Abstract

A memory cell includes a fuse and at least one transistor. The transistor is used to control the programming or sensing of the fuse. A program voltage is applied to a stack of first and second conductive layers. A first portion of the stack couples the program voltage to a terminal of the transistor in a cell. A second portion of the stack couples the program voltage to a terminal of the transistor in another cell.
