Abstract
A semiconductor device with a plurality of one time programmable elements and to a method for programming a semiconductor device, and to a method for operating a semiconductor device is disclosed. One embodiment provides a method for programming a semiconductor device comprising a plurality of one time programmable elements that form a group of one time programmable elements. The one time programmable elements of the group are left in a non-programmed state if a first information is to be stored by the group. A first one time programmable element of the group is programmed if a second information differing from the first information is to be stored by the group.
