INTEGRATED CIRCUIT INCLUDING EFUSE CELL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18156978 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT INCLUDING EFUSE CELL
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an integrated circuit that includes a transistor and two fuse elements. The transistor is formed in a conductive layer, while the fuse elements are formed in a separate conductive layer. One fuse element is connected between the transistor and a first data line, and the other fuse element is connected between the transistor and a second data line. Both fuse elements are located on the same side of the transistor.
- The integrated circuit includes a transistor, two fuse elements, and conductive layers.
- The transistor is formed in a first conductive layer.
- The first fuse element is formed in a second conductive layer and connected to the transistor and a first data line.
- The second fuse element is formed in the second conductive layer and connected to the transistor and a second data line.
- Both fuse elements are located on the same side of the transistor.
Potential Applications:
- This integrated circuit design can be used in various electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and computers.
- It can be applied in memory devices, processors, and other integrated circuits that require fuse elements for programming or configuration purposes.
Problems Solved:
- The integrated circuit design provides a compact and efficient way to incorporate fuse elements into a circuit.
- The placement of the fuse elements on the same side of the transistor simplifies the circuit layout and reduces the overall size of the integrated circuit.
Benefits:
- The compact design of the integrated circuit saves space and allows for more components to be integrated into a smaller area.
- The efficient placement of the fuse elements reduces the complexity of the circuit layout and improves manufacturing efficiency.
- The use of fuse elements enables programming or configuration of the integrated circuit, enhancing its versatility and functionality.
Original Abstract Submitted
An integrated circuit includes a transistor, a first fuse element and a second fuse element. The transistor is formed in a first conductive layer. The first fuse element is formed in a second conductive layer and coupled between the transistor and a first data line. The second fuse element is formed in the second conductive layer and coupled between the transistor and a second data line. The first fuse element and the second fuse element are disposed at a same side of the transistor.
