A polysilicon fuse includes a fusing part to be fused through voltage application, a positive terminal side joint connected to one end of the fusing part and a negative terminal side joint connected to the other end of the fusing part. The positive terminal side joint that attains a high voltage through the voltage application has lower resistance and higher heat conductivity than the negative terminal side joint. Furthermore, a write operation is performed, with a current limiting resistance serially connected to a positive terminal side joint of a polysilicon fuse, by applying a voltage pulse to the polysilicon fuse through the current limiting resistance. Thus, a current flowing to the polysilicon fuse in fusing the fusing part is limited to a given range.
