Patent number: 9496325Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a resistor on a substrate formed substantially simultaneously with other device elements, such as one or more transistors. A diffusion barrier layer deposited on a substrate is patterned to form a resistor and barrier layers under a transistor gate. A filler material, a first connector, and a second connector are formed on the resistor in a substantially similar manner as that used to form the gate of the transistor. The filler material is removed.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2012Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Hua Feng Chen, Shu-Hui Wang, Mu-Chi Chiang
