  • Publication number: 20150076656
    Abstract: An electronic fuse includes a body, an anode coupled to the body, and a cathode coupled to the body. Each of the anode and the cathode includes a first line contacting the body. The first line is discontinuous along its length and includes a first portion and a second portion with a space therebetween. A second line is disposed above the first line and a plurality of vias couple the first and second lines. The first portion of the first line is coupled to a first subset of the plurality of vias and the second portion of the first line is coupled to a second subset of the vias.
