Abstract

The present invention provides an OTP non-volatile fuse storage unit comprising an accumulation type MOS transistor varactor, the gate of which is connected to a programming voltage, and the source and drain of which are connected together to form a first connection point; and a selection transistor , the gate of which is connected to the control signal, the source is connected to the first connection point, and the drain is grounded; wherein, when the selection transistor is turned on under the control of the control signal, a programming voltage greater than the threshold voltage is applied to The gate of the accumulator MOS transistor varactor is maintained for a predetermined period of time to change at least one physical characteristic of the accumulator MOS transistor varactor, so that the logic level output by the first connection point is changed. The OTP non-volatile fuse storage unit of the present invention can realize OTP through the fuse principle, and does not need additional masks, can meet the requirements of different manufacturing processes of CMOS technology, and provide diversified OTP solutions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a one-time programmable non-volatile fuse storage unit. Background technique [0002] OTP (One Time Programmable) one-time programmable memory can only be programmed once and cannot be erased by electricity. It can be applied to program code memory, serial configuration memory, System-on-Chip (SOC for short), etc. , for ID identification, correction, etc. [0003] In the prior art, the OTP is mostly implemented based on the logic architecture of an antifuse, for example, ONO (oxide-silicide-oxide) or MOM (metal-oxide-metal) is used to implement the antifuse. The anti-fuse has a very high resistance before programming, about several hundred megohms, and is broken down by high voltage during programming, and the resistance is reduced to a thousand ohm level or even lower, so as to realize the OTP function. However, both the ONO and MOM structures require an additional mask...
