    摘要: An array of transistor memory cells of a type in which each cell has a transistor, a ground select switch and a sense amplifier coupling switch. A bias voltage line on which there is established a voltage V.sub.BIAS is coupled to each bit line by a bit line transistor whose gate during a read mode is at least about a voltage V.sub.T above V.sub.BIAS. Similarly, the source of each transistor is coupled to the bias voltage line by a source line transistor whose gate is more than about a voltage V.sub.T about V.sub.BIAS. The foregoing arrangement ensures that for every non-selected transistor that transistor's source voltage will be equal to its drain voltage so that all non-selected transistors will be substantially non-conducting.

    摘要: A method of making an array of programmable read only semiconductor memory cells which includes forming an extra row of the memory cells and a corresponding extra row gate coupled thereto. Extra row gate enabling means is coupled to the extra row gate for enabling the extra row gate in response to a control signal KILLT applied thereto. A disabling means is coupled to a first selected row gate other than the extra row gate in order to disable the selected row gate in response to a control signal KILLT applied thereto. A disabling means is coupled to a first selected row gate other than the extra row gate in order to disable the selected row gate in response to the control signal KILLT being applied thereto.An NAND gate may be formed with the extra row gate to allow a second set of signals corresponding to a second selected row of memory cells to enable the second selected row gate. A disabling means is coupled to the second selected row gate other than the extra row gate. In response to a control signal KILLB being applied to both the NAND gate and to the gate of the second selected row, it is possible to use the second selected row to test the first selected row and vice versa.

    摘要: A field programmable gate array (10) having a plurality of logic modules (31-35) has a pair of driver circuits (51-52) connected between each logic module (31) and logic module interconnection tracks or lines (12-16, 20-23) (51-52). Each of the drivers (51-52) has an input connected to receive a common output signal from the associated logic module (31). The output from each of the driver circuits (51-52) is selectively connectable to one of the interconnection tracks by a different respective antifuse (27). The output of each driver circuit (51-52) has a current magnitude less than a level that would damage the antifuse (27) but greater than a predetermined level, so that the track capacitances can be charged as rapidly as possible to increase the propagation time of a signal in the array. In one embodiment (10), the respective logic module interconnection lines or tracks 12 to which the pair of antifuses are connected are different logic module interconnection lines (12, 13). In another embodiment (150), the respective logic module interconnection lines to which the pair of antifuses (185, 186) are connected are the same logic module interconnection line or track (186).

    摘要: The described embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus and method for rapidly programming field programmable devices. A dummy antifuse is provided on the field programmable device for testing prior to actual programming. The current drawn by the device is measured by the programming apparatus until an adequate soaking current is measured while programming the test antifuse. The programming apparatus then records the time required this current level and selects that time as the programming period T.sub.p. This programming time T.sub.p is then used to program the entire device. T.sub.p is now the minimum time required given the process variations of this particular device to adequately program the antifuses which must be blown.

Floating gates (40) are aligned substantially perpendicular to the diffused regions (34, 36 and 38). A control gate (42) defines a first channel region between first and second diffused regions (34 and 36) to define a read transistor (30) and a second channel region between second and third diffused regions (36 and 38) to define a program transistor. The read transistor (30) and program transistor (32) may be individually optimized according to their respective functions. Further, tunnel windows (70) may be provided for Fowler-Nordheim tunneling.
