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

Claim 11:
12. An integrated circuit (IC) device comprising:
a first resistor comprising:
first through third metal segments extending in a first direction in a first metal layer and separated from each other by a first distance in a second direction, each of the first through third metal segments having a first width; and
a fourth 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 third metal segments to each other; and

a second resistor comprising:
fifth through seventh 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 fifth through seventh metal segments having a second width greater than the first width;
an eighth metal segment extending in the second direction in the second metal layer and configured to electrically connect the fifth and sixth metal segments to each other; and
a ninth metal segment extending in the second direction in the second metal layer and configured to electrically connect the sixth and seventh metal segments to each other, wherein
the second distance is greater than the first distance, and
the fifth metal segment is separated from one of the first or third metal segments by the first distance.
