    Method for fabrication of a semiconductor element and structure thereof
    (2013-03-05) Or-Bach, Zvi; Tour, James M.; Yao, Jun; Cronquist, Brian; Rice University; United States Patent and Trademark Office
    Re-programmable antifuses and structures utilizing re-programmable antifuses are presented herein. Such structures include a configurable interconnect circuit having at least one re-programmable antifuse, wherein the at least one re-programmable antifuse is configured to be programmed to conduct by applying a first voltage across it and is configured to be re-programmed not to conduct by applying second voltage across it, wherein the second voltage is higher than the first voltage. Additionally, the re-programmable antifuses may be configured to a permanently conductive state by applying an even higher voltage across it.
