摘要:
Integrated circuit structures including a pillar resistor disposed over a surface of a substrate, and fabrication techniques to form such a resistor in conjunction with fabrication of a transistor over the substrate. Following embodiments herein, a small resistor footprint may be achieved by orienting the resistive length orthogonally to the substrate surface. In embodiments, the vertical resistor pillar is disposed over a first end of a conductive trace, a first resistor contact is further disposed on the pillar, and a second resistor contact is disposed over a second end of a conductive trace to render the resistor footprint substantially independent of the resistance value. Formation of a resistor pillar may be integrated with a replacement gate transistor process by concurrently forming the resistor pillar and sacrificial gate out of a same material, such as polysilicon. Pillar resistor contacts may also be concurrently formed with one or more transistor contacts.
摘要:
Methods of forming resistor structures with tunable temperature coefficient of resistance are described. Those methods and structures may include forming an opening in a resistor material adjacent source/drain openings on a device substrate, forming a dielectric material between the resistor material and the source/drain openings, and modifying the resistor material, wherein a temperature coefficient resistance (TCR) of the resistor material is tuned by the modification. The modifications include adjusting a length of the resistor, forming a compound resistor structure, and forming a replacement resistor.
