ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device comprising a substrate, a plurality of dielectric films formed on the substrate, laid one upon another, and a fuse interconnect-wire formed above the substrate and covered with a predetermined one of the dielectric films, and including a fuse main body which is to be blown to electrically disconnect the fuse interconnect-wire, which is smaller than a bottom of a fuse-blowing recess made in the predetermined dielectric film, which has a length not less than the diameter of a fuse-blowing laser beam and which opposes the bottom of the fuse-blowing recess.
