Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a main cell array, a fuse cell array, main cell word lines arranged at the main cell array, and fuse cell word lines arranged at the fuse cell array. The fuse cell word lines are formed in a same direction as a direction of the main cell word lines.

Claims (20)

1. A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising:

a main cell array;

a fuse cell array;

a fuse cell data latch circuit which latches data from the fuse cell array;

main cell word lines arranged at the main cell array; and

fuse cell word lines arranged at the fuse cell array, the fuse cell word lines being formed in a same direction as a direction of the main cell word lines.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein an area of the main cell array is larger than an area of the fuse cell array.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the fuse cell array is a memory cell array of a ROM and the main cell array is a memory cell array of a flash EEPROM.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the fuse cell array is a memory cell array of an EEPROM and the main cell array is a memory cell array of a flash EEPROM.

5. A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising:

a main cell array;

a fuse cell array;

a fuse cell data latch circuit which latches data from the fuse cell array;

main cell word lines arranged at the main cell array, the main cell word lines extending in a row direction;

main cell bit lines crossing the main cell word lines, the main cell bit lines extending in a column direction;

fuse cell word lines arranged at the fuse cell array, the fuse cell word lines extending in the row direction; and

fuse cell bit lines crossing the fuse cell word lines, the fuse cell bit lines extending in the column direction.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein an area of the main cell array is larger than an area of the fuse cell array.

7. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the fuse cell array is a memory cell array of a ROM and the main cell array is a memory cell array of a flash EEPROM.

8. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the fuse cell array is a memory cell array of an EEPROM and the main cell array is a memory cell array of a flash EEPROM.
