    • A system and method for reducing impedance loading of semiconductor integrated circuit devices implementing protective device structures that contributes to impedance loading at an I/O pad connection. The method comprises providing a fuse device between the I/O pad connection and the protective device; connecting a current source device associated with each fuse device in the integrated circuit, the current source device connected to one end of the fuse device; providing fuse selection circuit for activating current flow through a selected fuse device between the current source and the I/O connection, the current flow being of an amount sufficient for blowing the fuse and disconnecting the protective device from the circuit structure, thereby reducing impedance loading at the I/O connection. Such a system and method is employed in a memory system comprising integrated circuit chips disposed in a stacked relation, with each chip including: a layer of active circuitry formed at a first layer of each chip; a plurality of through conducting structures disposed substantially vertically through each chip for enabling electronic connection with active circuitry at the first layer; second conducting device disposed at an end of the through conducting structure at an opposite side of a chip for connection with a corresponding through conductive structure of an adjacent stacked chip, the stacked chip structure formed by aligning one or more through conducting structures and second conducting devices of adjacent chips, whereby a chip of the stack is electronically connected to active circuitry formed on other chips of the stack. The stacked chip structure is ideal for reducing data access latency in memory systems employing memory chips such as DRAM.

    • A gap conducting structure for an integrated electronic circuit that functions as an electronic fuse device and that is integrated as part of the semi-conductor chip wiring for providing over-current and thermal runaway protection. The gap conducting structure includes one or more air gap regions of predefined volume that fully or partially exposes a length of interlevel conductor layer in an IC. Alternately, the air gap region may wholly located within the dielectric region below a corresponding conductor and separated by insulator. When functioning as a fuse, the gap region acts to reduce thermal conductivity away from the exposed portion of the conductor enabling generation of higher heat currents in the conducting line with lower applied voltages sufficient to destruct a part of the partially exposed/fully exposed conducting line, thus preventing thermal runaway and over-current condition. The presence of gaps, and hence, the fuses, are scalable and may be tailored to the capacity of currents they must carry with the characteristics of the fuses defined by a circuit designer.
    • 用作集成电子电路的间隙导电结构,其用作电子熔断器件,并且被集成为用于提供过电流和热失控保护的半导体芯片布线的一部分。 间隙导电结构包括一个或多个预定体积的气隙区域,其完全或部分地暴露IC中的层间导体层的长度。 或者,气隙区域可以完全位于相应导体下方的电介质区域内并被绝缘体分隔开。 当用作熔丝时,间隙区域用于降低远离导体的暴露部分的热导率,使得能够以较低的施加电压在导电线中产生更高的热流,足以破坏部分暴露/完全暴露的导电线的一部分 ,从而防止热失控和过电流状态。 间隙的存在以及保险丝的存在是可扩展的,并且可以根据电路设计者定义的保险丝的特性来适应其必须携带的电流的容量。
