Abstract:
A resistor construction comprising:a resistor node;a resistor gate overlying and electrically contacting the resistor node, the resistor gate having a top surface;a first electrically insulating layer disposed outwardly of the resistor node and the resistor gate, the first insulating layer comprising a first material;a contact opening disposed within the first electrically insulating layer, the contact opening exposing a first portion of the top surface and having a first width;a second electrically insulating layer, disposed within the contact opening in the form of a spacer to define a second width of the contact opening, the second insulating material comprising a second material different than the first material; anda first electrically conductive material disposed within and filling the contact opening, the first electrically conductive material in electrical contact with the exposed top surface and having a first resistance appropriate to provide a desired resistive current flow.
