    摘要: A fuse circuit includes a fuse configured for programming a configuration of an integrated circuit device and a resistive element having a known resistance value operably coupled in parallel with the fuse. The fuse and the resistive element form a parallel circuit configured for quickly sensing a state of the fuse in relation to the known value of the resistive element. In one embodiment, the device may further include a sense circuit operably coupled to the parallel circuit combination of the fuse and the resistive element. The sense circuit is configured to sense one of a FUSED state and an UNFUSED state of the fuse, for example, based on a comparison between a reference resistance and a FUSED resistance of the fuse when coupled to the known resistance. The fuse may comprise a programmable fuse, and the resistive element may comprise a MOS transistor.

    摘要: A memory device using tunneling field effect transistors (TFET) and buried bit lines is presented. The memory device includes a matrix containing rows and columns of storage cells. Each storage cell contains at least one cell transistor, which in turn contains first doped regions and second doped regions, one of which is a source and the other a drain. The memory device includes word lines, each of which is connected to storage cells of one row and bit lines, each of which is connected to storage cells of one column. The first doped regions are of a different doping type than the second doped regions.
