Definitions
- the present invention is generally directed to the memory devices.
- the present invention relates to a method of programming a one-time programmable array implemented with suicided poly-silicon fuses.
- Non- volatile memory includes ROM (read-only memory), EEPROM (electrically erasable ROM), and NVRAM (non-volatile RAM). Such memory retains its stored information even after the power supply is removed.
- ROM read-only memory
- BIOS built-in operating system
- Semiconductor ROM is typically an array of memory cells that may be programmed by the user. Depending upon the type, the memory array may be programmed a multiple of times or is one-time-only programmable (OTP).
- OTP ROM is an array of memory cells having fuse or anti-fuse fusible links. Fuse links are opened (i.e., by "blowing" open the fuses) by the application of a programming current. The opened fuse link has an impedance much greater than that of one not programmed.
- an anti-fuse when programmed has an impedance much less than that of one not programmed.
- An anti-fuse link is closed by initiating a deliberate electromigration of a conductive material bridging the gap between the anti-fuse link's two terminals. Consequently, in either fuse link type, programmed cells are in a logic state opposite that of non-programmed cells.
- the programming voltage and current is about 30 volts and 100mA, respectively. This is significantly higher than the normal power supply voltage, V dd which usually ranges from 1.5v to 5.5v in MOS circuits. Having such a programming voltage/current requirement poses significant challenges to designing, testing, and using the OTP array. For example, a tester and software may have special requirements to generate and test for the high voltage programming. The design itself may require charge pump schemes to step up the power supply voltage to provide programming signals. These workarounds increase the cost of design and test.
- a one-time programmable memory has a fuse element coupled to a large switching transistor.
- the large switching transistor is integral to the programming of the fuse element.
- a programmable memory cell comprises a fuse element having a first terminal and a second terminal and a switching transistor having a drain, source, and a gate.
- the drain of the switching transistor is couple to the second terminal of the fuse element, it surrounds the fuse element.
- the gate surrounds the drain which in turn, is surrounded by the source.
- the gate is laid out in a serpentine pattern. The physical layout builds an electrical equivalent of a large switching transistor.
- an integrated circuit comprises at least one row line and at least one column along first and second directions, respectively.
- a semiconductor array of at least one programmable memory cell is arranged in rows and columns. Each programmable memory is accessible in response to levels established on selected ones of the row and column lines.
- the programmable memory cell comprises a fuse element having a first terminal and a second terminal and a switching transistor having a drain, source, and a gate. The drain of the switching transistor surrounds the fuse element; the gate surrounds the drain; and the source surrounds the gate. Coupled to the first terminal of the fuse element is the row line. The second terminal of the fuse element is coupled to the drain of the switching transistor. Coupled to the gate of the switching transistor is the column line.
- the switching transistor may be either N-MOS or P-MOS or BiCMOS.
- the fuse element may be either a fuse or an anti-fuse.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a fuse cell as applied to the present invention
- FIG. 2A depicts in layout the circuit of FIG. 1 having the poly-silicon, first metal, and contact points of the present invention
- FIG. 2B depicts the layout of FIG. 2A showing the additional second and third metal layers
- FIG. 2C depicts FIG. 2B having the inter-level contacts (vias) showing the fuse cell and its relation to placement in an array;
- FIG. 3 depicts the architecture of the fuse array with Read and Write Circuits according to an embodiment of the present invention
- the present invention has been found to be useful and advantageous in connection with providing more reliable OTP (one time programmable structure) by using a salicided (self-aligned suicided) poly-silicon fuse structure array fabricated by a sub-micron CMOS process.
- the OTP salicided poly-silicon fuse array is based on a building cell that includes a salicided poly-silicon fuse and a MOS switch.
- the two terminal fuse link has one terminal connected to an x-axis (row node) and the other terminal connected to the drain of a wide N-MOS device (switch).
- the N-MOS device's other two terminals, the source and gate are connected to ground and y-axis (column), respectively.
- the cells are grouped together to form an array of fuses.
- An example of a suitable OTP suicided poly-silicon fuse link may be found in U.S. Patent No. 5,854,510 of Sur et al. titled, "Low Power Programmable Fuse Structures.”
- An example of suitable OTP anti-fuse link may be found in U.S. Patent No. 5,899,707 of Sanchez et al. titled, "Method for Making Doped Anti-fuse Structures.”
- another example of a suitable OTP anti-fuse may also be found in U.S. Patent No. 6,016,001 of Sanchez et al.
- the fuse cell 100 has a fuse link 130 coupled to the drain 130a of the N-MOS transistor 140 and to row 120 at 120a.
- the gate of the N-MOS transistor 140 is coupled to the column 110 at 110a.
- the source of the N-MOS transistor is coupled to ground at 140c.
- Multiples of the fuse cell 100 are grouped to form an array.
- Each row of the array is connected to a wide P-MOS switch whose gate is coupled to the row decoder and whose source is coupled to a single write current source.
- a write is accomplished by selecting one row and one column that creates a path for the write current to blow a single fuse.
- Each row of the array is connected to a small P-MOS device that mirrors a small read current.
- the read current is switched on during read mode with an N-MOS switch.
- one column of cells is selected and the read current biases each fuse in the column.
- Each of the resulting voltage drops across each fuse is then compared to a single reference voltage generated by a reference fuse.
- the reference fuse has a known impedance, a multiple of the impedance of an unblown fuse. In one example embodiment according to the present invention, the reference fuse has twice the impedance of an unblown fuse.
- An example method of programming a suicided poly-silicon fuse may be found in U.S. Patent No. 5,976,943 of Manley et al, titled, "Method for Bi-Layer Programmable Resistor," incorporated by reference, herein. Additionally, an example method of programming anti-fuse structures may be found in U.S. Patent No. 5,753,540 of Wu et al, titled, "Apparatus and Method for Programming Anti-fuse Structures,” also incorporated by reference, herein.
- the fuse structure has a cell design in which the fuse link is surrounded by a switching element.
- the switching element is a wide N-MOS transistor.
- Other switching elements may be used such as a wide P-MOS transistor or BiCMOS-based transistor.
- the specific application and process technology determine the suitable device chosen.
- the circuit of FIG. 1 has a layout 300 of the fuse 320b having a first terminal 320a and a second terminal 320c.
- the fuse is surrounded by a wide (in the range of about 80 to about 150um) N-MOS switching element that is made by using a serpentine structure 330b for the poly-silicon gate.
- the example circuit is built on a three-layer metal technology. However, the invention may be implemented in higher-order metal technology.
- the wide N- MOS device is needed to carry a relatively large write current.
- the first terminal 320a of fuse 320b is connected to a row line.
- the second terminal 320c of the fuse 320b is coupled to the drain 330a of the wide N-MOS device.
- the gate 330b is connected in the array to a column at 310a and 310b.
- the multiple connections protect against voltage-drops.
- the source 330c (shown in FIG. 2A as covered with a first metal layer) of the N-MOS transistor surrounds the serpentine gate 330b; the serpentine gate 330b, in turn surrounds the drain 330a.
- Contacts (not illustrated) in active device areas enable bonding of the first metal layer to the drain 330a and the source 330c. In subsequent metal layers, the interconnects between them are referred to as "vias.”
- FIG. 2B Multiple metal layers connect the fuse 130 and wide N- MOS device 140 building the circuit as depicted in FIG. 1.
- a first metal layer 330c' connects the source 330c. This makes it easy to abut cells together in an array fashion since all N-MOS sources are connected to ground (Nss).
- a horizontal second metal layer 320a' connects the first fuse terminal 320a to the row line of the array.
- the second fuse terminal 320c connects to the drain 330a of transistor 300.
- the gate 330b is connected to a third metal layer at the column connection 310d.
- the gate 330b through a contact follows a path to a first metal 310b (inter-layer interconnect as shown in FIG. 2C).
- the path continues to second metal 310b' through a via. From second metal 310b' to a third metal 31 Od through a second via, the path is complete to column connection 31 Od.
- the column 3 lOd that connects the gate 330b
- row320a' that connects the first fuse terminal 320a
- the source 330c of the N-MOS switching transistor connects to ground (Vss) through a third metal layer 330c'.
- the fuse cell element's three metal layers are connected at the appropriate locations to construct the circuit of FIG. 1. Inter-level connections, contacts and vias provide electrical connection, where desired, for different metal layers.
- one or more vias 320a" connects the first terminal 320a of fuse 320b to second metal 320a.
- the first terminal 320a of fuse 320b has a first metal contacting the poly silicon. (Not illustrated).
