Abstract
An integrated polysilicon fuse and diode and methods of making the same are provided. The integrated polysilicon fuse and diode combination may be implemented in a programmable cross point fuse array.

The polysilicon diode may be isolated from a substrate and other devices, use less area on a substrate, and cost less to manufacture compared to other diodes.
