Abstract

The electrical fuse can be blown with a small current. [Solution] The metal film 120 is connected to the wiring 110 via via 115 and to the wiring 130 via via 125. A cutting transistor is connected to the wiring 130. The contact surface area of ​​via 115 that contacts the metal film 120 is smaller than the contact surface area of ​​via 125 that contacts the metal film 120.
