  • Abstract
    This paper presents an improvement of electrical programmable fuse with dielectric film. By inserting a dielectric film as cap layer combined with self-align silicide block (SAB) process, the program current margin has been extended. This macro has lower program voltage at 2.3V for 8.5μs and can be successfully read out with proper sensing amplifier design.
