    Abstract: A voltage provision circuit includes a first NMOS transistor gated with a first control signal and sourced with a ground voltage, a second NMOS transistor gated with a second control signal complementary to the first control signal and sourced with the ground voltage, a first PMOS transistor sourced with a first supply voltage, a second PMOS transistor sourced with the first supply voltage, and a voltage modulation circuit that is coupled between the first to second PMOS transistors and the first to second NMOS transistors, and is configured to provide a first intermediate signal based on the first and second control signals. The first intermediate signal has a first logic state corresponding to the first supply voltage and a second logic state corresponding to a second supply voltage that is a fraction of the first supply voltage.

    Abstract: A memory device includes a plurality of memory cells, each of which includes a first transistor, a second transistor, and a resistor operatively coupled to each other in series. Each of the first and second transistors include a sub-transistor, the sub-transistor having a channel structure, a source structure disposed on one side of the channel structure, and a drain structure disposed on the other side of the channel structure. The resistor includes a metal structure disposed above the first and second transistors. The channel structures, source structures, and drain structures of the sub-transistors are all formed in a first active region of a substrate.

    Abstract: A fusible structure includes: a metal line in a first metal layer extending along a first direction; and a first dummy structure disposed proximal to the metal line relative to a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction, the first dummy structure being in a second metal layer. Relative to the first direction, the metal line includes first, second and third portions, the second portion being between the first portion and third portion. Relative to a third direction that is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, the first portion has a first thickness and the second portion has a second thickness, the first thickness being greater than the second thickness.

    Abstract: A memory device includes a first programming gate-strip for a first anti-fuse structure and a second programming gate-strip for a second anti-fuse structure. In the memory device, a terminal conductor overlies a terminal region between the channel regions of a first transistor and a second transistor. The memory device also includes a group of first programming conducting and a group of second programming conducting lines. The first programming conducting lines are conductively connected to the first programming gate-strip through a first group of one or more gate via-connectors. The second programming conducting lines are conductively connected to the second programming gate-strip through a second group of one or more gate via-connectors.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods and apparatuses 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.
