200409130 五、發明說明(2) 要的流程之一。 由於記憶體中包含有非常大·量之記憶體單元(目前之 記憶體的容量大多為數十至數百個百萬位元組(Mbyte ),例如64M,1 28M等),因此在如此為數眾多的記憶體 單元中,至少一個記憶體單元發生故障的機率將非常之 高,且若一記憶體當中只要有一個記憶體單元發生故障, 則該記憶體即會被視為不良品而導致其不堪使用,如此一 來,將造成記憶體製造廠商很大的困擾。故於一般記憶體 之設計中,通常會於原本的記憶體單元陣列之外,另外加 入一組備用之記憶體單元(Redundancy Cell),並且利 用一特殊之電路組態設計來控制及選擇該組備用之記憶體 單元與該記憶體體單元陣列之間的連結。有了此種設計, 於產品測試流程中發現在該記憶體單元陣列内某些特定位 置之記憶體單元發生故障時,便可以利用該特殊之電路組 ^態來控制該組備用之記憶體單元以取代發生故障之記憶體 單元原本的功能,如此則使該記憶體不致因少數部分發生 故障而報廢,因而節省了大量成本。而該特殊之電路組態 一般稱為選擇溶絲電路(Option Fuse Circuit)。 請參閱圖一,圖一中顯示習知一選擇熔絲電路1 〇之示 意圖。選擇熔絲電路1 0包含有一 P型金屬氧化層半導體電 晶體1 2、一 P型金屬氧化層半導體電晶體1 4、一 N型金屬氧 化層半導體電晶體1 6以及一選擇熔絲1 8。電晶體1 4及電晶200409130 V. Description of the invention (2) One of the important processes. Because the memory contains a very large amount of memory units (the current memory capacity is mostly tens to hundreds of megabytes (Mbyte), such as 64M, 1 28M, etc.), so it is counted as such Of the many memory units, at least one memory unit will have a high probability of failure, and if only one memory unit fails in a memory, the memory will be regarded as defective and cause its failure. Unusable, this will cause great trouble for memory manufacturers. Therefore, in the design of general memory, a group of spare memory cells (Redundancy Cell) is usually added in addition to the original memory cell array, and a special circuit configuration design is used to control and select the group. The connection between the spare memory unit and the memory unit array. With this design, when a memory unit at a certain position in the memory unit array is found to be faulty during the product testing process, the special circuit group can be used to control the group of spare memory units. To replace the original function of the faulty memory unit, so that the memory is not scrapped due to the failure of a small number of parts, thus saving a lot of costs. This special circuit configuration is generally called Option Fuse Circuit. Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a conventional selection fuse circuit 10.
