ABSTRACT:
A fuse used for redundancy function in a semiconductor device includes a pair of fuse terminals formed as a common layer with top interconnect lines by using a damascene technique, and a fuse element made of refractive metal and bridging the fuse terminals. The fuse element is formed as a common layer with the protective cover films covering the interconnect lines.
