<p>A method of manufacturing an electrothermal fuse includes the steps of screening conductive epoxy onto fuse link termination pads (350,370), placing a metal alloy fuse link (360) into the conductive epoxy on the termination pads, curing the conductive epoxy, applying a liquid deoxidant, applying encapsulant (380), and curing the encapsulant. In the resultant fuse comprising a substrate (305), termination pads (350,370), conductive epoxy interconnections, a solder type fuse link (360), liquid deoxidant and encapsulant (380), the fuse link is enabled by the liquid deoxidant to divide into pools of molten metal when said link melts.</p> |
