Abstract
In some embodiments, a semiconductor device includes a fuse having a conductive portion configured to be blown when a current exceeding a rated value flows through the conductive portion, a first monitor wiring configured to monitor blowing of the conductive portion of the fuse, and a second monitor wiring configured to monitor blowing of the conductive portion of the fuse. The first monitor wiring and the second monitor wiring are connected to the conductive portion of the fuse so as to be away from a longitudinal center of the conductive portion.
