Abstract
Provided are related to a memory array including one-time programmable (OTP) cells. The memory array includes a first set of one-time programmable (OTP) cells connected between a first program control line and a first bit line. Each OTP cell of the first set of OTP cells includes a programmable storage device and a switch connected between the first program control line and the first bit line. The first program control line extends towards a first side of the memory array along a first direction. The first bit line extends towards a second side of the memory array facing away from the first side of the memory array. Each switch of the first set of OTP cells includes a gate electrode coupled to a corresponding read control line extending along a second direction traversing the first direction.
