Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a front-side horizontal conducting line and a front-side vertical conducting line at the front side of the substrate, a transistor in a semiconductor structure at the front side of the substrate, and a backside conducting line at a backside of the substrate. The front-side horizontal conducting line is directly connected to a first terminal of the transistor through a front-side terminal via-connector and directly connected to the front-side horizontal conducting line through a front-side metal-to-metal via-connector. A word connection line directly is connected to a gate terminal of the transistor through a gate via-connector. The backside conducting line is directly connected to a second terminal of the transistor through a backside terminal via-connector. In the integrated circuit, a front-side fuse element is conductively connected to either the front-side vertical conducting line or the front-side horizontal conducting line.

Abstract: A memory device includes a bit line, a source line, a program word line, a read word line, a memory cell including a program transistor and a read transistor, and a controller. The program transistor includes a gate terminal coupled to the program word line, a first terminal coupled to the source line, and a second terminal. The read transistor includes a gate terminal coupled to the read word line, a first terminal coupled to the bit line, and a second terminal coupled to the second terminal of the program transistor. The controller is configured to, in a programming operation, cause a program current to flow through the memory cell along a first current path. The controller is further configured to, in a read operation, cause a read current to flow through the memory cell along a second current path different from the first current path.

Abstract: A method of operating a memory circuit includes turning on a first programming device and turning on a first selection device thereby causing a first current to flow through a first fuse element. The first fuse element is coupled between the first selection device and the first programming device. The method further includes turning off a second programming device and turning off a second selection device, and blocking the first current from flowing through a second fuse element that is coupled between the second selection device and the first programming device.

Abstract: A memory device includes a bit line, a word line, a memory cell including a capacitor and a transistor, and a controller. The transistor has a gate terminal coupled to the word line, a first terminal, and a second terminal. The capacitor has a first end coupled to the first terminal of the transistor, a second end coupled to the bit line, and an insulating material between the first end and the second end. The controller, in a programming operation, applies a turn-ON voltage via the word line to the gate terminal of the transistor to turn ON the transistor, and applies a program voltage via the bit line to the second end of the capacitor to apply, while the transistor is turned ON, a predetermined break-down voltage or higher between the first end and the second end of the capacitor to break down the insulating material of the capacitor.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are related to a memory array. In one aspect, the memory array includes a set of resistive storage circuits including a first subset of resistive storage circuits connected between a first local line and a second local line in parallel. The first local line and the second local line may extend along a first direction. In one aspect, for each resistive storage circuit of the first subset of resistive storage circuits, current injected at a first common entry point of the first local line exits through a first common exit point of the second local line, such that each resistive storage circuit of the first subset of resistive storage circuits may have same or substantial equal resistive loading.
