摘要: An integrated circuit includes a first active region, a second active region, a first fuse and a dummy fuse. The first active region extends in a first direction, and is on a first level. The second active region extends in the first direction, is on the first level, and is separated from the first active region in a second direction different from the first direction. The first fuse extends in the first direction, is on a second level, overlaps the first active region and is electrically coupled to the first active region. The dummy fuse extends in the first direction, is on the second level, and is separated from the first fuse in the second direction. The dummy fuse overlaps the second active region, and is not electrically coupled to the second active region.

摘要: An integrated circuit includes a front-side horizontal conducting line and a front-side vertical conducting line at the front side of the substrate, a transistor in a semiconductor structure at the front side of the substrate, and a backside conducting line at a backside of the substrate. The front-side horizontal conducting line is directly connected to a first terminal of the transistor through a front-side terminal via-connector and directly connected to the front-side horizontal conducting line through a front-side metal-to-metal via-connector. A word connection line directly is connected to a gate terminal of the transistor through a gate via-connector. The backside conducting line is directly connected to a second terminal of the transistor through a backside terminal via-connector. In the integrated circuit, a front-side fuse element is conductively connected to either the front-side vertical conducting line or the front-side horizontal conducting line.
