Abstract
The characteristic voltage V(f) of different programmed metal-to-metal antifuses was measured and found to be nearly independent of the elec trode materials. An electrothermal model, used previously to predict p rogrammed silicon-electrode antifuse resistance, was extended to expla in the above phenomenon. The metal-to-metal antifuse resistance vs. th e programming current is governed by the Wiedeman-Franz Law.
