Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first active region, a second active region, a first fuse and a dummy fuse. The first active region extends in a first direction, and is on a first level. The second active region extends in the first direction, is on the first level, and is separated from the first active region in a second direction different from the first direction. The first fuse extends in the first direction, is on a second level, overlaps the first active region and is electrically coupled to the first active region. The dummy fuse extends in the first direction, is on the second level, and is separated from the first fuse in the second direction. The dummy fuse overlaps the second active region, and is not electrically coupled to the second active region.
