Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes an active area including at least one active fin-type field effect transistor (FinFET), and a trench isolation adjacent to the active area. At least one inactive gate is positioned over the trench isolation. A vertically extending resistor body is positioned adjacent the at least one inactive gate over the trench isolation. A lower end of the resistor is below an upper surface of the trench isolation. The resistor reduces interconnect layer thickness to improve yield, and significantly reduces resistor footprint to enable scaling.

Abstract: A resistor body is separated from a doped well in a substrate by a resistor dielectric material layer. The doped well is defined by at least one doped region and can include a dopant gradient in the doped well to reduce parasitic capacitance of the resistor structure while retaining heat dissipation properties of the substrate. The resistor body is formed in a cavity in a dielectric layer deposited on the substrate, which deposition can be part of a concurrent fabrication, such as part of forming shallow trench isolations, and the cavity can be lined with the resistor dielectric material.

Abstract: A gate cut structure for finFETs, and a related method, are disclosed. The gate cut structure separates and electrically isolates an end of a first metal gate conductor of a first finFET from an end of a second metal gate conductor of a second finFET. The gate cut structure includes a body contacting the end of the first and second metal gate conductors. A liner spacer separates a lower portion of the body from an interlayer dielectric (ILD), and an upper portion of the body contacts the ILD. During formation, the liner spacer allows for a larger gate cut opening to be used to allow quality cleaning of the gate cut opening, but also reduction in size of the spacing between metal gate conductor ends of the finFETs. In one example, the body may have a lower portion having a width less than an upper portion thereof.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to an approach for implanting and forming a polysilicon resistor with a single implant dose. Specifically, a mask having a set of openings is formed over a resistor surface. The set of openings are typically formed in a column-row arrangement according to a predetermined pattern. Forming the mask in this manner allows the resistor surface to have multiple regions/zones. A first region is defined by the set of openings in the mask, and a second region is defined by the remaining portions of the mask. The resistor is then subjected to a single implant dose via the openings. Implanting the resistor in this manner allows the resistor to have multiple resistance values (i.e., a first resistance value in the first region, and a second resistance value in the second region).
