Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) device including a substrate, a plurality of device layers formed over the substrate, and a plurality of multi-level revision (MLR) structures that generate a revision code indicative of device revisions. Each MLR group structure includes a number of MLR cells and includes a parity circuit having a number of inputs coupled to the outputs of the MLR cells and having an output to generate a corresponding bit of the revision code. The MLR cells in each MLR group structure are assigned to different device layers, and each device layer is assigned to one MLR cell in each MLR group structure. Each revision code bit is controllable by any MLR cell in the corresponding MLR group structure.
