Abstract:
A method of operating a FinFET fuse includes providing the FinFET fuse including a drain, a gate, a source, and a channel between the drain and the source; and applying a program voltage to one of the source and the drain of the FinFET fuse to cause a punch-through in the channel of the FinFET fuse. The method further includes determining a program state of the FinFET fuse.
