Abstract
A semiconductor device is described. A channel area is arranged in a semiconductor substrate between a first contact area and a second contact area. A first programmable structure includes a first control structure. The first programmable structure is arranged such that a conductivity of a first section of the channel area depends on a voltage applicable to the first control structure of the first programmable structure and on an information value stored in the first programmable structure. A second programmable structure includes a second control structure. The second programmable structure is arranged such that a conductivity of a second section of the channel area depends on a voltage applicable to the second control structure of the second programmable structure and on an information value stored in the second programmable structure. The first section and the second section of the channel area are electrically connected in series between the first contact area and the second contact area.
