Abstract:
1. An electronic device including a nonvolatile memory cell, wherein the nonvolatile memory cell comprises: a substrate; an access transistor having source/drain regions at least partly within the substrate, a gate dielectric layer overlying the substrate, and a gate electrode overlying the gate dielectric layer; a read transistor having source/drain regions at least partly within the substrate, a gate dielectric layer overlying the substrate, and a gate electrode overlying the gate dielectric layer; and an antifuse component including a first electrode lying at least partly within the substrate, an antifuse dielectric layer overlying the substrate, and a second electrode overlying the antifuse dielectric layer, wherein the second electrode of the antifuse component is coupled to one of the source/drain regions of the access transistor and to the gate electrode of the read transistor.
