Patent ID: 7955943

Claim:
A method of forming a resistor of a semiconductor device comprising: providing a substrate of a first semiconductor material having a first conductivity type; forming a first doped region of a second conductivity type on a first portion of the substrate; forming a first resistor by forming a second semiconductor material overlying a first portion of the first doped region wherein the second semiconductor material is formed in an elongated pattern having first and second sides wherein a first side of a first portion of the second semiconductor material is spaced a first distance from a first side of a second portion of the second semiconductor material forming a space between the first and second portions of the second semiconductor material and wherein the second semiconductor material is not formed as a doped region within the substrate; forming a dielectric overlying the first portion and the second portion of the second semiconductor material and overlying the space; forming a conductor overlying the dielectric wherein a first portion of the conductor overlies at least a portion of the space between the first and second portions of the second semiconductor material and wherein a first section of the first portion of the second semiconductor material and a first section of the second portion of the second semiconductor material are not underlying the first portion of the conductor; and coupling the conductor to receive a voltage having a potential.
