    摘要: A method (fabricating a fusible structure) includes forming a metal line that extends in a first direction, the forming a metal line including: configuring the mask such that the metal line has a first portion that is between a second portion and a third portion; and using an optical proximity correction technique with a mask so that the first portion has a first thickness that is thinner than a second thickness of each of the second portion and the third portion; and forming a first dummy structure proximal to the metal line and aligned with the first portion relative to the first direction.

    摘要: A memory device includes a bit line, a word line, a memory cell including a capacitor and a transistor, and a controller. The transistor has a gate terminal coupled to the word line, a first terminal, and a second terminal. The capacitor has a first end coupled to the first terminal of the transistor, a second end coupled to the bit line, and an insulating material between the first end and the second end. The controller, in a programming operation, applies a turn-ON voltage via the word line to the gate terminal of the transistor to turn ON the transistor, and applies a program voltage via the bit line to the second end of the capacitor to apply, while the transistor is turned ON, a predetermined break-down voltage or higher between the first end and the second end of the capacitor to break down the insulating material of the capacitor.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are related to a memory array. In one aspect, the memory array includes a set of resistive storage circuits including a first subset of resistive storage circuits connected between a first local line and a second local line in parallel. The first local line and the second local line may extend along a first direction. In one aspect, for each resistive storage circuit of the first subset of resistive storage circuits, current injected at a first common entry point of the first local line exits through a first common exit point of the second local line, such that each resistive storage circuit of the first subset of resistive storage circuits may have same or substantial equal resistive loading.
