Abstract

提供了一种识别微调错误的方法。一根熔丝连接到输出端和电位为VDD或VSS电平的端子之间,固定微调错误时的输出电压。或者,当微调操作错误时,在VDD和VSS之间形成短路,这样就会造成很大的电流,由此可以很容易地对错误进行检测。

Description

半导体集成电路
发明领域
本发明涉及一种用来识别微调(trimming)故障的半导体集成电路。
背景技术
图8所示的是一个常规的微调的实例。下面这里将介绍一下常规的微调。在图8中,截断熔丝821,端子811和负电源VSS之间的电阻对应电阻841。进一步,如果熔丝821没有截断的话,端子811和负电源VSS之间的电阻对应电阻841和842的合成电阻。图8电路中,端子811的电压由这个电阻值和电阻843的电阻值的比值控制。
在常规的微调中,如果不执行微调,那么得到的就是一个不符合要求的产品。但是有一种可能,不需要执行微调而提供符合要求的产品取决于测试有效电压的范围。在这种情况下,即使激光辐射到这个位置,切断了熔丝,这样因为微调校准位置的偏移不能够进行微调,或者是出现类似的情况时,在测试时仍然可能提供符合要求的产品。另外,还存在一种令人担心的问题,那就是激光辐射到错误的位置会影响产品的长期可靠性,所以,不符合要求的产品应该被正确识别。
发明内容
为了解决上面描述的问题,本发明的目的是提供一种半导体集成电路,该电路的一个结构用模拟的熔丝根据微调错误的情况下的输出来识别故障。如上构成的半导体集成电路有一个优点,就是可以根据输出是否固定为VSS或者VDD来判断微调是成功的还是失败的。进一步,如果没有执行微调,正电源和负电源之间出现短路时采用这样的结构,这样,可以通过检查消耗的电流就可以判断微调是成功的还是失败的。

具体实施方式
下文中,将参照附图对本发明的实施例进行描述。图1到图7所示的是根据本发明的CMOS电路结构的实例。
图1是显示本发明的实施例的图,其中,熔丝121的一端接在CMOS电路100的输出和输出端111之间,熔丝的另外一端则接到晶体管131上。在图1中,如果微调操作正常,熔丝121被截断,输出端111的电压由CMOS电路100决定。在微调发生错误的情况下,当一个信号输入到检测端112使晶体管131导通时,输出端111通过熔丝121连接到了负电源电压VSS上,这样输出端111的电压就变成了VSS。于是,这样可以检测微调错误。
图2是显示本发明的另一个实施例的图,其中,熔丝221的一端接到CMOS电路200的输出和输出端211之间,熔丝221的另外一端接到晶体管231上。在图2中,如果微调操作正常,熔丝221被截断,输出端211的电压由CMOS电路200来决定。在微调发生错误的情况下,当一个信号输入到检测端212使得晶体管231导通时,输出端211就通过熔丝221连接到正电源电压VDD上,这样输出端211的电压就变成了VDD。于是,这样可以检测微调错误。
图3是显示本发明的另一个实施例的图,在图中,晶体管331和熔丝321串连到CMOS电路300的输出和输出端311之间。在图3中,如果微调操作正常,熔丝321被截断,输出端311的电压由CMOS电路300决定。在微调发生故障的情况下,当一个信号输入到检测端312使得晶体管331导通时,输出端311通过熔丝321连接到负电源电压VSS上,这样输出端311的电压就变成了VSS。于是,这样可以检测微调错误。
图4是显示本发明的另一个实施例的图,其中,晶体管431和熔丝421串连到CMOS电路400的输出和输出端411之间。在图4中,如果微调操作正常,熔丝421被截断,输出端411的电压由CMOS电路400决定。在微调发生故障的情况下,当一个信号输入到检测端412使得晶体管431导通时,输出端411通过熔421连接到正电源电压VDD上,这样输出端411的电压就变成了VDD。于是,这样可以检测微调错误。
图5中,如果微调操作正常,熔丝521被截断,没有电流流过晶体管531。在微调发生故障的情况下,当一个信号输入到检测端512使得晶体管531导通时,晶体管中将有电流流过。于是,这样可以检测微调错误。
图6中,如果微调操作正常,熔丝621被截断,没有电流流过晶体管631。在微调发生故障的情况下,当一个信号输入到检测端612使得晶体管631导通时,晶体管中将有电流流过。于是,这样可以检测微调错误。
在图7中,如果微调操作正常,熔丝721或722被截断,这样,晶体管731和732中就不会有电流。在微调发生故障的情况下,当多个信号输入到检测端712和713使得晶体管731和732分别导通时,这样,会有电流流过。于是,这样可以检测微调错误。
图9和图10是一个设计实例和一个对应的电路图。在图9中,依照对准951进行激光微调。如果对主要的熔丝921和922微调操作正常,检测错误的熔丝923也须被截断。相反,由于杂质的存在或者类似的原因,使得激光微调不按照定位调整执行,在主要的熔丝921和922的微调不正确的情况下,也不截断用于错误检测的熔丝。于是,这样可以检测微调错误。
而且,当多个芯片按照图11所示的准线进行对准时,在发生位置偏移的情况下,主要熔丝的微调的成败主要是通过错误检测熔丝来判断。
本发明可以依照上面描述的实施例来实现,并且提供如下的作用:当微调操作发生故障时,输出端的电压固定为电源电压;通过流过的大电流就可以易于检测到微调错误;于是,微调操作不正确的电路就可以被区别出来。
