High density one time programmable memory

Abstract

A one time programmable memory cell for use in high-density memory devices is provided. The one time programmable memory cell includes a fuse device connected to a bit line and a select device and a select device connected to a row select line and to ground. The fuse device may be a thin oxide transistor having its gate connected to the bit line, its source connected to the select device, and a floating or non-existent. Alternatively, the fuse device may be a thin oxide transistor. The high density memory device includes a plurality of the one time programmable memory cells arranged in an array and adapted to be programmed using a high voltage.
