A method of forming an IC includes providing a field dielectric in a portion of a semiconductor surface, a bipolar or Schottky diode (BSD) class device area, a CMOS transistor area, and a resistor area. A polysilicon layer is deposited to provide a polysilicon gate area for MOS transistors in the CMOS transistor area, over the BSD class device area, and over the field dielectric for providing a polysilicon resistor in the resistor area. A first mask pattern is formed on the polysilicon layer. Using the first mask pattern, first implanting (I1) of the polysilicon resistor providing a first projected range (RP1)<a thickness of the polysilicon layer and second implanting (I2) providing a second RP (RP2), where RP2>RP1. I2 provides a CMOS implant into the semiconductor surface layer in the CMOS transistor area and/or a BSD implant into the semiconductor surface layer in the BSD area.
