Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 5:
6. The IC device of claim 5, wherein
the first resistor further comprises:
a seventh metal segment positioned in the first metal layer, extending in the first direction, and having the first width; and
an eighth metal segment positioned in the second metal layer, extending in the second direction, and configured to electrically connect the second and seventh metal segments to each other,

the IC device further comprises a ninth metal segment positioned in the first metal layer, extending in the first direction between the second and seventh metal segments, and having the first width, and
the ninth metal segment is separated from each of the second and seventh metal segments by the first distance and electrically isolated from each of the first and second resistors.
