  • Method and apparatus for repairing a shorted tunnel device
    Publication number: 20070171736
    Abstract: A method for repairing a shorted tunnel device includes the step of applying a stressing signal to the tunnel device. The stressing signal has an amplitude that is greater than an amplitude of a bias signal applied to the device during normal operation. One or more characteristics of the stressing signal are selected so as to substantially optimize a repair of the device. The amplitude and/or the duration of the stressing signal are preferably selected so as to remove a conductive filament shorting the device via a thermal mechanism (e.g., heating).
