INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICES INCLUDING A METAL RESISTOR AND METHODS OF FORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17547700 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICES INCLUDING A METAL RESISTOR AND METHODS OF FORMING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for integrated circuit devices that include a metal resistor. The devices consist of a substrate with a first and second surface, a transistor with a gate electrode, and first and second resistor contacts. The metal resistor has a third and fourth surface, with the fourth surface being closer to the second surface of the substrate and contacting the first and second resistor contacts.

  • The patent application is for integrated circuit devices with a metal resistor.

Original Abstract Submitted

Integrated circuit devices including a metal resistor and methods of forming the same are provided. The integrated circuit devices may include a substrate including a first surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface and is parallel to the first surface, a transistor including a gate electrode, first and second resistor contacts that are spaced apart from each other in a horizontal direction that is parallel to the second surface of the substrate, and a metal resistor. The first surface of the substrate may face the gate electrode. The metal resistor may include a third surface and a fourth surface that is parallel to the third surface and the second surface of the substrate, and the fourth surface of the metal resistor may be closer to the second surface than the first surface and contacts the first and second resistor contacts.
