Abstract
A semiconductor device has a plurality of fuse members (1a, 1b) composed of a metal that can be cut by laser light (4), disposed over a semiconductor substrate (5). The length L of the fuse members (1a, 1b) is smaller than a value obtained by subtracting an alignment error .alpha. of the laser light (4) from a spot diameter D of the laser light (4), i.e., the value (D-.alpha.). The fuse members (1a, 1b) are spaced a distance l larger than a value obtained by adding the alignment error .alpha. to the half of the spot diameter D, i.e., the value (D/2+.alpha.).
