Abstract

1306189 Repairable integrated circuits HUGHES AIRCRAFT CO 19 April 1971 [5 March 1970] 23235/71 Addition to 1282177 Heading H1K An integrated circuit substrate comprises an array of randomly distributed good cells each provided with terminals. The array is covered with an apertured insulating layer exposing the terminals of selected ones of the good cells, and the layer is covered with a metallization layer which effectively relocates the selected cells (where necessary) to points on a predetermined master circuit pattern common to a set of substrates and which also provides conductive segments at predetermined locations to later act as oross-unders. A further insulating layer may be apertured using a mask common to all wafers of the same type and which exposes the said points and the terminations of the crossunders. Another mask common to all wafers of the same type is used to provide a predetermined pattern of metallization which links some of the points (and their associated cells) into a specific circuit arrangement and which provides the remaining points, which are associated with the remainder of the selected cells, with isolated terminal pads. Since all the interconnections are thus made accessible in the uppermost level of metallization it is possible to determine readily the identity of any cell of the specific circuit arrangement now found faulty (for example as a result of bad metallization or bad inter-level insulation) or which becomes faulty in use. The faulty cell may be isolated by laser cutting or etching away its interconnections and one of the (redundant) remainder of the selected cells is placed in circuit by, for example, soldering jumper wires between its isolated terminal pads and those interconnections severed from the faulty cell.
