摘要: A method and structure implementing a reprogrammable read only memory (ROM) include a pair of fuse elements having different lengths and selectively arranged to define an initial bit state. A group of a plurality of the pairs of fuse elements defines a predetermined data pattern of ones and zeros, providing initial states stored in the reprogrammable ROM. The reprogrammable ROM is reprogrammed when needed by selectively blowing a selected fuse or selected fuses to change the data pattern stored in the ROM.

摘要: A reversible fuse structure in an integrated circuit is obtained through the implementation of a fuse cell having a short thin line of phase change materials in contact with via and line structures capable of passing current through the line of phase change material (fuse cell). The current is passed through the fuse cell in order to change the material from a less resistive material to a more resistive material through heating the phase change material in the crystalline state to the melting point then quickly quenching the material into the amorphous state. The reversible programming is achieved by passing a lower current through the fuse cell to convert the high resistivity amorphous material to a lower resistivity crystalline material. Appropriate sense-circuitry is integrated to read the information stored in the fuses, wherein said sense circuitry is used to enable or disable circuitry.

摘要: A secure device for electronic voting employs a write-once vote-recording medium. The medium has an initial writing mode in which data can be written but not read and a subsequent reading mode whereby data can be read but writing is permanently disabled. Once switched from the writing mode to the reading mode, it cannot be switched back. A hardware mechanism provides successful write confirmation The medium can be installed like a cartridge into a vote-recording device. The voting device provides encryption/authorization that combines polling parameters with voter information to produce a “fuse string”. For each vote, a fuse string is written to the array. The poll is “closed” by switching the medium to “read” mode, preventing further modification or tampering. To read out the results of the poll, an auditor enters “password” information to decode/decrypt the recorded information.

摘要: A transistor (such as a MOSFET) is operated in its breakdown region, as opposed to its saturation region, to program an electric fuse. With the programming transistor operated in the breakdown region, a much higher current is enabled than the associated saturation current for the same size transistor. Thus, a smaller transistor can be used for programming the fuse. Cooperative with transistor operation in the breakdown region, a dynamic current compliance device is used to limit the peak current to prevent damage than can result from excessive current flowing through the transistor. The current compliance device can be external to the integrated fuse and programming transistor circuit.
