Abstract
A method of forming an integrated circuit device can include forming a plurality of fuse wires on an integrated circuit substrate, and forming an insulating layer on the integrated circuit substrate and on the plurality of fuse wires so that the fuse wires are between the integrated circuit substrate and the insulating layer. A plurality of fuse cutting holes can be formed in the insulating layer wherein each of the fuse cutting holes exposes a target spot on a respective one of the fuse wires, and a cross-sectional area of the fuse wires can be reduced at the exposed target spots. Related structures are also discussed.
