Abstract

The total resistance of a diffused resistor can be expressed in terms of bulk sheet resistance and three correction terms—namely, contact resistance, current crowding resistance in the contact region, and the contact width correction. The latter two terms have been arrived at theoretically. A new test structure has been designed to measure the metal-silicon contact sheet resistivity and the contact resistance of the resistor. The maximum current density in the contact region is also determined experimentally.
