Abstract
Some implementations described herein include techniques and apparatus for forming a semiconductor device including a semiconductor resistor structure. The semiconductor resistor structure (e.g., a low-impedance thin-film resistor structure) may include a resistive layer having an approximately rectangular shape (e.g., a width-to-length ratio that is less than approximately one). The semiconductor resistor structure includes contact structures connected to the resistive layer, a conductive bus structure having an approximately rectangular shape that connects to the contact structures, and an electrical terminal (e.g., a routing pin) centrally located at or near an edge of the conductive bus structure.
