Abstract
A vertical field effect transistor (FET) includes a vertical semiconductor channel having a first end that contacts an upper surface of a substrate and an opposing second end that contacts a source/drain region. An electrically conductive gate encapsulates the vertical semiconductor channel. The vertical FET further includes a split-channel antifuse device between the source/drain region and the electrically conductive gate. The split-channel antifuse device includes a gate dielectric having a thickness that varies between the source/drain region and the electrically conductive gate.
