First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of making an antifuse comprising:
- forming a first silicide layer over a substrate;
growing an insulating antifuse layer on a first surface of the first silicide layer by converting a portion of the first silicide layer to the insulating antifuse layer; and
forming a first semiconductor layer on the insulating antifuse layer.
