摘要
A field-programmable, stackable memory cell using 0.15-mum technology is demonstrated. Vertical polycrystalline silicon diodes are stacked on top of one another, with tungsten (with TiN adhesion film) interconnect wires. An SiO2 antifuse film separates the top of each diode from the TiN-W films. The cell is programmed when sufficient biasing voltage is applied to break down the antifuse, connecting the diode to tungsten. The cell is unprogrammed when the antifuse is intact. Cell fabrication and performance are described.
