摘要： Techniques and circuitry are disclosed for implementing non-volatile storage that exploit bias temperature instability (BTI) effects of high-k/metal-gate n-type or p-type metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS or PMOS) transistors. A programmed bitcell of, for example, a memory or programmable logic circuit exhibits a threshold voltage shift resulting from an applied programming bias used to program bitcells. In some cases, applying a first programming bias causes the device to have a first state, and applying a second programming bias causes the device to have a second state that is different than the first state. Programmed bitcells can be erased by applying an opposite polarity stress, and re-programmed through multiple cycles. The bitcell configuration can be used in conjunction with column/row select circuitry and/or readout circuitry, in accordance with some embodiments.
摘要翻译：公开了用于实现利用高k /金属栅极n型或p型金属氧化物半导体（NMOS或PMOS）晶体管的偏置温度不稳定性（BTI）效应的非易失性存储器的技术和电路。例如，存储器或可编程逻辑电路的编程位单元表现出由用于编程位单元的应用编程偏置产生的阈值电压偏移。在一些情况下，施加第一编程偏置使得器件具有第一状态，并且施加第二编程偏置使得器件具有与第一状态不同的第二状态。可以通过施加相反的极性应力来擦除编程的位单元，并通过多个周期重新编程。根据一些实施例，位单元配置可以与列/行选择电路和/或读出电路结合使用。

摘要： A programmable anti-fuse element includes a substrate (224), an N-well (426) in the substrate, an electrically insulating layer (427) over the N-well, and a gate electrode (430) over the electrically insulating layer. The gate electrode has n-type doping so that the N-well is able to substantially contain within its boundaries a current generated following a programming event of the programmable anti-fuse element. In the same or another embodiment, a twice-programmable fuse element (100) includes a metal gate fuse (110) and an oxide anti-fuse (120) such as the programmable anti-fuse element just described.
