本発明は集積回路装置に関し、特に多結晶7リコンから
なるヒユーズを有する集積回路装置に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an integrated circuit device, and more particularly to an integrated circuit device having a fuse made of a polycrystalline 7-licon.
従来、多結晶シリコンからなるヒユーズ(以下単にヒー

は、拡散領域または、多結晶シリコン等で形成した抵抗
の微調整の手段として多く使用されており、抵抗値の違
う何種類かの抵抗に各々並列にヒユーズを接続し、順次
このヒユーズを切断することで微調整が行なわれる。Conventionally, in integrated circuit devices having fuses made of polycrystalline silicon (hereinafter simply referred to as heathers), the fuses are often used as a means for finely adjusting resistance formed in diffusion regions or polycrystalline silicon, etc. Fine adjustment is performed by connecting fuses in parallel to several types of resistors with different resistance values, and sequentially cutting the fuses.
このヒースの切断は、ヒユーズの両端に電圧を印加して
切断するか、或はレーザーにて切断する方法が用いられ
ている。The heather is cut by applying a voltage to both ends of the fuse or by using a laser.

11を除去した構造の断面図である。FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the cut portion of a commonly used integrated circuit fuse. FIG. 4 (al) is a cross-sectional view of the structure in which the phosphor glass film 4 and the Si 3 N 4 film 11, which are protective films on the upper and side surfaces of the fuse, have been removed to facilitate cutting of the fuse.
この場合、ヒユーズ3を切断したのちは第4図(blに
示すように、耐湿性向上のため切断部を含む全面に保護
膜としてS+3N4膜13等が被服される。In this case, after the fuse 3 is cut, as shown in FIG. 4 (bl), the entire surface including the cut portion is coated with an S+3N4 film 13 or the like as a protective film to improve moisture resistance.

あり信頓性上問題があった。However, when applying a voltage to a fuse with the structure shown in FIG.
When connected with high resistance (r2), reconnection may occur due to stress such as heat or electric field during operation of the integrated circuit device, which poses a reliability problem.

整した抵抗値が変化することがあるなどの欠点がある。In addition, as shown in Figure 4 (al), in the case of a structure in which a hole is drilled above the fuse, the above-mentioned problem does not occur, but since there is no protective film at the cut point, reconnection may occur due to intrusion of moisture etc. To prevent this, use a moisture-resistant case to prevent moisture from entering, or use the case shown in Figure 4 (
This can be dealt with by cutting the fuse as in bl and then covering it again with a protective film. However, the former is expensive because it uses a case with good moisture resistance, and the latter is cut with a Waeber tester and then coated with a protective film, which complicates the manufacturing process and requires the use of a protective film. This has the disadvantage that the adjusted resistance value may change.
一方第3図に示した構造のヒユーズをレーザーにて切断
する場合は、とニーズと同時にその上におる保護膜にも
穴があけられるため、再付着による問題は生じないが、
湿気等に対しては第4図(a)に示したものと同様の問
題がある。On the other hand, when cutting the fuse with the structure shown in Figure 3 using a laser, a hole is made in the overlying protective film at the same time as the fuse is cut, so there is no problem with re-adhesion.
Regarding moisture, etc., there is a problem similar to that shown in FIG. 4(a).
本発明の目的は、多結晶シリコンからなるヒエーズ企切

することにある。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an integrated circuit device that does not cause reconnection due to scattered polycrystalline silicon when a wire made of polycrystalline silicon is cut, and has good moisture resistance.
