Abstract

See full text

A method for fabricating polycrystalline silicon resistor structures includes steps directed to the provision of a polycrystalline silicon structure having a decreased width. In one embodiment, sidewall spacers are used to narrow a region in which the polycrystalline silicon resistors are formed. In an alternative embodiment, polycrystalline silicon resistors are formed as sidewall structures in a resistor region. Use of either technique provides a reduced cross-section for the resistor structures, allowing shorter resistors to be used, or providing increased resistance for longer resistors.
