Abstract

See full text

A corrosion-resistant semiconductor device includes fuse elements that can be cut by laser light. An upper portion of the fuse elements is covered with a porous insulating film so that, when laser light irradiated from a rear surface of a semiconductor substrate is collected at selected fuse elements, the fuse elements generate heat, expand, and rupture. An array of intersecting metal lines forming windows is disposed over the fuse elements to permit rapid expansion of the fuse elements when irradiated with the laser light. A silicon nitride film having a uniform thickness is formed on a front surface of the semiconductor device to prevent entry of moisture.
