US Patent 7312109 Methods for fabricating fuse programmable three dimensional integrated circuits

A method of fabricating a field programmable integrated circuit comprised of: constructing a semiconductor device comprising a fuse circuit to customize the logic content of a programmable logic circuit; and attaching said semiconductor device in a detachable lid package, wherein the fuses are customized in the field by detaching the lid and blowing one or more fuse elements. The said method further comprised of: providing a custom hard-wire pattern in lieu of the fuse circuit, wherein the programmable logic circuit timing is identical between the fuse circuit and hard-wire options.
