An electronic fuse ('E-fuse') cell is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The E-fuse cell has a fuse element with a fuse link extending from a first fuse terminal across a thick dielectric structure to a second fuse terminal. The first and second fuse terminals are separated from the semiconductor substrate by a thin dielectric layer.
