PURPOSE: To improve the effect of a breake current in a semiconductor integrated circuit device having an antifuse, which is formed making a dielectric film interpose between metal electrodes.
CONSTITUTION: In the case where an FPGA (a Field Programmable Gate Array) having an antifuse 6 formed by providing an upper electrode consisting of a TiW film on a lower electrode, which is formed on a semiconductor substrate and consists of a TiW film, via a dielectrode film 6c consisting of an amorphous silicon film is programmed, the antifuse 6 is used so that the FPGA is programmed by applying a DC voltage to the antifuse 6 and thereafter, an AC voltage is applied to the antifuse 6 for improving the mechanical strength of the continuity part of the antifuse to make an AC current flow through the antifuse.
