A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a fuse region and an interconnection region, a first insulating layer formed in the fuse region and the interconnection region, a fuse pattern formed on the first insulating layer in the fuse region, the fuse pattern including a first conductive pattern and a first capping pattern, an interconnection pattern formed on the first insulating layer in the interconnection region, including a second conductive pattern and a second capping pattern, and having a thickness greater than the thickness of the fuse pattern, and a second insulating layer formed on the first insulating layer and covering the fuse pattern.

Semiconductor device having fuse pattern and methods of fabricating the same

Integrated circuit devices are provided including an integrated circuit substrate and first through fourth spaced apart lower interconnects on the integrated circuit substrate. The third and fourth spaced apart lower interconnects are parallel to the first and second lower interconnects. A first fuse is provided on the first and second lower interconnects between the first and second lower interconnects and is electrically coupled to the first and second lower interconnects. A second fuse is provided spaced apart from the first fuse and on the third and fourth lower interconnects. The second fuse is between the third and fourth lower interconnects and is electrically coupled to the third and fourth lower interconnects. Related methods of fabricating integrated circuit devices are also provided.
