Abstract:
1. A design structure embodied in a non-transitory machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing an integrated circuit, the design structure is executable on a computer to provide elements of the integrated circuit that comprise: a resistor including: a tuner for passing a current pulse through the first resistive layer and the at least one second resistive layers to affect a conductivity structure of the first resistive layer and the at least one second resistive layer in order to obtain a first predetermined resistance value for the resistor, wherein the tuner includes a tuning and application circuit, decode circuitry to select one of the resistive layers in the resistor for tuning, and a fine current tuning circuitry to further tune one of the resistive layers selected by the decode circuitry, wherein the design structure embodied in the non-transitory machine readable medium is in a data format used for an exchange of layout data of the integrated circuit.
