Abstract
Stacks of electrically resistive materials and related apparatuses, electrical systems, and methods are disclosed. An apparatus includes one or more resistor devices including a substrate, first and second electrically resistive materials, and an electrically insulating material between the first and second electrically resistive materials. The substrate includes a semiconductor material. A stepped trench is defined in the substrate by sidewalls and horizontal surfaces of the semiconductor material. The first electrically resistive material and the second electrically resistive material are within the stepped trench. A method of manufacturing a resistor device includes forming a stepped trench in the substrate, forming an etch stop material within the stepped trench, disposing an electrically resistive material within the stepped trench, disposing an electrically insulating material on the electrically resistive material, and repeating the disposing the electrically resistive material and the disposing the electrically insulating material operations a predetermined number of times.
