    摘要: A method for increasing an electrical resistance of a resistor that is within a semiconductor structure. A fraction of a surface layer of the resistor is oxidized with oxygen particles. In an embodiment, the fraction of the surface layer is heated by a beam of particles, such that the semiconductor structure is within a chamber that includes the oxygen particles as gaseous oxygen-comprising molecules. In an embodiment, the semiconductor structure is immersed in a chemical solution which includes the oxygen particles, wherein the oxygen particles includes oxygen-comprising liquid molecules, oxygen ions, or an oxygen-comprising gas dissolved in the chemical solution under pressurization. In an embodiment, the resistor is tested to determine whether the electrical resistance of the resistor after being oxidized with the oxygen particles is within a tolerance of a predetermined target resistance.

    摘要: A method for increasing an electrical resistance of a resistor. A fraction F of an exterior surface of a surface layer of a resistor of a semiconductor structure is exposed to the nitrogen-comprising molecules. An anodization electrical circuit is formed and includes: a DC power supply, an electrolytic solution including nitrogen, and the resistor partially immersed in the electrolytic solution. The DC power supply is activated and generates a voltage output, that causes an electrolytic reaction in the electrolytic solution near the resistor. The electrolytic reaction generates nitrogen ions from the nitrogen in the electrolytic solution. The fraction F is exposed to the nitrogen ions. A portion of the surface layer is nitridized by being reacted with the nitrogen ions at a temperature above ambient room temperature such that an electrical resistance of the resistor is increased.

    摘要: A method for increasing an electrical resistance of a resistor. A semiconductor structure that includes the resistor is placed in a chamber that includes a gas including nitrogen-containing molecules at an nitrogen concentration. A fraction F of an exterior surface of a surface layer of the resistor is exposed to the nitrogen-comprising molecules. A portion of the surface layer is heated at a heating temperature. A combination of the nitrogen concentration and the heating temperature is sufficient to nitridize the portion of the surface layer by reacting the portion with the nitrogen-containing molecules. Heating the portion of the surface layer includes directing a beam of radiation or particles into the portion of the surface layer heat the portion of the surface layer. The portion of the surface layer is nitridized by being reacted with the nitrogen-containing molecules such that an electrical resistance of the resistor is increased.
