Abstract

See full text

In a microcircuit device such as a memory chip, where a bank of state devices such as fuses and anti-fuses determine the enabling and disabling of redundant circuitry, a scheme for blowing one or more state devices by applying a programming voltage through a switching circuit comprising thin film transistors (TFTs) which are not damaged by the device blowing, programming voltage. The TFTs can be activated by a low voltage enable signal provided by a state device designator logic module.
