[Prior Art] In recent memory circuits, if there is a defective bit, it is connected to a spare redundant circuit, but at this time, it is blown out at a current density of about 1010 A/cm2, so there are many parts that make up the fuse. This often causes problems such as crystalline silicon (poly-Si) scattering on the device and poor cutting because it is highly dependent on the fuse width.
