Abstract

A semiconductor structure including a stacked FinFET fuse is provided in which the stacked FinFET fuse includes a plurality of vertically stacked and spaced apart conductive semiconductor fin portions and a doped epitaxial semiconductor material structure located on exposed surfaces of each conductive semiconductor fin portion of the vertical stack. In the FinFET fuse, a topmost surface of a bottom doped epitaxial semiconductor material structure is merged to a bottommost surface of an overlying doped epitaxial semiconductor material structure.
