Semiconductor device
A semiconductor device includes a multilayer wiring structure on a substrate. The multilayer wiring structure includes: a top wiring; a fuse element, which is located on a lower layer-side of the top wiring, and is made of metal having a melting point that is higher than that of the top wiring; and a lower-layer wiring, which is connected to each of ends of the fuse element. Provided is a semiconductor device in which fuse elements made of the high-melting point metal are arranged at high density.
1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a substrate; and
a multilayer wiring structure on the substrate,
the multilayer wiring structure comprising:
a top wiring;
a fuse element located on a lower-layer side of the top wiring, the fuse element comprising a first layer of a first metal and a second layer of a second metal disposed directly on top of the first layer, the second layer being thicker than the first layer, the first metal and the second metal having a melting point that is higher than a melting point of the top wiring; and
a lower-layer wiring connected to each of both ends of the first layer of the fuse element.
2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the lower-layer wiring is connected directly to each of the both ends from a lower-layer side of the fuse element.
3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the fuse element has a thickness of 200 nm or more and 1,000 nm or less.
