Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a thin film resistor structure (100) that includes a resistive element (102) electrically connecting first conductor layers (106a,b) of adjacent interconnect structures (104a,b). The resistive element is covered by a dielectric cap layer (105) that acts as a stabilizer and heat sink for the resistive element. Each interconnect includes a second conductor layer (124) over the first conductive layer. The thin film resistor includes a chromium silicon resistive element covered by a silicon nitride cap layer.
