請參考圖1及圖2,在所述的實施例中,複數個第一接觸點501可設置在第一隔離層701中,並分別對應設置在該對重度摻雜區307上。複數個第一接觸點501的其中任何一個可具有一寬度W3。第一接觸點501的寬度W3可大於可程式化接觸點401的寬度W1。可程式化接觸點401的較窄寬度W1可造成一電阻率(resistivity),其係大於第一接觸點501的電阻率。在所述的實施例中,如圖1的頂視圖所示,複數個可程式化接觸點401與複數個第一接觸點501可沿著如線段A-A’的方向Y而設置在大約相同的位置。舉例來說,複數個第一接觸點501可由一導電材料所製,例如摻雜多晶矽、金屬、金屬氮化物(metal nitride)或金屬矽化物(metal silicide)。金屬可為鋁、銅、鎢或鈷。

當閘極上導電膜由鎳所製時,閘極上導電層207可由矽化鎳(nickel silicide)所製。矽化鎳可為NiSi或NiSi2

請參考圖15,複數個催化劑單元403可垂直於閘極上導電層207的上表面生長,並藉由一沉積製程的輔助而形成複數個可程式化接觸點401,而該沉積製程係例如化學氣相沉積或一電漿加強(plasma-enhanced)化學氣相沉積。在沉積製程期間,可使用一摻雜物在複數個可程式化接觸點401的原位(in-situ)摻雜,而該摻雜物係例如磷(phosphorus)、砷(arsenic)、銻(antimony)、硼(boron)或銦(indium)。沉積製程的一前驅物(precursor)可為矽烷(silane)或四氯化矽(silicon tetrachloride)。當使用矽烷(silane)當作前驅物時,沉積製程的一溫度可介於370℃到500℃之間。當使用四氯化矽(silicon tetrachloride)當作前驅物時,沉積製程的一溫度可介於800℃到950℃之間。
複數個可程式化接觸點410的生長可被描述成一氣體-液體-固體機制(vapor-liquid-solid mechanism)。在生長製程的一開始,形成多個催化劑-矽液體合金液滴(catalyst-silicon liquid alloy droplet)405。以從氣相的矽之一額外供應,催化劑-矽液體合金液滴405變得過度飽和的矽,而多餘的矽則沉積在固體-液體界面。因此,催化劑-矽液體合金液滴405從閘極上導電層207的上表面上升到複數個可程式化接觸點401的頂部。
請參考圖15,在複數個可程式化接觸點401形成之後,可沉積一第一隔離層701。請參考圖16,可執行一平坦化製程,以提供一大致平坦表面給接下來的處理步驟,而平坦化製程係例如化學機械研磨(chemical mechanical polishing)。該複數個可程式化接觸點401的上表面可齊平於第一隔離層701的一上表面。
請參考圖1、圖2、圖10及圖17,在步驟S19,在所述的實施例中,複數個第一接觸點501可形成在基底101上,且一第一導電層601與複數個第二導電層603可形成在基底101上方。請參考圖17,複數個第一接觸點501可藉由一鑲嵌(damascene)製程而形成在該對重度摻雜區307上,並位在第一隔離層701中。請往回參考圖1及圖2,一第二隔離層703可形成在第一隔離層701上。第一導電層601可形成在複數個可程式化接觸點401上,且複數個第二導電層603可藉由其他鑲嵌製程而分別對應形成在複數個第一接觸點501上。
由於本揭露之半導體元件的設計,複數個可程式化接觸點401可具有大於複數個第一接觸點501的一電阻率。因此當施加例如一可程式化電壓的一較大電壓時,則複數個可程式化接觸點401可被熔斷(blown),且包含複數個可程式化接觸點401的一線路可呈開路(opened)。意即,複數個可程式化接觸點401可提供改變含有複數個可程式化接觸點401之線路狀態的一選擇,並可依據改變半導體元件100A的電子特性(electrical characteristic)。經由調整半導體元件100A的電子特性,即可改善半導體元件100A的品質。
