Abstract: A read only memory having the capability of being written into once after manufacture. The cells of the memory are capable of being fused or permanently altered by directing a fusing current to the selected cells. The cell is a monolithic semiconductor device comprising a diode to be biased in a forward direction and a diode to be biased in the reverse direction structured so as to form back-to-back diodes. The reverse diode has a lower reverse breakdown voltage than the forward diode, and a metal connection, unconnected to any remaining circuit elements contacts the semiconductor device between diode junctions. The fusing current causes a metal-semiconductor alloy to form and short out the reverse diode.
