Abstract

A preferred embodiment of the invention is a poly input resistor located underneath, rather than alongside, an IC wirebond pad. This offers the advantages of a more efficient layout, more contacts connecting the pad to the resistor, a better contact configuration, and a larger, higher current resistor.
