Laser recrystallized polysilicon on SiO<inf>2</inf>for high performance resistors

We demonstrate, for the first time, a technique for the fabrication of polysilicon resistors with excellent control and temperature characteristics: a standard deviation of 2.5 Ω and temperature variation of -5.6% from 25° to 125°C for 1.96 K Ω, 4.5 × 1014cm-2Boron implanted polysilicon resistors. The technique is based on fabricating resistors in laser recrystallized polysilicon on SiO2. Resistor performance is compared to that of similar resistors fabricated in standard LPCVD polysilicon and in single crystal silicon.
