    摘要: In some aspects of the present disclosure, a bandgap reference circuit includes a first current mirror and a first resistor coupled to the first current mirror to provide a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) voltage. The circuit includes a second current mirror and a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) device coupled to the second current mirror to provide a complementary to the absolute temperature (CTAT) voltage. The circuit includes an output node to provide a bandgap voltage that is a weighted sum of the PTAT voltage and the CTAT voltage. The circuit includes a second resistor coupled between the output node and a first node, wherein the first node is coupled between the first resistor and the first current mirror. The circuit includes a third resistor coupled between the output node and a second node, wherein the second node is coupled between the BJT device and the second current mirror.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an anti-fuse device includes forming an anti-fuse structure on a substrate, forming a first transistor at a first position away from the anti-fuse device in a first direction, and forming a second transistor at a second position away from the anti-fuse device in a second direction opposite the first direction. Forming the anti-fuse structure includes forming first and second S/D structures in an active area, the first transistor includes the first S/D structure, and the second transistor includes the second S/D structure. The method includes constructing a first electrical connection between gate structures of the first and second transistors and a second electrical connection between a third S/D structure of the first transistor and a fourth S/D structure of the second transistor.

    摘要: A fuse structure comprises a first conductive layer on a first level. The first conductive layer comprises a fuse line extending in a first direction. The fuse line has a first end portion, a second end portion opposite the first end portion, and a fuse link portion connecting the first end portion and the second end portion. The first conductive layer also comprises lines parallel to the fuse line, the lines being aligned in the first direction and being separated from one another by a first distance measured in the first direction. The fuse structure also comprises a second conductive layer on a second level different from the first level and coupled with the first conductive layer. The second conductive layer has parallel lines extending in a second direction, the parallel lines being separated by a second distance measured in a third direction orthogonal to the second direction.
