Patents by Inventor Hsuan-Chi Su

Hsuan-Chi Su has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11749320
    Abstract: A storage device including a cell array and a disturb-free circuit is provided. The cell array includes a first cell and a second cell. The first cell is coupled to a first conductive line and a specific conductive line. The second cell is coupled to a second conductive line and the specific conductive line. The disturb-free circuit performs a first write operation on the first cell and performs a verification operation on the second cell. The verification operation determines whether data stored in the second cell is disturbed by the first write operation. In response to the data stored in the second cell being disturbed by the first write operation, the disturb-free circuit performs a second write operation.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200251166
    Abstract: A circuit to program a programmable memory cell, such as an OTP (One-Time-Programmable) memory cell, by using a current source to output a current to a bit-line of the OTP memory cell, wherein the amount of the current outputted from the current source can be adjusted according to a feedback signal from the OTP memory cell.

  • Patent number: 9589971
    Abstract: An anti-fuse memory cell is provided. The anti-fuse memory cell includes a programmable transistor and a selection transistor. The programmable transistor includes a gate structure, a first doped region and a lightly doped region. The first doped region is divided into a first portion doped region, a second portion doped region and a third portion doped region. The first and second portion doped regions are respectively a source and a drain of the programmable transistor, and the third portion doped region is disposed between the first and second portion doped regions. The lightly doped region is distributed around a channel region of the programmable transistor, and adjacent to the first, second and third portion doped regions. The selection transistor includes a gate structure and a second doped region, and connected in series to the programmable transistor through the first portion doped region.
