    摘要: The invention includes an error correcting logic system that allows critical circuits to be hardened with only one redundant unit and without loss of circuit performance. The system provides an interconnecting gate that suppresses a fault in one of at least two redundant dynamic logic gates that feed to the interconnecting gate. The system is applicable to dynamic or static logic systems. The system prevents propagation of a fault, and addresses not only soft errors, but noise-induced errors. Also, there is provided a design structure embodied in a machine readable medium used in a design process, and which includes such error correcting logic system.

    摘要: A semiconductor device (102) having a plurality of diodes (100) with alterable electrical conductivity by a source of energy (30), e.g., a laser, external to the semiconductor device. The diodes are formed and energy is applied to alter the electrical conductivity at least 10%, and preferably by several orders of magnitude. Certain embodiments (20, 40 and 50) are formed so as to function as anti-fuses, while another embodiment (60) functions as a fuse. The diodes may be formed as planar diodes (20, 40, 50 and 60) or as lateral diodes (70).

    摘要: A circuit for enabling a controlled transistor in response to an ablated fusible link. The fusible link is configured so that no d.c. potential resides on the link once it has been ablated. A source of alternating voltage is capacitively coupled to the fusible link and maintains the fusible link from reconnection due to dendrite formation once it is ablated. An a.c. to d.c. voltage converter is used to signal the change in condition of the fusible link, thus, actuating a control transistor of a redundant circuit element in a replacement operation.

    摘要: A detector circuit and method for detecting a silicon well voltage or current to indicate an alpha particle or cosmic ray strike of the silicon well. One significant application for the detection circuit of the present invention is for the redundancy repair latches that are used in SRAMs. The redundancy repair latches are normally written once at power-up to record failed latch data and are not normally written again. If one of the latches changes states due to an SER (Soft Error Rate-such as a strike by an alpha particle or cosmic ray) event, the repair data in the redundancy latches of the SRAM would now be incorrectly mapped. The detector circuit and method monitors the latches for the occurrence of an SER event, and responsive thereto issues a reload of the repair data to the redundancy repair latches. A first embodiment of the detector circuit differentially detects the floating voltages of first and second silicon wells during periods of non-operation of the circuits fabricated in the first and second silicon wells. In a second embodiment, a detector circuit monitors the background voltage level of a single silicon well over first and second consecutive periods of time. A second application for the detection circuit is for traditional logic circuits.
