EFUSE (electrically programmable fuse) circuit and programmable storing device

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of programming controlling and provides an EFUSE (electrically programmable fuse) circuit and a programmable storing device. The EFUSE circuit comprises a divider resistor R1, a gate-oxide breakdown pipe and a switch S1. The divider resistor R1 and the gate-oxide breakdown pipe are connected between a first power source and the ground in series. The control end of the gate-oxide breakdown pipe is connected with a second power source through the switch S1. When programming is not carried out, the gate-oxide breakdown pipe is equivalent to a capacitor and divides a voltage with the divider resistor R1, and the divider resistor R1 and the common end of gate-oxide breakdown pipe output high level; when programming is carried out, the second power source outputs a high voltage to break down the gate-oxide breakdown pipe, the broken gate-oxide breakdown pipe is equivalent to a resistor, and the divider resistor R1 and the common end of the gate-oxide breakdown pipe output low level. The change of output logic 0 and output logic 1 is achieved through the capacitance / voltage characteristic change of the gate-oxide breakdown pipe before and after breakdown, then, programming control is achieved, and the reliability of programming is enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of programming control, in particular to an EFUSE circuit and a programmable storage device. Background technique [0002] EFUSE (Electrically programmable Fuse, electrically programmable fuse) technology is a one-time programming storage technology widely used in chips, which can be used to record the configuration information of the chip, or to repair the integrated circuit due to the semiconductor process. Unavoidable bad components. When the chip fails, the EFUSE circuit in the chip can repair the defect of the chip. When the chip runs incorrectly, the EFUSE circuit can automatically correct the chip. The EFUSE circuit writes logic 0 or logic 1 through the corresponding circuit and signal control. It is used to replace the corresponding failure part of the chip to complete the operation of input logic 0 or logic 1. [0003] Most of the existing EFUSE technologies are based on the multi-metal layer fuse fusing me...
