  • Apparatus and method for programming an electronically programmable semiconductor fuse
    Patent number: 8445362
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for programming an electronically programmable semiconductor fuse applies a programming current to a fuse link as a series of multiple pulses. Application of the programming current as a series of multiple short pulses provides a level of programming current sufficiently high to ensure reliable and effective electromigration while avoiding exceeding temperature limits of the fuse link.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 11, 2006
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2013
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Dan Moy, Stephen Wu, Peter Wang, Brian W. Messenger, Edwin Soler, Gabriel Chiulli
