CPC Code(s): H10D84/151



Abstract: according to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a substrate having a first surface and an insulator that surrounds a first region of the first surface. a gate electrode is on the first region and has a first resistivity. a first conductor is also on the first region. the first conductor comprises a same material as the gate electrode, but has a second resistivity that is different from the first resistivity. the resistivity may be different, for example, by either use of different dopants/impurities or different concentrations of dopants/impurities. resistivity may also be different due to inclusion of a metal silicide on the conductors or not.
