Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a transistor, a first fuse element and a second fuse element. The transistor is formed in a first conductive layer. The first fuse element is formed in a second conductive layer and coupled between the transistor and a first data line. The second fuse element is formed in the second conductive layer and coupled between the transistor and a second data line. The first fuse element and the second fuse element are disposed at a same side of the transistor.
