A novel architecture for CMOS electrically configurable gate arrays using a two-terminal antifuse element is described. The architecture is extensible and can provide a level of integration comparable to mask-programmable gate arrays. This is accomplished by using a conventional gate array organization with rows of logic modules separated by wiring channels. Each channel contains segmented wiring tracks. The overhead need to program the antifuses is minimized by an addressing scheme that utilizes the wiring segments, pass transistors between adjacent segments, shared control lines, and serial addressing circuitry at the periphery of the array. By providing sufficient wiring tracks segmented into carefully chosen lengths and a logic module with a high degree of symmetry, fully automated placement and routing is facilitated. >
