Abstract
The state of conduction of an MOS transistor 11 is definitively controlled by a laser beam 21, by forming an electrical connection 22 between the gate 16 and the subjacent portion d of the source region 14 or drain region 15. The invention is applicable in particular to the correction (reconfiguration, redundancy) of integrated circuits and to the programming of integrated PROMs.
