ABSTRACT:
Antifuses and gate arrays with antifuses are disclosed that have high thermal stability, reduced size, reduced leakage current, reduced capacitance in the unprogrammed state, improved manufacturing yield, and more controllable electrical characteristics. Some antifuses include spacers in the antifuse via. In some antifuses, the programmable material is planar, and the top or the bottom electrode is formed in the antifuse via. In some gate arrays, the antifuses are formed above the dielectric separating two levels of routing channels rather than below that dielectric.
