基於上述,在本所發明所提出的一次可程式非揮發性記憶體中,由於插塞與導體層的上表面的重疊部分的重疊面積小於插塞的上視面積,所以在進行記憶體的寫入操作時,電流會集中在插塞與導體層的上表面的重疊部分,因此使用較小的電流即可將熔絲結構燒斷,進而可有效地降低燒斷熔絲結構所需要的電流。
為讓本發明的上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉實施例,並配合所附圖式作詳細說明如下。

在此實施例中,開關元件102是以金氧半場效電晶體為例來進行說明,但本發明並不以此為限,只要具有開關功能的電子元件均屬於本發明所要保護的範圍。開關元件102包括閘極106、摻雜區108、摻雜區110與閘介電層112。閘極106設置於基底100上。閘極106的材料例如是摻雜多晶矽。摻雜區108與摻雜區110分別設置於閘極106兩側的基底100中,分別可作為源極與汲極使用。摻雜區108可藉由位於介電層107中的插塞109與導線111而連接至外部電源或外部電路。介電層107的材料例如是氧化矽。插塞109的材料例如是鎢、銅、鋁、金、銀或其合金。導線111的材料例如是銅、鋁或鎢。閘介電層112設置於閘極106與基底100之間。閘介電層112的材料例如是氧化矽。此外,開關元件102更可包括間隙壁114。間隙壁114設置於閘極106的側壁上。間隙壁114的材料例如是氧化矽、氮化矽、介電層或複合介電層。
熔絲結構104包括導體層116、間隙壁118與插塞120。導體層116耦接至開關元件102的端子。在此實施例中,導體層116是以具有兩端寬且中央窄的啞鈴狀為例來進行說明,但本發明並不以此為限。在其他實施例中,導體層116亦可為具有均勻的寬度的矩形。導體層116與閘極106例如是源自於同一層半導體材料層。導體層116的材料例如是摻雜多晶矽。

另一方面,在其他實施例中,重疊部分R1的導體層116的寬度W1例如是比符合導體層116設計規則的最小寬度小10%。或者,插塞120的寬度W2例如是比符合插塞120設計規則的最小寬度小10%。換言之,導體層116的寬度W1與插塞120的寬度W2可設為小於設計規則的最小寬度。因此,更進一步地降低燒斷熔絲結構104所需要的電流。
另外,一次可程式非揮發性記憶體10更可包括隔離結構132。隔離結構132設置於基底100中,且導體層116例如是位於隔離結構132上方的介電層113上。隔離結構132例如是淺溝渠隔離結構。隔離結構132的材料例如是氧化矽。介電層113與閘介電層112例如是源自於同一層介電材料層。介電層113的材料例如是氧化矽。
基於上述實施例可知,在一次可程式非揮發性記憶體10中,將插塞120與導體層116的上表面的重疊部分R1的重疊面積設為小於插塞120的上視面積,因此使用較小的電流即可將熔絲結構104燒斷,可有效地降低燒斷熔絲結構104所需要的電流。

重疊部分R2的導體層214的寬度W3例如是小於插塞218的寬度W4。插塞218例如是接觸窗插塞或介層窗插塞。插塞218的材料例如是鎢、銅、鋁、金、銀其合金。

另一方面,在其他實施例中,重疊部分R2的導體層214的寬度W3例如是比符合導體層214設計規則的最小寬度小10%。或者,插塞218的寬度W4例如是比符合插塞218設計規則的最小寬度小10%。換言之,導體層214的寬度W3與插塞218的寬度W4可設為小於設計規則的最小寬度。因此,更進一步地降低燒斷熔絲結構204所需要的電流。
另外,一次可程式非揮發性記憶體20更可包括隔離結構222。隔離結構222設置於基底200中,且導體層214位於隔離結構222上。隔離結構222例如是淺溝渠隔離結構。隔離結構222的材料例如是氧化矽。
