TL;DR: In this article, a programmable low impedance interconnect diode element is described, having a lower electrode formed of a semiconductor material of a first conductivity type covered by an insulating dielectric layer.

TL;DR: An electrically programmable low impedance circuit element is disclosed having capacitor-like structure with very low leakage before programming and a low resistance after programming as mentioned in this paper, which includes a lower conductive electrode which may be formed of a metal or semiconductor material.

TL;DR: In this article, an electrically-programmable low-impedance anti-fuse with capacitance-like structure with very low leakage before programming and a low resistance after programming is described.
