Methods of forming and using a microelectronic structure are described. Embodiments include forming a diode between a metal fuse gate and a PMOS device, wherein the diode is disposed between a contact of the metal fuse gate and a contact of the PMOS device, and wherein the diode couples the contact of the metal fuse gate to the contact of the PMOS device.

Methods of forming secured metal gate antifuse structures

Embodiments may comprise logic such as hardware and/or code to provide a secure device area network. Many embodiments comprise a gateway node or enterprise enhanced node with a services distribution frame installed on a customer's premises. The gateway node or enterprise enhanced node may interconnect the secure wireless device area network at the customer's premises with a cellular network. In many embodiments, the cellular network core may provision authentication credentials and security keys, and manage access polies to facilitate access by Application Service Providers to devices on premises including smart devices via a security and policy enforcement function of a services distribution frame of the gateway node or enterprise enhanced node, Authorized members of the secure wireless device area network may connect to the Wide Area Network (WAN) through the gateway node and the cellular network core.

Secure wireless device area network of a cellular system

A tamper resistant fuse design is generally presented. In this regard, an apparatus is introduced comprising a plurality of fuses in an integrated circuit device to store values and a plurality of resistors in parallel to the fuses, wherein each fuse includes a parallel resistor to provide a potential dissipation path around the fuse. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
