ABSTRACT:
Interconnect, i.e., BEOL structures comprising at least one thin film resistor that is located at the same level as that of a neighboring conductive interconnect are provided. The present invention also provides a method of fabricating such interconnect structures utilizing processing steps that are compatible with current interconnect processing. Moreover, the inventive method of the present invention provides better technology extendibility in terms of higher density than prior art schemes.
