Abstract
A new switching device has been conceived and reduced to practice. Thi s device is a once-programmable three-terminal fuse (TTF) with an on-r esistance of a good metallic conductor and an off-resistance which is essentially infinite. In the new structure the fusible circuit path is fully isolated from a control electrode both before and after program ming. We discuss the basic concept of the TTF and highlight some of it s possible applications.
