Resistor Types Base Emitter Base Pinch High-Sheet Epi Pinch Metal Poly NSD and PSD N-Well Thin Film

Base Resistors (1/2) In General: §Available in standard bipolar and analog BiCMOS §Base sheets in standard bipolar range from 100-200 ohms/sq and BiCMOS from 300-600

Base Resistors (2/2) Advantages: n

n

Base sheet is relatively precise & base resistors are doped heavily enough to minimize tank modulation Probably the best general purpose resistor available in bipolar form

Disadvantages: n

n

Capacitive coupling if not careful when routing signals Must be placed in a suitable tank of either an Nepi region in standard bipolar or an N-well in analog BiCMOS

Emitter Resistors (1/2) In General: Emitter R’s used in standard bipolar to ballast power transistors and serve as current resistors. Also used in as tunnels in single level metal processes.

Emitter Resistors (2/2) Advantages: n

n

No difficulty directly contacting the emitter diffusion Probably the best general purpose resistor available in bipolar form

Disadvantages: n

n n

Due to low sheet, it is only suitable for small resistors
