<p>A method of forming a semiconductor device, such as a self-passivating fuse, includes patterning an opening in a dielectric to form a fuse. A seed-layer of a copper-alloy is deposited in the opening and the opening is filled with pure copper. The copper is planarized and a passivation layer is deposited. This passivation layer can be thinned over a fuse portion of the copper. The fuse portion can then be laser fused to form a crater in an area surrounding a blown copper fuse. Exposed portions of the pure copper can then be self-passivated by annealing the device.</p> |
