Abstract

See full text

A programmable logic array (PLA) includes two direct-write EEPROM arrays, and PLA logic circuitry, such as feedback, drivers and input and output circuitry. One EEPROM array acts as an AND array and the other acts as n OR array. The PLA can be used for a memory function or a PLA function. In one aspect, the EEPROM arrays are placed on a first chip and the PLA logic circuitry a second chip. The first and second chips are stacked face-to-face, and force-responsive self-interlocking microconnectors are used to physically and electrically connect the separate chips. The separate chips are fabricated concurrently to reduce turn-around time.
