Electronic fuse having an insulation layer

Abstract

An electronic fuse structure including etching a dual damascene feature in a dielectric layer, the dual damascene feature including a first via opening, a second via opening, and a trench opening, forming a seed layer within the dual damascene feature, the seed layer including a conductive material, and heating the dielectric layer and the seed layer causing the seed layer to reflow and fill the first via opening, the second via opening, and partially filling the trench opening to form a fuse line, a first via, and a second via. The structure further including forming an insulating layer on top of the fuse line, and forming a fill material on top of the insulating layer and substantially filling the trench opening.
