ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device has a semiconductor substrate having a first conductivity type and a resistor having a substantially U-shaped contour and being formed from an epitaxial layer disposed on the semiconductor substrate and having a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type. A first trench is formed around an exterior of the resistor to a depth sufficient enough to reach the semiconductor substrate. A second trench is formed in an interior of the resistor to provide the resistor with the U-shaped contour. First and second insulating films are disposed in the first and second trenches, respectively. A heavily-doped region of the second conductivity type having an impurity concentration sufficient to obtain a contact with a metal wire is arranged at both ends of the resistor.
