BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a semiconductor manufacturing technology, and more particularly, to a semiconductor memory device and a method of manufacturing the same for preventing a crack of a fuse due to stress of a stacked structure adjacent to a fuse box during a fuse box forming step.
In the manufacture of a semiconductor device, especially a memory device, if any one of a number of fine cells is defective, the semiconductor device does not function as a memory and thus is treated as a defective product. However, even though only some cells in the memory have failed, discarding the entire device as a defective product is an inefficient process in terms of yield.
Accordingly, the yield improvement is achieved by replacing a defective cell by using a preliminary memory cell (hereinafter, referred to as a "redundancy cell") previously installed in the memory device.
In a repair operation using a redundancy cell, a spare row and a spare column are pre-installed in each cell array, and defective defective memory cells are spared in row / column units. It proceeds in the manner of laziness to memory cells.
In detail, after the wafer processing is completed, a program that selects a defective memory cell through a test and replaces the corresponding address with the address signal of the spare cell is performed in the internal circuit. Therefore, when an address signal corresponding to a bad line is input, the selection is changed to a spare line instead.
Among the above-described program methods, the most widely used method is a method of burning off a wire with a laser beam. The wiring broken by the laser irradiation is called a fuse, and the broken part and the area | region surrounding it are called a fuse box.

Then, another insulating film is formed over the entire surface, and then a second contact for contacting the second metal wire to the lower metal wire is formed in another insulating film outside the fuse box region. Then, by forming the upper metal wiring connected to the second contact, a guide ring is formed to completely surround the outside of the fuse box region.
Here, the first contact and the second contact are formed at the first metal contact and the second metal contact process of the cell region, respectively, and the first metal wire and the second metal wire are respectively metal-1 and metal-2 of the cell region. It can form at the time of a process.
Then, another insulating film and a SWP (Stable Surface Wave Plasma) film are formed on the entire surface, and the SWP film and the insulating films are etched in the upper portion of the fuse box region by a SWP process to form a fuse box. At this time, the etching process of the SWP film and the insulating film is performed such that the insulating
Although the technical spirit of the present invention has been described in detail in the preferred embodiments, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are for the purpose of description and not of limitation. In addition, those skilled in the art will understand that various embodiments are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects are obtained.
By forming a fuse on a substrate on which a protrusion is formed at the center of the fuse box area, the fuse at the edge of the fuse box area is positioned lower than the fuse at the center of the fuse box area, which is a portion cut by laser irradiation. The remaining insulating film becomes thicker at the edge portion than at the fuse box center portion.
Therefore, even when stress due to the stacked structure adjacent to the fuse box is concentrated at the edge of the fuse box during the fuse box forming process, the impact is alleviated by the thick insulating layer at the edge, thereby reducing the occurrence of cracks. The cracks do not proceed to the fuse but are stopped in the insulating film, thereby preventing unwanted fuse cutting, thereby improving the quality and yield of the semiconductor memory device.
