Abstract

See full text

A method for integrating transistors and anti-fuses on a device includes epitaxially growing a semiconductor layer on a substrate and masking a transistor region of the semiconductor layer. An oxide is formed on an anti-fuse region of the semiconductor layer. A semiconductor material is grown over the semiconductor layer to form an epitaxial semiconductor layer in the transistor region and a defective semiconductor layer in the anti-fuse region. Transistor devices in the transistor region and anti-fuse devices in the anti-fuse region are formed wherein the defective semiconductor layer is programmable by an applied field.
