Electrically Programmable Fuse (eFUSE): From Memory Redundancy to Autonomic Chips
Norman Robson,John M. Safran,Chandrasekharan Kothandaraman,Alberto Cestero,Xiang Chen,R. Rajeevakumar,Alan J. Leslie,Dan Moy,T. Kirihata,Subramanian S. Iyer +9 more
TL;DR: The evolution and applications of electrical fuse solutions for 180 nm to 45 nm technologies at IBM are reviewed, and some insight into future uses in 32 nm technology and beyond with the eFUSE as a building block for the autonomic chip of the future is provided.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

John M. Safran,Alan J. Leslie,Gregory J. Fredeman,Chandrasekharan Kothandaraman,Alberto Cestero,Xiang Chen,R. Rajeevakumar,Deok-kee Kim,Yan Zun Li,Dan Moy,Norman Robson,T. Kirihata,S. S. Iyer +12 more
TL;DR: A compact eFUSE programmable array memory configured as a 4 Kb one-time programmable ROM (OTPROM) is presented, demonstrating a >10X density increase over traditional VLSI fuse circuits.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Commercial Field-Programmable Dense eFUSE Array Memory with 99.999% Sense Yield for 45nm SOI CMOS
Gregory J. Uhlmann,T. Aipperspach,Toshiaki Kirihata,K. Chandrasekharan,Yan Zun Li,Chris Paone,B. Reed,Norman Robson,John M. Safran,D. Schmitt,S.S. Iyer +10 more
TL;DR: A second-generation one-time programmable read-only memory (OTPROM) that provides these features through a balanced bitline, resistor pull-up, differential sense amp with a programmable reference is described.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Reliability Qualification of CoSi2 Electrical Fuse for 90Nm Technology
C. E. Tian,Byeongju Park,Chandrasekharan Kothandaraman,John M. Safran,Deok-kee Kim,Norman Robson,Ss. Iyer +6 more
TL;DR: A qualification methodology is demonstrated to define an optimized reliable electrical fuse programming window by combining fuse resistance measurements, physical analysis, and functional sensing data that addresses the impact on electrical fuse reliability caused by process variation and device degradation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Reliability investigation of NiPtSi electrical fuse with different programming mechanisms
C. E. Tian,Dan Moy,Chuck Le,B. Messenger,Chandrasekharan Kothandaraman,John M. Safran,Stephen Wu,Norman Robson,S. S. Iyer +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the reliability of NiPtSi/p-poly Si electrical fuses with different programming mechanisms, i.e., electromigration and thermal rupture, was investigated in terms of fuse resistance stability and fuse array functionality for the 65-nm technology node.
