A process of forming an anti-fuse. First, an inter-metal dielectric layer, in which a funnel-shaped via is formed, is formed on a substrate. Next, a first conductive layer is formed over the substrate and filled into the funnel-shaped via. Subsequently, by, for example, a chemical mechanical polishing process, the first conductive layer outside the funnel-shaped via is removed to form a conductive plug. Afterward, an oxide chemical mechanical polishing process is performed to smooth the surface of the conductive plug. Next, a dielectric layer is formed on the top side of the conductive plug, and then a top plate is formed on the dielectric layer. Subsequently, an insulating layer is formed over the substrate, wherein the insulating layer is provided with a via and the via exposes the top plate. Finally, a second conductive layer is formed over the substrate and filled into the via.
