Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide an electrically programmable fuse (efuse) over crystalline semiconductor material. A structure according to the disclosure includes a plurality of crystalline semiconductor layers. Each crystalline semiconductor layer includes a compound material. A metallic layer is on the plurality of crystalline semiconductor layers. The metallic layer has a lower resistivity than an uppermost layer of the plurality of crystalline semiconductor layers. A pair of gate conductors is on respective portions of the metallic layer. The metallic layer defines an electrically programmable fuse (efuse) link between the gate conductors.
