For code storage, the most common NVM technologies used today are ROM and external flash/EEPROM solutions; however, in the 90nm and below, antifuse one-time programmable (OTP) technology is starting to gain in popularity. Antifuse has unique advantages of using a standard CMOS process, being highly secure, field programmable, and having indefinite data retention. These traits drive down overall cost of the SOC product. As the process technology scales, it will favor antifuse since the OTP die area will scale, resulting in shorter programming time.
