ABSTRACT:
Selected circuit elements and interconnections of a integrated circuit device are connected by platinum silicide fuse links which open when electrical power exceeds a threshold amount. The fuse is constructed by defining the fuse geometry in a polycrystalline silicon layer over a wafer substrate, depositing a layer of platinum thereover and then sintering the platinum into the polysilicon.
