Abstract:
1. A micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) apparatus, comprising: a substrate with a first surface and a second surface, the first surface and the second surface being on opposing sides of the substrate; a programming contact pad disposed on the second surface of the substrate; a MEMS device disposed on the first surface of the substrate; an integrated circuit disposed on the first surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the MEMS device and the programming contact pad; an anti-fuse region coupled to the programming contact pad and to ground; such that when the anti-fuse region is not fused a first electrical path exists from the programming contact pad to the integrated circuit; such that when the anti-fuse region is fused, a second electrical path is created from the programming contact pad to ground and the first electrical path is no longer available for programming purposes.
