Abstract

An IC device includes first and second resistors. The first resistor includes first and second metal segments extending in a first direction in a first metal layer, and a third metal segment extending in a second direction in a second metal layer, and electrically connecting the first and second metal segments. The second resistor includes fourth and fifth metal segments extending in the first direction in the first metal layer, and a sixth metal segment extending in the second direction in a third metal layer, and electrically connecting the fourth and fifth metal segments. The fourth and fifth metal segment have a width greater than a width of the first and second metal segments, the fourth metal segment is between the first and second metal segments and separated from the first metal segment by a distance, and a fourth and fifth metal segment separation is greater than the distance.
