Semiconductor device
View Patent ↗The semiconductor device has a fuse and a fuse opening created above the fuse. The fuse is divided into a plurality of lines at a crossing portion where the fuse crosses with an edge of the fuse opening. The plurality of divided lines of the fuse 101 are in parallel with each other and in perpendicular to the edge of the fuse opening.
1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a plurality of fuse lines; and
a layer having a fuse opening above the plurality of fuse lines;
wherein each respective fuse line is sub-divided into a plurality of lines at a crossing portion where each respective fuse line and an edge of the fuse opening cross each other.
2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein each respective fuse line is divided into three or more lines.
3. A semiconductor device comprising:
a fuse; and
a layer having a fuse opening above the fuse;
wherein the fuse has a slit at a crossing portion where the fuse and an edge of the fuse opening cross each other.
4. The semiconductor device according to claim 3 , wherein the fuse has two or more slits.
5. A semiconductor device comprising:
a plurality of fuse lines, each respective fuse line having a first line portion and second line portions which are divided from the first line portion; and
a layer having an opening to cut the plurality of fuse lines exposing the first line portion and a part of the second line portions of each respective fuse line.
6. The semiconductor device according to claim 5 , wherein each respective fuse line further has a third line portion which connects to the second line portions.
7. The semiconductor device according to claim 5 , wherein the remaining of second line portions and the third line portion are covered with the layer.
8. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lines of each respective fuse line extend along a same plane.
9. The semiconductor device according to claim 5 , wherein the first line portion and the second line portions form one continuous layer, such that the first line portion and the second line portions extend along a same plane.
