A novel resistive-fuse with near ideal current-voltage characteristics
has been successfully implemented by using a single SiC/Si heterostru
cture negative-differential-resistance (NDR) diode. This novel resisti
ve-fuse possesses several advantages, including its simple structure a
nd fabrication process, very low current levels in off-operation, and
the potential for high-temperature operation.
