Abstract
Some embodiments relate to a method. In the method, a semiconductor substrate is provided. Dopant impurities of a first dopant conductivity are implanted into the semiconductor substrate to form a body region. A gate dielectric and a field oxide region are formed over the semiconductor substrate. A polysilicon layer is formed over the gate dielectric and field oxide region. The polysilicon layer is patterned to concurrently form a conductive gate electrode over the gate dielectric and a resistor structure over the field oxide region. The resistor structure is perimeterally bounded by an inner edge of the conductive gate electrode. Dopant impurities of a second dopant conductivity, which is opposite the first dopant conductivity, are implanted into the semiconductor substrate to form a source region and a drain region. The drain region is perimeterally bounded by the inner edge of the conductive gate electrode.
