Anti-fuse structure and method for manufacturing the same
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a fin extending between first and second pads on a substrate, removing a central portion of the fin to create an opening between a first part of the fin extending from the first pad and a second part of the fin extending from the second pad, growing first and second epitaxial layers in the opening on a side of respective first and second parts of the fin, stopping the growth of the first and second epitaxial layers prior to merging, forming a silicide layer on the first and second pads, first and second parts of the fin and first and second epitaxial layers, wherein there is a gap between portions of the silicide layer on the first and second epitaxial layers in the opening, and depositing a dielectric layer on the silicide layer, filling in the gap.
