Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) includes a substrate with a semiconductor surface layer including functional circuitry having a plurality of interconnected transistors including a dielectric layer thereon with a metal stack including a plurality of metal levels over the dielectric layer. A thin film resistor (TFR) layer including at least one metal is within the metal stack. At least one capacitor is within the metal stack including a capacitor dielectric layer over a metal bottom plate formed from one of the metal levels. The capacitor top plate is formed from the TFR layer on the capacitor dielectric layer and there is at least one resistor lateral to the capacitor formed from the same TFR layer.

Claim (Index 12):
An integrated circuit (IC), comprising:\n a substrate that includes a semiconductor surface layer including functional circuitry comprising a plurality of interconnected transistors including a dielectric layer thereon with a metal stack including a plurality of metal levels over said dielectric layer; a thin film resistor (TFR) layer comprising at least one metal within said metal stack; at least one capacitor within said metal stack including a capacitor dielectric layer over a metal bottom plate formed from one of said plurality of metal levels, and a top plate for said capacitor comprising said TFR layer on said capacitor dielectric layer and at least one resistor lateral to said capacitor comprising said TFR layer; and a hardmask layer over the TFR layer.
