Patent ID: 7358592

Claim:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device, comprising: a lower insulation film formed over a semiconductor substrate; a metal interconnection pattern formed over said lower insulation film; an underlying insulation film formed over said metal interconnection pattern; a contact hole formed in said underlying insulation film; and a resistor formed of a metal thin-film over said underlying insulation film so as to extend from a top surface of said underlying insulation film into said contact hole, wherein said resistor formed of a metal thin-film is in electrical contact with said metal interconnection pattern in said contact hole, wherein at least a portion of said semiconductor integrated circuit device other than said resistor formed of a metal thin-film is disposed in a region underneath said resistor formed of a metal thin-film, and wherein said metal interconnection pattern comprises a metal pattern and a refractory metal film formed at least on a top surface of said metal pattern.
