A high laser absorption copper fuse can minimize the laser energy needed to delete the fuse portion of the conductor. Significantly, this type of fuse structure would allow for formation of copper fuses that can be deleted with appreciably less incident energy, mainly by increasing the absorption of the fuse link at the given incident laser energies.A metal wiring line contains a fuse link segment wherein the fuse link segment is composed of a stack of at least two metals. The underlayer material in the stack of metals is the primary electrical copper conductor, and the overlayer metal, also an electrical conductor, primarily tungsten or titanium-tungsten in composition, has predetermined thickness and optical properties chosen such that the combination of the overlayer metal with the underlayer metal provides for high absorption characteristics to incident infrared energy.Fabrication methods for providing overlaying material to the entire fuse link line, or to selective portions of the fuse link line are presented.
