Structure and programming of laser fuse

An electronic structure, comprising:

• a first dielectric layer having at least a first via and a second via both filled with a first electrically conducting material;
• a first oxygen-getter shield and a second oxygen-getter shield being directly above the first and second filled vias and in direct physical contact with the first electrically conducting material in the first and second vias, respectively, the first and second oxygen-getter shields comprising a second electrically conducting, oxygen-getter material;
• and
• a fuse link electrically connecting the first and second oxygen-getter shields, the fuse link comprising a third material having a characteristic of changing its electrical resistance after being exposed to a laser beam, wherein first and second regions of the first and second oxygen-getter shields, respectively, are directly above the fuse link, such that the fuse link is disposed between the first region of the first oxygen-getter shield and the first dielectric layer, and such that the fuse link is disposed between the second region of the second oxygen-getter shield and the first dielectric.
