Abstract

An anti-fuse memory cell is provided. The anti-fuse memory cell includes a programmable transistor and a selection transistor. The programmable transistor includes a gate structure, a first doped region and a lightly doped region. The first doped region is divided into a first portion doped region, a second portion doped region and a third portion doped region. The first and second portion doped regions are respectively a source and a drain of the programmable transistor, and the third portion doped region is disposed between the first and second portion doped regions. The lightly doped region is distributed around a channel region of the programmable transistor, and adjacent to the first, second and third portion doped regions. The selection transistor includes a gate structure and a second doped region, and connected in series to the programmable transistor through the first portion doped region.
