背景技术
反熔丝器件(Anti–fuse,AF)是一次性可编程器件(One Time Program,OTP),广泛用于动态随机存取存储器(Dynamic Random Access Memory,DRAM)等存储器中。反熔丝器件由两个导电层及介于导电层之间的介质层(例如栅氧化层)构成的半导体器件。未编程时,两个导电层被介质层隔开,反熔丝断路;编程时,外加高电压使介质层被高电压击穿,使得两个导电层之间形成电连接,也称为反熔丝器件被熔断。利用反熔丝器件的未熔断、熔断两种状态可以分别代表逻辑值“0”和逻辑值“1”。目前,在对反熔丝器件进行熔断处理时,可能造成相关的编程导线熔断,进而导致同一行的其他反熔丝器件失效。

具体实施方式
下面将参照附图更详细地描述本公开公开的示例性实施方式。虽然附图中显示了本公开的示例性实施方式,然而应当理解,可以以各种形式实现本公开,而不应被这里阐述的具体实施方式所限制。相反,提供这些实施方式是为了能够更透彻地理解本公开,并且能够将本公开公开的范围完整的传达给本领域的技术人员。
在下文的描述中,给出了大量的细节以便提供对本公开更为彻底的理解。然而,对于本领域技术人员而言显而易见的是,本公开可以无需一个或多个这些细节而得以实施。在其它的例子中,为了避免与本公开发生混淆,对于本领域公知的一些技术特征未进行描述;即,这里不描述实际实施例的全部特征,不详细描述公知的功能和结构。
在附图中,为了清楚,层、区、元件的尺寸以及其相对尺寸可能被夸大。自始至终相同附图标记表示相同的元件。
应当明白,当元件或层被称为“在……上”、“与……相邻”、“连接到”或“耦合到”其它元件或层时,其可以直接地在其它元件或层上、与之相邻、连接或耦合到其它元件或层,或者可以存在居间的元件或层。相反,当元件被称为“直接在……上”、“与……直接相邻”、“直接连接到”或“直接耦合到”其它元件或层时,则不存在居间的元件或层。应当明白,尽管可使用术语第一、第二、第三等描述各种元件、部件、区、层和/或部分,这些元件、部件、区、层和/或部分不应当被这些术语限制。这些术语仅仅用来区分一个元件、部件、区、层或部分与另一个元件、部件、区、层或部分。因此,在不脱离本公开教导之下,下面讨论的第一元件、部件、区、层或部分可表示为第二元件、部件、区、层或部分。而当讨论的第二元件、部件、区、层或部分时,并不表明本公开必然存在第一 元件、部件、区、层或部分。

参见图1,其示出了一种反熔丝阵列的结构示意图。如图1所示,在反熔丝阵列中,每2个反熔丝单元(如虚线框所示)共用一有源区,位于同一列的反熔丝单元均连接到同一条位线BL,位于同一行的反熔丝单元共用同一字线XG和同一编程导线FG。以图1为例,第1个反熔丝单元对应字线Top XG和编程导线Top FG,第2个反熔丝单元对应字线Bottom XG和编程导线Bottom FG。有源区和第一栅极(图1未示出)形成第1个反熔丝单元中的编程器件(Top AF cell),且第一栅极连接至Top FG,有源区和第二栅极(图1未示出)形成第1个反熔丝单元中的选择器件(Top XADD),且第二栅极连接至Top XG,有源区和第三栅极(图1未示出)形成第2个反熔丝单元中的选择器件(Bottom XADD),且第三栅极连接到Bottom XG,有源区和第四栅极形成第2个反熔丝单元中的编程器件(Bottom AF cell),且第四栅极连接至Bottom FG,2个反熔丝单元中的选择晶体管共源极,且位线BL引出该源极。另外,图2示出了更多数量的反熔丝单元的排列方式。如图1和图2所示,每2条编程导线是相邻的,每2条字线是相邻的。
请结合图1和图2,在对反熔丝单元进行熔断(或称为参数写入)时,需要对相应的编程导线FG施加高压(约5.5~6伏),同时相应的位线BL置0伏,并开启相应的选择器件(XADD),以此使得编程器件AF cell的薄栅氧化物在高压下被击穿,从而编程器件AF cell的电阻显著下降,实现参数写入。然而,如图1和图2所示,当编程器件AF cell的栅氧化物被击穿时,在编程导线FG上将流经较大的电流,因编程导线FG本身具有一定的电阻,可能由于焦耳热产生极高的温度将编程导线FG完全熔断。
值得注意的是,在电路架构中,所有处于同一行的编程器件(AF cell)共享同一条编程导线FG,并且从连接关系来看,越靠近编程导线FG的接触结构(Contact)的位置电流越大,越容易断开,这将导致一整行的编程器件(AF cell)完全失效。但是,如果过度限制写入时的能量,则可能导致部分编程器件(AF cell)无法被充分写入。
基于此,本公开实施例提供了一种反熔丝阵列,能够降低编程导线在编程器件的栅氧化物被击穿的过程中的电流密度,避免编程导线熔断,改善编程器件的失效问题。
在本公开的一实施例中,参见图3,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种反熔丝阵列10的局部结构示意图。如图3所示,该反熔丝阵列10包括:
呈阵列排布的多个第一反熔丝单元11(图3仅以1个为例进行示出),第一反熔丝单元11包括第一选择器件111和第一编程器件112,第一选择器件111 的第一端和第一编程器件112的第一端连接;
多个位线BL(图3仅以1个为例进行示出),位线BL沿第二方向延伸,位于同一列的第一选择器件111的第二端均连接至同一位线;
多个第一字线XG1(图3仅以1个为例进行示出),第一字线XG1沿第一方向延伸,位于同一行的第一选择器件111的控制端均连接至同一第一字线XG1;
多个第一编程导线FG1(图3仅以1个为例进行示出),第一编程导线FG1沿第一方向延伸,位于同一行的第一编程器件112的控制端均连接至同一第一编程导线FG1;第一编程导线FG1具有第一辅助结构12,在向第一编程导线FG1施加电压的情况下,电流从第一编程导线FG1和第一辅助结构12形成的第一路径中流过,且第一路径在垂直于第一方向的平面上的截面积(下称横截面积)大于第一编程导线FG1在垂直于第一方向的平面上的截面积(下称横截面积);其中,第一方向和第二方向相互垂直。
需要说明的是,如图3所示,第一选择器件111和第一编程器件112共享同一有源区100。有源区100位于半导体衬底中,半导体衬底可以是硅衬底,且半导体衬底也可以包括其它半导体元素,例如:锗(Ge),或包括半导体化合物,例如:碳化硅(SiC)、砷化镓(GaAs)、磷化镓(GaP)、磷化铟(InP)、砷化铟(InAs)或锑化铟(InSb),或包括其它半导体合金,例如:硅锗(SiGe)、磷化砷镓(GaAsP)、砷化铟铝(AlInAs)、砷化镓铝(AlGaAs)、砷化铟镓(GaInAs)、磷化铟镓(GaInP)、及/或磷砷化铟镓(GaInAsP)或其组合。
在这里,有源区100中存在多个掺杂区,位于第一字线XG1正下方的有源区100的掺杂类型与位于第一字线XG1两侧的有源区100的掺杂类型不同,从而形成第一选择器件111;位于第一编程导线FG1正下方的有源区100的掺杂类型与位于第一编程导线FG1一侧的有源区100的掺杂类型不同,从而形成第一编程器件112。这样,通过对第一字线XG1施加电压可以开启第一选择器件111,然后在第一编程导线FG1上施加5~6伏的强电压,同时位线BL置0伏,能够对第一编程器件112进行击穿,以实现逻辑1的写入。
如前述,在对第一编程器件112进行击穿时,第一编程导线FG1上将流经巨大的电流,可能由于焦耳热导致温度上升,从而熔断第一编程导线FG1。在本公开实施例中,第一编程导线FG1具有第一辅助结构12,在对第一编程器件112进行击穿时,电流从第一路径(第一编程导线FG1和第一辅助结构12共同构成的)中流过,且第一路径的横截面积大于第一编程导线FG1的横截面积。这样,第一编程导线FG1上的电流密度减小,焦耳热降低,温度上升量减少,避免第一编程导线FG1熔断,能够改善反熔丝阵列的失效问题。
在图3中,行方向是指第一方向,列方向是指第二方向。
在另一些实施例中,第一方向和第二方向也可以不垂直,例如第一方向和第二方向之间的夹角可以为80度、60度等等,此时第一路径的横截面积仍然大于第一编程导线的横截面积。但是第一路径的横截面积是指与第一路径的延伸方向垂直的截面积,第一编程导线FG1的横截面积指与第一编程导线FG1的延伸方向垂直的截面积。
在一些实施例中,参见图4,其示出了本公开实施例提供的另一种反熔丝阵列10的局部结构示意图。如图4所示,反熔丝阵列10还包括:
呈阵列分布的多个第二反熔丝单元21,第二反熔丝单元21包括第二选择器件211和第二编程器件212,第二选择器件211的第一端和第二编程器件212的第一端连接;第一选择器件111、第一编程器件112、第二编程器件212和第二选择器件211沿第二方向依次循环排列,位于同一列的第二选择器件211的第二端以及第一选择器件111的第二端均连接至同一位线;
多个第二字线XG2,第二字线XG2沿第一方向延伸,位于同一行的第二选择器件211的控制端均连接至同一第二字线XG2;
多个第二编程导线FG2,第二编程导线FG2沿第一方向延伸,位于同一行的第二编程器件212的控制端均连接至同一第二编程导线FG2;第二编程导线FG2具有第二辅助结构22,在向第二编程导线FG2施加电压的情况下,电流从第二编程导线FG2和第二辅助结构22形成的第二路径中流过,且第二路径在垂直于第一方向的平面上的截面积大于第二编程导线FG2在垂直于第一方向的平面上的截面积。
需要说明的是,第一方向上,多个第一反熔丝单元11位于同一行,多个第二反熔丝单元21位于同一行;在第二方向上,一个第一反熔丝单元11和一个第二反熔丝单元21呈现镜像对称,从而构成反熔丝阵列10的重复单元。这样,反熔丝阵列的排列方式更加规整,有利于工艺制作。在其他实施例中,第一反熔丝单元11和第二反熔丝单元21可以沿其他方向(例如与目前的第二方向的夹角为30度、45度或60度等)形成一列,多个第一反熔丝单元11也可以沿其他方向(例如与目前的第一方向的夹角为30度、45度或60度等)形成一行,提高反熔丝阵列的集成密度。
类似的,在第二反熔丝单元21中,第二编程导线FG2具有第二辅助结构22,在对第二编程器件212进行参数写入时,电流从第二路径(第二编程导线FG2和第一辅助结构12共同构成的)中流过,且第二路径的横截面积大于第二编程导线FG2的横截面积。这样,第二编程导线FG2上的电流密度减小,焦耳热降低,温度上升量减少,避免第二编程导线FG2熔断,改善失效问题。
在本公开实施例中,第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2无本质区别,若后文中直接采用编程导线FG(或编程导线)则可以是指第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2中的任意一个;第一字线XG1和第二字线XG2同样无本质区别。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,沿第二方向,第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2相邻,第一字线XG1和第二字线XG2相邻。
应理解,图4所示出的结构将在第二方向上循环排列,因此图4中的第一字线XG1实际上与另一第二字线XG2(图4未示出)相邻,因此图4中的第二字线XG2实际上与另一第一字线XG1(图4未示出)相邻。
需要说明的是,第一辅助结构12和第二辅助结构22的材料、位置、工艺和形式均具有多种可能,且第一辅助结构12和第二辅助结构22的材料(或者位置、工艺和形式)可以相同也可以不同。以下给出几种示例但不构成相关限 制。
在一些实施例中,第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2之间存在电通路;第一辅助结构12是指与第一编程导线FG1相邻的第二编程导线FG2;第二辅助结构22是指与第二编程导线FG2相邻的第一编程导线FG1。
这样,对于相邻的2个编程导线来说,一编程导线作为另一编程导线的辅助结构,无需增加额外的物理结构,降低成本。此时,在向一编程导线施加强电压的情况下,电流实际上从该编程导线和相邻的编程导线共同构成的电路径中流过,降低电流密度和焦耳热量,从而避免编程导线失效。
在后续图5A~图10中,第一方向的定义和第二方向的定义与图3/图4是相同的,不再示出坐标示意。
在一些实施例中,如图5A所示,第一辅助结构具体包括连接结构120和相邻的第二编程导线FG2,第二辅助结构具体包括该连接结构120和相邻的第一编程导线FG1,连接结构120连接相邻的第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2,且第一路径和第二路径重合。
在一种具体的实施例中,如图5A或5B所示,第一编程导线FG1、相邻的第二编程导线FG2以及两者之间的连接结构各自独立设置;第一编程导线FG1接收第一反熔丝单元11的第一编程控制信号,第二编程导线FG2接收第二反熔丝单元21的第二编程控制信号。
这样,第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2在物理上是独立设置的,但是可视为一个整体电结构。
需要说明的是,连接结构120的材料具有多种可能,即连接结构120至少包括导电材料,且导电材料可以为以下的一种或几种:钨、铜、钴、钌、铑等。
需要说明的是,连接结构120的位置具有多种可能。例如,连接结构120、第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2位于同一水平面,且连接结构120位于相邻的第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2之间的区域;又例如,连接结构120、第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2位于同一水平面,且连接结构120覆盖第一编程导线FG1的部分表面、第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2之间的区域、第二编程导线FG2的部分表面;再例如,连接结构可能沿第三方向穿越其他平面,例如采用类似跳线的原理实现第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2的连接。
在本公开实施例中,水平面是指第一方向和第二方向所在的平面。
还需要说明的是,连接结构120的形状具有多种可能。例如,如图5A所示,连接结构120为矩形,平铺于第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2之间;又例如,连接结构120为圆形,平铺于第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2之间;连接结构120的另一侧至少覆盖第二编程导线FG2的部分;再例如,如图5B所示,连接结构120包括多个子结构,每一子结构均在第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2之间形成一条电通路。
在另一种具体的实施例中,如图6所示,第一编程导线FG1、相邻的第二编程导线FG2以及两者之间的连接结构合并设置为一整体导线FG;其中,整体导线接收编程控制信号;第一反熔丝单元11与相邻的第二反熔丝单元21共 用编程控制信号。
需要说明的是,对于图6和图4可以看出,整体导线FG沿第二方向的宽度明显大于第一编程导线FG1(或第二编程导线FG2)沿第二方向的宽度,从而能够降低编程过程中的电流密度,改善编程导线失效的问题。
参见图7,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种反熔丝阵列10的结构示意图。如图7所示,每2行反熔丝单元(1行第一反熔丝单元11和1行第二反熔丝单元21)共用一整体导线FG,不仅能够简化制备工艺,而且减少了编程控制信号的数量。
在另一些实施例中,相邻的2个字线也可以合并为一条字线,进一步简化制备工艺同。时减少相关控制信号的数量。
这样,对于第一编程导线FG1来说,通过与相邻的第二编程导线FG2共同形成第一路径以增加横截面积,减小电流密度,改善失效问题;对于第二编程导线FG2来说,通过与相邻的第一编程导线FG1共同形成第二路径以增加横截面积,减小电流密度,改善失效问题。
在另一些实施例中,第一辅助结构12可以与第二编程导线FG2无关,第二辅助结构22可以与第一编程导线FG1无关。此时,如图8A所示,第一反熔丝单元11还包括第一导电线121,第二反熔丝单元21还包括第二导电线221;第一导电线121与第一编程导线FG1之间存在电通路,第二导电线221与第二编程导线FG2之间存在电通路;第一辅助结构12具体为第一导电线121,第二辅助结构22具体为第二导电线221。
这样,通过额外设置第一导电线121实现第一辅助结构12,通过额外设置第二导电线221实现第二辅助结构22,从而第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2是相互独立的,避免信号耦合干扰,控制效果更好。
需要说明的是,第一导电线121和第二导电线221的设置形式具有多种可能。例如,如图8A所示,第一导电线121与第一编程导线FG1位于同一平面,第二导电线221与第二编程导线FG2位于同一平面;又例如,第一导电线121与第一编程导线FG1并非位于同一平面,具体的,第一编程导线FG1可以全包围环绕在第一编程导线FG1表面,或者第一编程导线FG1可以半包围环绕在第一编程导线FG1表面。
需要说明的是,第一导电线121和第二导电线221均由导电材料构成。该导电材料至少可以是以下材料的一种或几种:钨、铜、钴、钌、铑等。在这里,第一导电线121可以与第二导电线221的材料相同,或者第一导电线121可以与第二导电线221的材料不同。
另外,第一导电线121和第二导电线221的形状和尺寸可以为多种,图8A仅是其中的一种。另外,第一导电线121(或第二导电线221)的形状还可以为:圆形、梯形、非闭合图形、弧形或者包含多个子图形的组合形状。第一导电线121和第二导电线221的形状可以相同或不同。
在一些实施例中,第一导电线121的熔点大于第一编程导线FG1的熔点,第二导电线221的熔点大于第二编程导线FG2的熔点,能够更好的缓解编程导线的击穿问题。
在一些实施例中,如图8B所示,第一辅助结构12具体包括第一连接结构122和第一导电线121;第一连接结构连接第一编程导线FG1和第一导电线121;第二辅助结构22具体包括第二连接结构222和第二导电线221;第二连接结构222连接第二编程导线FG2和第二导电线221;第一路径和第二路径不重合。
需要说明的是,第一编程导线FG1和第一导电线121的位置具有多种可能,第二编程导线FG2和第二导电线221的位置具有多种可能。
例如,第一编程导线FG1、第一导电线121、第一连接结构122位于同一平面,第二编程导线FG2、第二导电线221和第二连接结构222位于同一平面。
又例如,参见图8C,且图8C为第一反熔丝单元和第二反熔丝单元的侧面视图,第一编程导线FG1和第一导电线121位于不同的水平面上,第一连接结构122穿过第一编程导线FG1和第一导电线121之间的水平面;第二编程导线FG2和第二导电线221位于不同的水平面上,第二连接结构222穿过第二编程导线FG2和第二导电线221之间的水平面。在图8C中,相邻的两个编程器件之间为指浅槽隔离结构(shallow trench isolation,STI),第一编程导线FG1和有源区100之间的结构、第二编程导线FG2和有源区100之间的结构、第一字线XG1和有源区100之间的结构、第二字线XG2和有源区100之间的结构均为栅极结构。
在一种具体的实施例中,如图9所示,第一导电线121沿第三方向直接覆盖第一编程导线FG1的表面,且第一导电线121和第一连接结构合并设置为一整体;第二导电线221沿第三方向直接覆盖第二编程导线FG2的表面,且第二导电线221和第二连接结构222合并设置为一整体。
这样,如图9所示,第一导电线121和第二导电线221不会导致反熔丝阵列的版图面积增大,而且第一导电线121与第一编程导线FG1的接触面积较大,第二导电线221与第二编程导线FG2的接触面积较大,相当于第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2的表面各自覆盖了一导电层,制备工艺简单。
在另一种具体的实施例中,如图8B所示,第一导电线121和第一编程导线FG1之间无直接接触,第一导电线121、第一连接结构122和第一编程导线FG1均独立设置;第二导电线221和第二编程导线FG2之间无直接接触,第二导电线221、第二连接结构222和第二编程导线FG2均独立设置。也就是说,第一导电线121必须经由第一连接结构122连接到第一编程导线FG1,从而形成前述的第一路径;第二导电线221必须经由第二连接结构222连接到第二编程导线FG2,从而形成前述的第二路径。
这样,通过额外设置第一导电线121实现第一辅助结构12,通过额外设置第二导电线221实现第二辅助结构22,同样可以增加编程导线的横截面积,减小电流密度,改善失效问题。
结合图7和图10可以看出,第一反熔丝单元11和相邻的第二反熔丝单元21共用一有源区,第一反熔丝单元11还包括第一栅极和第二栅极,第二反熔丝单元21还包括第三栅极和第四栅极;其中,
第一栅极、第二栅极、第三栅极和第四栅极均位于有源区,且第一栅极、第二栅极、第三栅极、第四栅极沿第二方向排列;
其中,第一栅极和有源区形成第一编程器件112,第二栅极和有源区形成第一选择器件111,第三栅极和有源区形成第二选择器件211,第四栅极和有源区形成第二编程器件212。
特别的,在图4、图5A、图5B、图6、图8A、图8B和图9所示出的单元仅为反熔丝阵列中的部分重复结构,第一反熔丝单元实际上与其上方的第二反熔丝单元(上述图中没有示出)共用有源区100,第二反熔丝单元实际上与其下方的第一反熔丝单元(上述图中没有示出)共用有源区。
需要说明的是,有源区中的掺杂类型、掺杂浓度、掺杂深度可以不同,具体需要根据实际应用场景确定。另外,第一栅极~第四栅极均可通过常规的栅极形成工艺得到。
需要说明的是,第一栅极形成第一编程器件112的控制端(G端),第二栅极形成第一选择器件111的控制端(G端),第三栅极形成第二选择器件211的控制端(G端),第四栅极形成第二编程器件212的控制端(G端);
位于第一栅极和第二栅极之间的有源区用于形成第一编程器件112的第一端和第一选择器件111的第一端,位于第二栅极和第三栅极之间的有源区用于形成第一选择器件111的第二端和第二选择器件211的第二端,位于第三栅极和第四栅极之间的有源区用于形成第二选择器件211的第一端和第二编程器件212的第一端。
需要说明的是,第一端和第二端可以是漏极或源极中相应的一个。
综上所述,对于图2所示的反熔丝阵列,在对编程器件AF cell进行击穿时,需要在相应的编程导线FG端加高压,相应的位线BL置0伏,以击穿编程器件AF cell的栅氧化物。然而,当编程器件AF cell的栅氧化物被击穿时,在相应的编程导线FG上将流经巨大的电流,由于编程导线FG本身具有一定的电阻,因此由于焦耳热导致极高的温度将编程导线FG完全熔断。如图2的电路架构中,所有处于一行的编程器件AF cell共享同一条编程导线FG,并且从连接关系来看,越靠近编程导线的接触结构(FG contact)的位置电流越大,越容易断开,这将导致一整行的编程器件AF cell完全失效。如果过度限制写入时的能量,则可能导致部分编程器件AF cell无法被充分写入。对于以上问题,本公开提供的反熔丝阵列中额外提供了第一辅助结构和第二辅助结构,第一辅助结构和第二辅助结构的存在相当于扩展了编程导线FG的横截面积,从而电流密度减小,避免编程导线FG熔断。
在一种解决方案中,第一辅助结构是指与第一编程导线相邻的第二编程导线,第二辅助结构是指与第二编程导线相邻的第一编程导线。示例性的,如图7所示,将相邻两行的编程导线(原FG1和原FG2)合并为一整体的编程导线FG,这样,编程导线FG的宽度明显增加,一方面,在对某一行的编程器件AF cell进行写入时,流经编程导线FG的电流不变,但是电流密度降低,因此局域温度并不会显著上升;另一方面,由于编程导线FG的横截面积增加,因此编程导线FG被完全熔断的风险极大地降低了;又一方面,在图7所示的反熔丝阵列中,减少了一半的编程导线FG的控制端口,并且整个反熔丝阵列的布局并不会使功耗增加,同时简化了高压控制电路及其时序,提高了系统的可靠性。
在另一种解决方案中,第一辅助结构是指额外设置的第一导电层,第二辅助结构是指额外设置的第二导电线。示例性的,如图10所示,在所有的编程导线FG(包括第一编程导线FG1和第二编程导线FG2)并联一层金属层(即前述的第一导电线和第二导电线),金属层具体可以为钨。这样,一方面,可使流经下层的编程导线FG(具体为多晶硅材料)的电流密度明显变低。因此在对某一行的编程器件AF cell进行写入时,多晶硅的局域温度并不会显著上升,因此编程导线FG被完全熔断的风险能够明显降低。另一方面,由于新增了一层金属钨并联在编程导线FG上,即使某处编程导线FG由于局域温度过高被完全熔断,但是由于钨的熔点高,并不会完全熔断,避免了由于某处编程导线FG多晶硅熔断使得远离编程导线的接触结构(FG contact)的编程器件AF cell完全失效的风险,提高了系统的可靠性。
本公开实施例提供了一种反熔丝阵列,该反熔丝阵列包括:呈阵列排布的多个第一反熔丝单元,第一反熔丝单元包括第一选择器件和第一编程器件,第一选择器件的第一端和第一编程器件的第一端连接;多个位线,位线沿第二方向延伸,位于同一列的第一选择器件的第二端均连接至同一位线;多个第一字线,第一字线沿第一方向延伸,位于同一行的第一选择器件的控制端均连接至同一第一字线;多个第一编程导线,第一编程导线沿第一方向延伸,位于同一行的第一编程器件的控制端均连接至同一第一编程导线;第一编程导线具有第一辅助结构。这样,本公开实施例提供的反熔丝阵列能够降低编程导线上的电流密度,避免编程导线熔断。
在本公开的另一实施例中,参见图11,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种半导体结构40的示意图。如图11所示,该半导体结构40包括前述的反熔丝阵列10。
需要说明的是,反熔丝阵列10包括多个第一反熔丝单元、多个位线、多个第一字线、多个第一编程导线、多个第二反熔丝单元、多个第二字线、多个第二编程导线,第一编程导线具有第一辅助结构,在向第一编程导线施加电压的情况下,电流从第一编程导线和第一辅助结构形成的第一路径中流过,且第一路径在垂直于第一方向的平面上的截面积大于第一编程导线在垂直于第一方向的平面上的截面积;第二编程导线具有第二辅助结构,在向第二编程导线施加电压的情况下,电流从第二编程导线和第二辅助结构形成的第二路径中流过,且第二路径在垂直于第一方向的平面上的截面积大于第二编程导线在垂直于第一方向的平面上的截面积。
这样,本公开实施例提供了一种半导体结构,借助于第一辅助结构和第二辅助结构,能够降低编程导线在编程器件的栅氧化物被击穿的过程中的电流密度,避免编程导线熔断,改善编程器件的失效问题。
在本公开的又一实施例中,参见图12,其示出了本公开实施例提供的一种存储器50的结构示意图。如图12所示,该存储器50包括前述的半导体结构40。例如,该存储器50包括但不限于动态随机存取存储器(DRAM)。
需要说明的是,半导体结构40包括前述的反熔丝阵列10,反熔丝阵列10包括多个第一反熔丝单元、多个位线、多个第一字线、多个第一编程导线、多 个第二反熔丝单元、多个第二字线、多个第二编程导线,第一编程导线具有第一辅助结构,在向第一编程导线施加电压的情况下,电流从第一编程导线和第一辅助结构形成的第一路径中流过,且第一路径在垂直于第一方向的平面上的截面积大于第一编程导线在垂直于第一方向的平面上的截面积;第二编程导线具有第二辅助结构,在向第二编程导线施加电压的情况下,电流从第二编程导线和第二辅助结构形成的第二路径中流过,且第二路径在垂直于第一方向的平面上的截面积大于第二编程导线在垂直于第一方向的平面上的截面积。
这样,本公开实施例提供了一种半导体结构,借助于第一辅助结构和第二辅助结构,能够降低编程导线在编程器件的栅氧化物被击穿的过程中的电流密度,避免编程导线熔断,改善编程器件的失效问题。
