As a result, it was confirmed that less than 20 milliamps is sufficient compared to the several tens of milliamps required to blow out the polysilicon layer in conventional technology.

D. As mentioned above, if the protective film is left open, molybdenum will be exposed to air and will oxidize and sublimate at temperatures as low as 500°C, so a large current value will be required as in the case of the conventional fuse method. I don't. Furthermore, since it is not possible to cut the molybdenum wiring by melting in the conventional technology,
