  • Patent number: 11557360
    Abstract: The present application provides a memory test circuit and a device wafer including the memory test circuit. The memory test circuit is coupled to a memory array having intersecting first and second signal lines, and includes a fuse element and a transistor. The fuse element has a first terminal coupled to a first group of the first signal lines and a test voltage, and has a second terminal coupled to second and third groups of the first signal lines. The transistor has a source/drain terminal coupled to the second terminal of the fuse element and another source/drain terminal coupled to a reference voltage. The first group of the first signal lines are selectively coupled to the test voltage when the transistor is turned on, and all of the first signal lines are coupled to the test voltage when the transistor is kept off.
