  • Patent number: 12575093
    Abstract: Provided is an anti-fuse structure, an anti-fuse array and a method for forming the same. The anti-fuse structure includes: a substrate; a switching device including a first gate structure, a second gate structure, a first doped region, a second doped region and a third doped region, the first and the second gate structures being arranged on the substrate, the first and the second doped regions being respectively located in the substrate at two sides of the first gate structure, and the second and the third doped regions being respectively located in the substrate at two sides of the second gate structure; and an anti-fuse device including a third gate structure and the third doped region, the second and the third gate structures being respectively located on the substrate at two sides of the third doped region, and the doped regions being configured to form a source or a drain, respectively.

  • Patent number: 12413216
    Abstract: A delay measuring circuit includes a control oscillation module with its input terminal connected to its output terminal, which sequentially generates a number of time delay signals with a cycle time T after receiving first enable control signal; a target oscillating module receives a second enabling signal delayed by a first preset threshold than the first enabling signal; after the first preset time T1 is disconnected from the ground terminal/power supply terminal, each stage of the target unit in the target oscillating module connects at the second preset time T2. The level of the target unit turns over at first preset time T1, and target unit maintains logic level for second preset time T2; T1+T2=T/2, and N is an odd integer. So leakage current is reduced and mutual influence of the action current between the adjacent two-level target units are avoided, thus improving ring oscillator performance and reliability.
