Abstract

Various improvements in the fabrication of an antifuse having silicon-amorphous silicon-metal layer structure are presented. Included are improved deposition techniques for the amorphous silicon layer. The improvements include steps for the fabrication of such an antifuse without the use of platinum and the resulting antifuse and contact structures.
