Abstract
A semiconductor memory includes, in part, M×N select transistors disposed along M rows and N columns, where M and N are integers greater than or equal to 2. The memory further includes, in part, a first set of M wells each configured to be biased independently of the remaining M−1 wells. Each well has formed therein N of the select transistors each having a source/drain terminal coupled to the same bitline corresponding to a different one of M bitlines of the memory. The memory further includes, in part, M×N anti-fuses. Each anti-fuse is associated and forms a bitcell with a corresponding one of the M×N select transistors.
