ABSTRACT:
An improved laser fusible link structure for semiconductor devices (200) and method of manufacturing thereof (10) is disclosed. A first conductive layer is patterned to create a laser fuse (202) and then covered with a first dielectric layer (212). An etch mask layer, in the preferred embodiment a second layer of polysilicon, is deposited and patterned to form a fuse etch mask (214) directly over the laser fuse (202). The fuse etch mask (214) has a width that is smaller than a minimum laser spot size, but large enough to protect the laser fuse (202) from fuse window over-etch, taking into account any potential misalignment between the laser fuse (202) and the fuse etch mask (214).
