Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor device including a fuse element arranged on an interlayer insulating film formed on a semiconductor substrate. The fuse element is formed of polysilicon and a silicide region arranged on an upper surface of the polysilicon. A region of the polysilicon included in a range to be irradiated with a laser beam in plan view is non-doped polysilicon into which impurities are not introduced. With this structure, it is possible to provide the semiconductor device including the fuse element, which can be stably cut with a laser beam while an underlying film is not damaged.
