Fuse structure and method to form the same

A fuse structure comprising:

• an insulator layer;
• a plurality of fuse electrodes extending through said insulator layer to an underlying wiring layer;
• and
• a fuse element connected to said electrodes, wherein said fuse element is positioned external to said insulator, wherein said fuse element is perpendicularly disposed above said plurality of fuse electrodes, wherein said plurality of fuse electrodes are diametrically opposed to one another.

A method of producing a fuse structure, said method comprising:

• applying an insulator layer over a wiring layer;
• wherein said insulator layer comprises an upper layer, a middle layer, and a bottom layer;
• creating voids in said insulating layer and reducing a height of a fuse area of said upper layer between said voids;
• filling said voids and said fuse with a fuse material to form fuse electrodes in said voids and a fuse element above said fuse area.
