    Abstract: Described herein is a fuse incorporating a covering layer disposed on a conductive layer, which is disposed on a polysilicon layer. The covering layer preferably comprises a relatively inert material, such as a nitride etchant barrier. The covering layer preferably has a region of relatively less-inert filler material. Upon programming of the fuse, the conductive layer, which can be a silicide, preferentially degrades in the region underlying the filler material of the covering layer. This preferential degradation results in a predictable "blowing" of the fuse in the fuse region underlying the filler material. Since the "blow" area is predictable, damage to adjacent structures can be minimized or eliminated.
