Abstract
A critical and detailed characterization of silicide/poly (polycide) fuse explosion in laser redundancy technology for VLSI/ULSI memory application is reported. The much more complicated behavior of polycide link (for example, a TaSi2/poly fuse) explosion as compared with polysilicon link is investigated and clarified by examining its optical and thermal properties. The impact of scaling on laser redundancy technology has also been demonstrated
