Abstract
The present disclosure provides resistor structures in sophisticated integrated circuits on the basis of an SOI architecture, wherein a very thin semiconductor layer, typically used for forming fully depleted SOI transistors, may be used as a resistor body. In this manner, significantly higher sheet resistance values may be achieved, thereby providing the potential for implementing high ohmic resistors into sophisticated integrated circuits.
