ABSTRACT:
A selectably customizable semconductor device including a first metal layer disposed in a first plane and including first elongate strips extending parallel to a first axis, a second metal layer disposed in a second plane generally parallel to and electrically insulated from the first plane and including second elongate strips extending parallel to a second axis, the second axis being generally perpendicular to the first axis, whereby a multiplicity of elongate strip overlap locations are defined at which the elongate strips of the first and second metal layers overlap in electrical insulating relationship, the first metal layer including a plurality of fusible conductive bridges joining adjacent pairs of the first elongate strips, the fusible conductive bridges including first and second fusible links, the first metal layer also including a plurality of branch strips, each branch strip connecting one of the fusible conductive bridges at a location intermediate the first and second fusible links to a branch overlap location spaced from the multiplicity of elongate strip overlap locations, an electrical connection being formed between the first metal layer and the second metal layer at each of the branch overlap locations.
