    Abstract: A programmable ASIC architecture allows the size of programming transistors to be reduced along with other parts of the device as advances in processing technology are made. Programming enable circuits are used to allow a programming address shift register having fewer bits to be used in the programming of antifuses. Methods of simultaneously programming multiple corresponding antifuses to speed ASIC programming are disclosed. Aspects of the architecture allow output protection for digital logic elements in modules to be eliminated, some testing transistors to be eliminated, the sizes of other testing transistors to be reduced, capacitances on interconnect wire segments to be reduced, some programming transistors to be eliminated, and the sizes of other programming transistors to be reduced.

    Abstract: In one method for forming amorphous silicon antifuses with significantly reduced leakage current, a film of amorphous silicon is formed in a antifuse via between two electrodes. The amorphous silicon film is deposited using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, preferably in an silane-argon environment and at a temperature between 200 and 500 degrees C., or reactively sputtered in a variety of reactive gases. In another method, an oxide layer is placed between two amorphous silicon film layers. In yet another method, one of the amorphous silicon film layers about the oxide layer is doped. In another embodiment, a layer of conductive, highly diffusible material is formed either on or under the amorphous silicon film. The feature size and thickness of the amorphous silicon film are selected to minimize further the leakage current while providing the desired programming voltage. A method also is described for for forming a field programmable gate array with antifuses.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a programmable write-once, read-only semiconductor memory array which has an improved current source for each bit line and an improved current sink for each Word line. This programmable write-once, read-only semiconductor memory array utilizes a SCR (PNPN or NPNP) or the end of each Word line of the array to function as a current sink to minimize voltage drop on the Word line and a SCR (PNPN or NPNP) on each Bit line of the array for current sourcing purposes. This disclosure also relates to an integrated SCR (PNPN or NPNP) for use with a plurality of connected semiconductor devices to provide either a current sourcing or current sinking or drawing function for the plurality of connected semiconductor devices.

    Abstract: A field programmable gate array includes a programmable routing network, a programmable configuration network integrated with the programmable routing network; and a logic cell integrated with the programmable configuration network. The logic cell includes four two-input AND gates, two six-input AND gates, three multiplexers, and a delay flipflop. The logic cell is a powerful general purpose universal logic building block suitable for implementing most TTL and gate array macrolibrary functions. A considerable variety of functions are realizable with one cell delay, including combinational logic functions as wide as thirteen inputs, all boolean transfer functions for up to three inputs, and sequential flipflop functions such as T, JK and count with carry-in.
