ABSTRACT:
A fuse structure and a method for operating the same. The fuse structure operating method includes providing a structure. The structure includes (a) an electrically conductive layer and (b) N electrically conductive regions hanging over without touching the electrically conductive layer. N is a positive integer and N is greater than 1. The N electrically conductive regions are electrically connected together. The structure operating method further includes causing a first electrically conductive region of the N electrically conductive regions to touch the electrically conductive layer without causing the remaining N−1 electrically conductive regions to touch the electrically conductive layer.
