Abstract:
1. A semiconductor apparatus comprising: an insulating film including: a thin-metal-film resistor element formed on the insulating film; a wiring pattern arranged underneath the insulating film at regions corresponding to two opposite edges of the thin-metal-film resistor element; and connection holes formed in the insulating film at regions corresponding to the two opposite edges of the thin-metal-film resistor element and to the wiring pattern, wherein the thin-metal-film resistor element continuously overlays and contacts a surface of the insulating film, inner walls of the connection holes, and the wiring pattern at a bottom region of the connection holes, and wherein the spin-on-glass film is extended in at least part of a region where the thin-metal-film resistor element continuously overlays and contacts a surface of the insulating film, inner walls of the connection holes, and the wiring pattern at a bottom region of the connection holes.
