Claim Text:
1. A resistor, comprising: a first material layer comprising at least one of a metal and a metal compound, said first material layer positioned above a substrate; a second material layer comprising a semiconductor material, said second material layer positioned above said first material layer, said second material layer comprising a first doped sub-layer and a second doped sub-layer positioned above said first doped sub-layer, wherein said first doped sub-layer is doped with a dopant of a first conductivity type and said second doped sub-layer is doped with a dopant of a second conductivity type, said second conductivity type being opposite to said first conductivity type; and a first contact structure and a second contact structure, each of said first contact structure and said second contact structure providing an electrical connection to said second doped sub-layer of said second material layer.
