  • Thin oxide fuse
    Patent number: 4757359
    Abstract: An oxide fuse, and method of forming same, formed by a thin layer of oxide dielectric between a lower electrode substrate and an upper electrode. A fuse-programming bias of approximately 15V causes Fowler-Nordheim tunneling at low temperature to damage the dielectric layer, and shorts the upper and lower electrodes together. The oxide layer is advantageously formed simultaneously with the gate oxide layer in an EEPROM.
