Abstract
Methods of forming a metal resistor are provided. The methods may include: depositing a metal layer, e.g., tungsten, on a substrate; and forming the metal resistor by implanting a semiconductor species, e.g., silicon and/or germanium, into the metal layer to form a semiconductor-metal alloy layer from at least a portion of the metal layer. In certain embodiments, an adhesion layer may be deposited by ALD prior to metal layer depositing. The metal resistor has a sheet resistance that remains substantially constant prior to and after subsequent annealing.
