Abstract
Programmable circuit blocks and programmable interconnection blocks are utilized to effectively modify the functionality of a section of the IC. The use of a fixed ion beam machine or similar device is unnecessary, allowing functional modifications of the IC by way of electrically programming the device. As a result, the IC designer is not limited in the number of ICs that may be modified, which facilitates faster testing of IC design changes. Also, an IC may be modified multiple times by simply reprogramming the device.
