Fuse for a semiconductor configuration and method for its production

摘要

A semiconductor configuration is described which includes a semiconductor body having a main surface and an insulator layer disposed on the main surface of the semiconductor body. The insulator layer has a cavity formed therein extending to the main surface of the semiconductor body. A fuse having a fusible part extends from the main surface of the semiconductor body toward an upper surface of the insulator layer at right angles to the main surface of the semiconductor body, and the fuse is embedded in the cavity. A method for producing the semiconductor configuration having the fuse is also described.
