Patent ID: 7838966

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a substrate; a resistance pattern comprising a resistance material on the substrate, the resistance pattern comprising, first and second spaced apart base elements, wherein the first, and second base elements are substantially parallel, a bridge element connected between respective center portions of the first and second spaced apart base elements, and first, second, third, and fourth extension elements, wherein the first and second extension elements are connected to opposite ends of the first base element, extend toward the second base element and are disposed parallel with respect to the bridge element, wherein the third and fourth extension elements are, connected to opposite ends of the second base element, extend toward the first base element and are disposed parallel with respect to the bridge element, and wherein the respective first and second extension elements face the respective third and fourth extension elements; a first conductive pattern comprising a conductive material on the first base element wherein the first conductive pattern is spaced apart from an edge of the first base element adjacent the bridge element, wherein the conductive material and the resistance material are different; a second conductive pattern comprising the conductive material on the second base element wherein the second conductive pattern is spaced apart from an edge of the second base element adjacent the bridge element; an interlayer insulating layer on the resistance pattern and on the first and second conductive patterns, the interlayer insulating layer having at least one first hole therein exposing a portion of the first conductive pattern and at least one second hole therein exposing a portion of the second conductive pattern; a first conductive interconnection layer on the interlayer insulating layer electrically connected to the first conductive pattern through the at least one first hole; and a second conductive interconnection layer on the interlayer insulating layer electrically connected to the second conductive pattern through the at least one second hole.
