  • Abstract
    The temperature-dependent characteristics of silicon diffused resistors are demonstrated and studied. Based on the presence of a silicide/silicon junction, the device size plays an important role on diffused resistor behaviours. From experimental and theoretical analysis, some important parameters, e.g. the interface resistance (Rinterface), sheet resistance (Rbulk), deviations of resistor length (ΔL) and width (ΔW ) are obtained. Also, anomalous phenomena of temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) are found.
