Abstract
A system for repairable interconnect links using laser energy in a semiconductor integrated circuit die. The integrated circuit die is fabricated to include a plurality of interconnect links. At least a first and a second interconnect element are included in the integrated circuit die. The first and second interconnect elements are couple via an interconnect link. An anti-reflective layer is disposed on a surface above the interconnect link. The anti-reflective layer is configured to increase an amount of laser energy absorbed by the interconnect link in order to fuse the interconnect link, and thereby repair the integrated circuit die.
