Abstract

An integrated circuit with first and second resistors comprised of resistor bodies, resistor heads, and resistor buffer regions wherein the resistor buffer regions are disposed between the resistor body and the resistor heads. The width of the first and second resistors is different. The length of the first and second resistor buffer regions is different. The total head resistance which is equal to the resistor head resistance plus the resistor buffer region is equal for both the first and second resistors. A method is described for forming an integrated circuit with first and second resistors comprised of resistor bodies, resistor heads, and resistor buffer regions disposed between the resistor body and the resistor head wherein the width of the first and second resistors is different, wherein the length of the resistor buffer regions of the first and second resistors is different, and wherein the total head resistance which is equal to the resistor head resistance plus the resistor buffer region is equal for both the first and second resistors. A method is described for calculating the length of a resistor buffer region as a function of resistor width so that the resistance of the resistor head plus the resistor buffer region remains the same as resistor body width changes.
