Abstract: Embodiments herein may describe techniques for an integrated circuit including a MOSFET having a source area, a channel area, a gate electrode, and a drain area. The channel area may include a first channel region with a dopant of a first concentration next to the source area, and a second channel region with the dopant of a second concentration higher than the first concentration next to the drain area. A source electrode may be in contact with the source area, a gate oxide layer above the channel area, and the gate electrode above the gate oxide layer. A first resistance exists between the source electrode and the gate electrode. A second resistance exists between the source electrode, the gate electrode, and a path through the gate oxide layer to couple the source electrode and the gate electrode after a programming operation is performed. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Memory cell circuitry is disclosed. The memory cell circuitry includes a first transistor configured to have a threshold voltage of the first transistor modulated by hot carrier injection, a second transistor coupled to the first transistor and configured to have a threshold voltage of the second transistor modulated by hot carrier injection, a word line coupled to a gate of the first transistor and to a gate of the second transistor, a first bit line coupled to the first transistor and a second bit line coupled to the second transistor. In addition, the memory cell circuitry includes a source line coupled to the drain of the first transistor and to the drain of the second transistor, the word line and the source line configured to cause hot carrier injection (HCI) into the first transistor when a first supply voltage is applied to the word line and the source line, and the second bit line is floated and the first bit line is grounded. The word line and the source line are configured to cause hot carrier injection into the second transistor when the first supply voltage is applied to the word line and the source line, and the first bit line is floated and the second bit line is grounded. Methods utilizing this technology for generating a multi-time programmable non-volatile memory and a random number generator for physical unclonable function applications are included in this disclosure.

Abstract: Embodiments herein may describe techniques for an integrated circuit including a metal interconnect above a substrate and coupled to a first contact and a second contact. The first contact and the second contact may be above the metal interconnect and in contact with the metal interconnect. A first resistance may exist between the first contact and the second contact through the metal interconnect. After a programming voltage is applied to the second contact while the first contact is coupled to a ground terminal to generate a current between the first contact and the second contact, a non-conducting barrier may be formed as an interface between the second contact and the metal interconnect. A second resistance may exist between the first contact, the metal interconnect, the second contact, and the non-conducting barrier. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a memory cell circuit for storing data includes a pair of cross-coupled inverters for storing states of the memory cell circuit. Access devices provide access to the pair of cross-coupled inverters. The memory cell circuit also includes a set of electrically inactive p-type metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) devices that are coupled to the pair of cross-coupled inverters. The set of electrically inactive PMOS devices in combination with a portion (e.g., PMOS devices) of the pair of cross-coupled inverters enables a continuous p-type diffusion layer for the memory cell circuit.

Abstract: Interconnect fuse structures including a fuse with a necked line segment, as well as methods of fabricating such structures. A current driven by an applied fuse programming voltage may open necked fuse segments to affect operation of an IC. In embodiments, the fuse structure includes a pair of neighboring interconnect lines equidistant from a center interconnect line. In further embodiments, the center interconnect line, and at least one of the neighboring interconnect lines, include line segments of lateral widths that differ by a same, and complementary amount. In further embodiments, the center interconnect line is interconnected at opposite ends of a necked line segment. In further embodiments, the necked line segment is fabricated with pitch-reducing spacer-based patterning process.
