Abstract

The present disclosure describes a resistor structure with a dielectric layer, trenches, a metal layer, a semiconductor layer, and an insulating layer. The dielectric layer is disposed above electrical components formed on a substrate. The trenches are disposed in the dielectric layer and separated from each other by a dielectric region of the dielectric layer. The metal layer is disposed on a bottom surface and side surfaces of each of the trenches and on a top surface of the dielectric region. The semiconductor layer is disposed on a bottom surface, side surfaces, and a top surface of the metal layer. The insulating layer is disposed in the trenches and in contact with side surfaces of the semiconductor layer and on a top surface of the semiconductor layer.
