Abstract

A method for fabricating a resistive load element for a semiconductor device can be used with standard semiconductor processes. A layer of second level poly is deposited and lightly doped P-type. A resist mask is used to dope selected regions of the poly layer N-type. The poly layer is then patterned to define conductors and resistive load elements. The resistive load elements are formed by back-to-back PN diodes formed at the interfaces between the P-type and N-type regions.
