[0067] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be comprehensive and complete and fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.
[0068] In the related art, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, anti-fuse elements in semiconductor structures generally have capacitor type and gate oxide layer type. Capacitor type anti-fuse is vertical in form and saves design space. However, the process is limited by the film stacking height, and gate oxide layer anti-fuse is generally used now.
[0069] However, in order to achieve better results, a sufficiently large planar gate oxide layer area is required, which occupies a large chip area, resulting in a reduced integration density on the semiconductor chip, and further increasing the chip cost.
[0070] At the same time, in the related art, the gate oxide layer 2 is far away from the second electrical contact terminal set on the gate block 3 and the first electrical contact terminal set on the active block 1, which easily causes the gate oxide layer 2 to have a poor effect in accepting the breakdown voltage and is more likely to cause the active block 1 to fail. Therefore, the breakdown voltage often needs to be reapplied.
[0071] The present invention first provides a semiconductor structure, referring to Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the semiconductor structure may include an active block 1, a first electrical contact terminal 5, a gate oxide layer 2 and a gate block 3; the first electrical contact terminal 5 is arranged on the active block 1; the gate oxide layer 2 covers multiple surfaces of the active block 1; a first groove is provided on the gate block 3, and the active block 1 covered with the gate oxide layer 2 is inserted into the first groove.
[0072] The semiconductor structure and preparation method of the present invention are as follows: an active block 1 is provided with a first electrical contact terminal 5; a gate oxide layer 2 covers multiple surfaces of the active block 1, and a first groove is provided on the gate block 3; the active block 1 covered with the gate oxide layer 2 is inserted into the first groove. Compared with the prior art, the gate block 3 is shaped, and the gate oxide layer 2 covers multiple surfaces of the active block 1. An anti-fuse element in the form of the gate oxide layer 2 is formed using a limited design space. At this time, the gate block 3 and the active block 1 form a multilayer capacitor, so there is a multiplying effect on the gate oxide layer reaching a breakdown voltage. This phenomenon can be used to reduce the applied voltage, and thus reduce the occupied space of the boosting element in the semiconductor structure, thereby reducing the occupied area of the integrated circuit using the semiconductor structure, and further, increasing the number of functions of the chip using the integrated circuit.
[0073] The semiconductor structure of the present invention is described below through four exemplary embodiments.
[0074] Example implementation method 1:
[0075] Reference Figure 3As shown, the active block 1 may include a strip block 11, and the number of the strip blocks 11 may be one or more. When the number of the strip blocks 11 is more than one, the multiple strip blocks 11 are arranged in parallel, and the strip blocks 11 may be provided with a first electrical contact terminal 5, and the number of the first electrical contact terminals 5 may be one or more. The multiple strip blocks 11 are electrically connected, and the connection method may be through a wire connection, or the first electrical contact terminal 5 may be used to connect two adjacent strip blocks 11 to each other, thereby connecting all the strip blocks 11. The shape of the strip block 11 may be a rectangular parallelepiped, or may be an arc-shaped strip, a wavy strip, etc., which is not specifically limited in this exemplary embodiment.

The number of first grooves on the gate block 3 can also be the same as the number of strip blocks 11, so that each strip block 11 can become an anti-fuse element.

The gate oxide layer 2 may cover all surfaces covered by the strip block 11, or may only cover part of the surface of the strip block 11. The gate block 3 may also cover both the first connection block 12 and the strip block 11, and only a design area for the first electrical contact terminal 5 needs to be reserved, which is not specifically limited in this exemplary embodiment.
[0082] The gate block 3 can be a rectangular structure, and a first groove is set on the gate block 3. The active block 1 covered with the gate oxide layer 2 is inserted into the first groove, and the gate oxide layer 2 is in contact with the inner surface of the gate block 3. The shape of the first groove can be adapted to the shape of the active block 1 covered with the gate oxide layer 2. The number of first grooves on the gate block 3 can also be the same as the number of strip blocks 11, so that each strip block 11 can become an anti-fuse element.

The gate block 3 may also cover the first connection block 12 and the second connection block 13, and only reserve the design area of the first electrical contact terminal 5, which is not specifically limited in this exemplary embodiment.
[0087] The gate block 3 can be a rectangular structure, and a first groove is arranged on the gate block 3. The active block 1 covered with the gate oxide layer 2 is inserted into the first groove, and the gate oxide layer 2 is in contact with the inner surface of the gate block 3. The shape of the first groove can be adapted to the shape of the active block 1 covered with the gate oxide layer 2. The number of the first grooves can be two, or three, four or more; the number of the first grooves on the gate block 3 can also be the same as the number of the strip blocks 11, so that each strip block 11 can become an anti-fuse element.
[0088] Reference Fig.10 As shown, when the number of the strip blocks 11 is three, the number of the first grooves can be three, ensuring that all active blocks 1 covered with the gate oxide layer 2 can be inserted into the first grooves of the gate block 3 .
[0089] Example Implementation 4:
[0090] Reference Fig.11 As shown, the active block 1 may include a first annular block 14 and a second annular block 15. The surface of the first annular block 14 is covered with the gate oxide layer 2, but a design area of the first electrical contact terminal 5 is reserved, and the first annular block 14 covered with the gate oxide layer 2 is inserted into the first groove. The cross section of the first annular block 14 may be a rectangular ring, or a circular ring or other ring shape, which is not specifically limited in this exemplary embodiment.

[0093] Reference Fig.11 As shown, the semiconductor structure may further include a second electrical contact terminal 6, which may be disposed on the gate block 3. The second electrical contact terminal 6 may be in the shape of an elongated strip. The shape of the second electrical contact terminal 6 may be cylindrical or prismatic, such as a triangular prism, a quadrangular prism, etc. The number of the second electrical contact terminals 6 may be one or more.
[0094] Compared with the related art, the distances between the gate oxide layer 2 and the first electrical contact terminal 5 and the second electrical contact terminal 6 are shortened, thereby improving the effect of the gate oxide layer 2 in accepting the breakdown voltage and reducing the failure risk of the active block 1 .
[0095] The semiconductor structure may also include a substrate, on which the active block 1 and the insulating layer 4 are both disposed. The material of the substrate may be the same as that of the active block 1, but the doping type is different. For example, if the active block 1 is N-type silicon, the substrate is P-type silicon.

For example, the first layer is an N-type silicon substrate, and the second layer is a P-type silicon substrate.
[0107] Then, refer to Fig.14 As shown, a mask layer 9 is formed around the photoresist 7 , on the upper surface of the photoresist 7 and on the substrate 8 .

[0109] Finally, refer to Fig.17 as well as Fig.18As shown, the photoresist 7 is removed; the photoresist 7 can be removed by wet stripping or dry stripping, or by a combination of the two. The method for removing the photoresist 7 is not particularly limited herein; only the mask layer 9 around it is left to form an annular mask layer 9, and the substrate 8 except for the area directly below the annular mask layer 9 is etched by an etching process; until the above-mentioned first layer is penetrated, that is, the above-mentioned N-type silicon substrate is penetrated, and the etched N-type silicon substrate forms an annular active block 1, two strip blocks 11 are arranged oppositely, the first connecting block 12 and the second connecting block 13 are also arranged oppositely, and the strip blocks 11 are vertically connected to the first connecting block 12 and the second connecting block 13; the P-type silicon substrate of the second layer is used as a substrate; in another exemplary embodiment, a substrate is first provided, and the material of the substrate can be silicon. A silicon substrate with a doping type different from that of the substrate is formed on the substrate by epitaxial technology. For example, the substrate is N-type silicon, and the substrate 8 is P-type silicon; at this time, when etching, it is necessary to penetrate the silicon substrate and not etch the substrate.
[0110] In this example embodiment, when forming the photoresist 7, multiple photoresists 7 of the same size and arranged in parallel can be formed at the same time, so that multiple strip blocks 11 can be formed at the same time, and the multiple strip blocks 11 are vertically connected to the first connecting block 12 and the second connecting block 13, and the multiple strip blocks 11 are between the first connecting block 12 and the second connecting block 13.
[0111] In a fourth exemplary embodiment, referring to Fig.11 As shown, the active block 1 may include a first annular block 14 and a second annular block 15, wherein the first annular block 14 has a surface covered with the gate oxide layer 2, and the first annular block 14 covered with the gate oxide layer 2 is inserted into the first groove.

[0112] The second annular block 15 is sleeved on the first annular block 14, and its surface is covered with a gate oxide layer 2. The second annular block 15 covered with the gate oxide layer 2 is inserted into the first groove; there is a gap between the first annular block 14 and the second annular block 15, a partial area of the gate block 3 is inserted into the gap, and the first annular block 14 is electrically connected to the second annular block 15.
[0113] In this exemplary embodiment, first, referring to Fig.19 As shown, a ring-shaped photoresist 7 can be formed on a substrate 8, and the cross section of the ring-shaped photoresist 7 can be a rectangular ring. The substrate can be a silicon substrate. Before forming the photoresist 7, different doping treatments are first performed on it so that the silicon substrate is divided into two layers with different doping types. For example, the first layer is an N-type silicon substrate, and the second layer is a P-type silicon substrate.
[0114] Then, a mask layer 9 is formed around the annular photoresist 7 , on the upper surface of the annular photoresist 7 and on the substrate 8 .
[0115] Afterwards, refer to Fig. 20 As shown, the mask layer 9 on the substrate 8 and the mask layer 9 on the photoresist 7 are removed by etching or other processes, leaving the mask layer 9 with a certain preset width around the photoresist 7.
[0116] Finally, refer to Fig.21 As shown, the photoresist 7 is removed; the photoresist 7 can be removed by wet stripping or dry stripping, or by a combination of the two. The method for removing the photoresist 7 is not particularly limited here; only the mask layer 9 around this periphery is left to form two annular mask layers 9, and the substrate 8 except for the area directly below the annular mask layer 9 is etched by an etching process; until the above-mentioned first layer is penetrated, that is, after the above-mentioned N-type silicon substrate is etched, the remaining N-type silicon substrate forms two annular active blocks 1, a first annular block 14 and a second annular block 15; the P-type silicon substrate of the second layer is used as a substrate; in another exemplary embodiment, a substrate is first provided, and the material of the substrate can be silicon. A silicon substrate with a different doping type from the substrate is formed on the substrate by epitaxial technology. For example, the substrate is N-type silicon, and the substrate 8 is P-type silicon; at this time, when etching is performed, the silicon substrate needs to be penetrated, and the substrate is not etched. The above detailed description of the specific formation process of the active block 1 in the two exemplary embodiments is given in detail. The specific manufacturing process of the active block 1 in other embodiments can refer to the above method, which will not be repeated here.
