  • Patent number: 4764800
    Abstract: A seal structure for a semiconductor integrated circuit is disclosed. Contacts within and outside the region encircled by the seal structure are coupled by running a doped semiconductor region under the encircling seal. A reverse biased junction is formed at the interface of the seal and underlying doped semiconductor region. The best mode disclosed is related to sealing fuse components from the remainder of the circuit components while providing electrical coupling ability.
