Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a lower-layer substrate, a fuse above the lower-layer substrate and blown by radiation with light, a silicon oxide film on the fuse and on an exposed portion of the surface of the lower-layer substrate, and a silicon nitride film on the silicon oxide film. The portion of the silicon oxide film on the surface of the lower-layer substrate is thicker than the fuse, and the silicon oxide film has an opening opposite the fuse.
Abstract:
A contact (15) and a copper interconnect line (16) as an uppermost interconnect layer are buried in an interlayer insulating film (14). A pad area (17) including aluminum alloy (such as AlCu or AlSiCu) is buried in a predetermined area of the copper interconnect line (16). A gold wire (18) is bonded to the pad area (17).
