Abstract
The disclosure relates to integrated circuit resistors and matched resistor pairs wherein each resistor is split into plural segments, each segment having a separate field plate thereover, each segment having the field plate associated therewith connected to the non-common node thereof. In the case of the matched resistor pair, the interconnections between the segment of each resistor overlap. The segments are preferably substantially rectangular in shape with the major axes of all segments parallel to each other.
Claims18
An integrated circuit resistor, comprising:
- (a) a substrate having first and second resistor segments formed therein, each segment having a first and second end,
- (b) means electrically interconnecting the second end of said first resistor segment with the first end of the second resistor segment,
- (c) a field plate disposed over a part of said first resistor segment and electrically coupled to the first end of said second resistor segment, and
- (d) a field plate disposed over a part of said second resistor segment and electrically coupled to the second end of said second resistor segment.
