Zusammenfassung:A design structure for an apparatus for programming an electronically programmable semiconductor fuse. The apparatus applies a programming current to a fuse link as a series of multiple pulses. Application of the programming current as a series of multiple short pulses provides a level of programming current sufficiently high to ensure reliable and effective electromigration while avoiding exceeding temperature limits of the fuse link.
