Abstract
An anti-fuse element that includes an insulation layer; a pair of electrode layers on the upper and lower surfaces of the insulation layer; and an extraction electrode formed so as to make contact with a section of the electrode layers that form electrostatic capacitance with the insulation layer. The anti-fuse element is configured to create a structural change section including short circuit sections that are short-circuited such that the pair of electrode layers are fused mutually to engulf the insulation layer, and a dissipation section with the electrode layers and insulation layer dissipated by engulfing the insulation layer, when a voltage not less than the breakdown voltage of the insulation layer is applied. Furthermore, the extraction electrode has at least two or more sections in contact with the electrode layer.
