Abstract

An improved resistor for use in MOS integrated circuits. An opening is formed in an insulative layer which separates two conductive regions. A plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of passivation material such as silicon-rich silicon nitride is deposited in the window, contacting both conductive regions and providing resistance in a vertical direction between these regions.
