ABSTRACT:
A variable delay circuit has plural delay stages connected in series for providing delay time during signal propagation therethrough, and a high resistive delay signal line on a lower level of a multi-layered semiconductor structure and a low resistive breakable signal line on an upper level of the multi-layered semiconductor structure are connected in parallel between two nodes of each delay stage so as to change the total resistance of the delay stage; when a manufacturer decreases the delay time, the low resistive breakable signal line is broken, and the signal is propagated through the high resistive signal line instead of the low resistive breakable signal line.
