Abstract

A high writing rate antifuse array includes at least one sub-memory array including two antifuse memory cells arranged side by side between two neighboring bit lines. Each of two antifuse memory cells includes an antifuse transistor. The antifuse transistor has at least one sharp corner overlapping an antifuse gate above a first gate dielectric layer. Each of two antifuse memory cells includes a selection transistor. The second gate dielectric layers of two selection transistors are connected with each other. Thus, two antifuse memory cells are connected with the same select line and the same word line but are respectively connected with different bit lines. In the present invention, a common source contact is used, and two selection transistors share a channel, whereby to stabilize the source structure, increase the channel width of the selection transistors, and raise the writing rate without increase of overall area of the layout.
