Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:a semiconductor substrate; an insulating layer which is formed over the semiconductor substrate; a fusible conductive link which is located on the insulating layer, wherein the fusible conductive link is comprised of a first conductive material; and a first dummy pattern which is located on the insulating layer and in a vicinity of the fusible conductive link, wherein the first dummy pattern is comprised of the first conductive material, wherein an interval between the fusible conductive link and the first dummy pattern is set to a predetermined distance so as to avoid contact between the fusible conductive link and the first dummy pattern after melting of the fusible conductive link by a laser, wherein the first dummy pattern is comprised of a plurality of elongate patterns, wherein the elongate patterns are lengthwise perpendicular to the fusible conductive link.
