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