Abstract
The present invention discloses an incoherent radiation regulated voltage programmable link circuit and a method for making the circuit. The voltage programmable link circuit lowers the programming voltage of the link to that of the normal operating voltage by applying electromagnetic radiation to the link structure. The radiation may be radio frequency radiation, or ultraviolet radiation may be applied through a transparent conductive element.
