摘要: A semiconductor device is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, and a heater element on the semiconductor substrate, the heater element configured to generate heat in response to a current flowing therethrough. The semiconductor device also includes a conductor material having a programmable conductivity, and an insulator layer between the heater element and the conductor material, where the conductor material is configured to be programmed by applying one or more voltage differences to one or more of the heater element and the conductor material, and where a capacitance between the conductor material and the heater element is configured to be controlled by the voltage differences such that the capacitance is lower while the conductor material is being programmed than while the conductor material is not being programmed.
