    • An IC wafer containing thin oxide is fabricated to include at least two differentially-sized plate areas that may be upper plates of capacitors, or gates of associated MOS transistors. Before testing, the thin gate oxide underlying these plate areas is intentionally stressed by applying a stress current between these plates and the substrate. The stress current magnitude is scaled to the plate area such that each plate sees a substantially constant current density. Because weak oxide defects occur somewhat uniformly throughout the thin oxide, a larger plate or gate will overlie more weak oxide defects than will a plate or gate. If wafer test leakage current between the larger plate or gate and substrate exceeds leakage current between the smaller plate or gate and substrate, weak oxide is indicated because the defect is area dependent. By contrast, charge-induced damage is substantially independent of the areas of the plates or gates, due to the scaling of the stress-inducing currents. Thus, if test leakage current on the wafer is substantially the same for the large and small sized plates or gates, charge-damaged oxide is indicated because the damage is not area dependent. If desired, defects in the thin (gate) oxide may be identified by examining the characteristics of the test MOS devices. The gate-like plates (and if present associated MOS devices) are sufficiently small to be fabricated within scribe lines of the wafer to be tested.
    • 包含薄氧化物的IC晶片被制造成包括至少两个不同尺寸的板区域,其可以是电容器的上板,或者相关联的MOS晶体管的栅极。 在测试之前,通过在这些板和衬底之间施加应力电流来有意地强调这些板区域下面的薄栅极氧化物。 应力电流大小被缩放到板区域,使得每个板看到基本上恒定的电流密度。 由于弱的氧化物缺陷在整个薄氧化物中有一些均匀的发生,所以与板或栅极相比,较大的板或栅极将覆盖更多的弱氧化物缺陷。 如果较大的板或栅极和衬底之间的晶片测试漏电流超过较小的板或栅极和衬底之间的漏电流,则表示弱氧化物,因为缺陷是面积依赖的。 相反,由于应力诱导电流的缩放,电荷诱导的损伤基本上与板或栅极的区域无关。 因此,如果大型和小型板或栅极上的晶片上的测试漏电流基本相同,则表示电荷损坏的氧化物,因为损坏不是区域依赖的。 如果需要,可以通过检查测试MOS器件的特性来识别薄(栅极)氧化物中的缺陷。 栅极板(以及如果存在相关联的MOS器件)足够小以在要测试的晶片的划线内制造。

    • An anti-fuse structure formed in accordance with the present invention includes a conductive layer base. A layer of anti-fuse material overlies the conductive base layer. On top of the anti-fuse layer is an insulating layer, in which a via hole is formed to the anti-fuse layer. The lateral dimension of the via hole is less than about 0.8 microns. Provided in the via hole is a conductive non-Al plug including a conductive barrier material such as TiN or TiW to contact the anti-fuse material and overlie the insulating layer. Tungsten is effectively used as the non-Al plug. An electrically conductive layer is formed over the plug and is separaged from the anti-fuse layer by at least one-half the depth of the via hole. The structure is then programmable by application of a programming voltage and readable by application of a sensing voltage, which is lower than the programming voltage.
