Abstract

A resistor for an integrated circuit (IC), an IC and a related method are disclosed. The resistor may include a metal alloy resistor body positioned within a single diffusion break (SDB). The SDB provides an isolation region in a semiconductor fin between a pair of fin-type field effect transistors (finFETs). The resistor in the SDB allows for the resistor to be built at front-end-of-line (FEOL) layers, which saves on space and expense, and allows for precise dimensions for the resistor.
