Abstract:
Described herein is a fuse device (1) having a fuse element (2) provided with a first terminal (10) and a second terminal (16) and an electrically breakable region (15a), which is arranged between the first terminal (10) and the second terminal (16) and is configured to undergo breaking as a result of the supply of a programming electrical quantity, thus electrically separating the first terminal (10) from the second terminal (16). The electrically breakable region (15a) is of a phase-change material, in particular a calcogenic material, for example GST.
