CIRCUIT WITH FUSE/ANTI-FUSE TRANSISTOR WITH SELECTIVELY DAMAGED GATE INSULATING LAYER

摘要

A semiconductor integrated circuit is disclosed which includes a main transistor and at least one of a fuse transistor or an anti-fuse transistor (“fuse/anti-fuse transistor”). Each transistor type includes an active region formed in a semiconductor substrate, a gate stack comprising a gate insulation layer and a gate electrode sequentially formed on the active region, and source/drain regions separated across the gate stack, but the gate insulation layer of the fuse/anti-fuse transistor is selectively damaged during fabrication.
