Repairing embedded memories (e-memories) on an advanced system-on-chip (SOC) product is a key technique used to improve product yield. However. increasing the die area of SOC products equipped with various types of e-memories on the die is an issue. A fuse scheme can be used to resolve this issue. However. several fuse schemes that have been proposed to decrease the die area result in an increased repair time. Therefore. in this paper. we propose a novel fuse scheme that decreases both die area and repair time. Moreover. our approach is applied to a 65 nm SoC product. The results indicate that the proposed fuse scheme effectively decrea~es the die area and repair time of advanced SOC products. key words: ralld(}m access mem(}l)~ system-em-chip. redulldallcy.juse
