Patent ID: 11942392
Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 17:
18. An integrated circuit (IC) device comprising:
a first resistor comprising:
first through fourth metal segments extending in a first direction in a first metal layer, wherein
the first and second metal segments are separated from each other by a first distance in a second direction,
the third and fourth metal segments are separated from each other by the first distance in the second direction, and
each of the first through fourth metal segments has a first width;

a fifth metal segment extending in the second direction in a second metal layer adjacent to the first metal layer, and configured to electrically connect the first and second metal segments to each other;
a sixth metal segment extending in the second direction in the second metal layer and configured to electrically connect the second and third metal segments to each other; and
a seventh metal segment extending in the second direction in the second metal layer and configured to electrically connect the third and fourth metal segments to each other; and

a second resistor comprising:
eighth through tenth metal segments extending in the first direction in the first metal layer and separated from each other by a second distance in the second direction, each of the eighth through tenth metal segments having a second width greater than the first width;
an eleventh metal segment extending in the second direction in the second metal layer and configured to electrically connect the eighth and ninth metal segments to each other; and
a twelfth metal segment extending in the second direction in the second metal layer and configured to electrically connect the ninth and tenth metal segments to each other,

wherein
the second distance is greater than the first distance, and
the ninth metal segment is positioned between the second and third metal segments.
