Abstract
A semiconductor wafer includes a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of die areas separated from one another by dicing areas. Each die area includes one or more metal layers above the semiconductor substrate and a plurality of fuse structures formed in at least one of the one or more metal layers. Each fuse structure includes a fuse area between first and second fuse heads. Each die area also includes a first pair of contacts connected to different areas of the first fuse head of at least some of the fuse structures. The wafer can be singulated along the dicing areas into individual dies. A corresponding method of fuse verification is also provided.
