Abstract

A method that enables the fabrication of ballast resistors in polysilicon which can be fabricated in a manner so as to not relax the strained layers in the lattice of the silicon germanium transistor wherein the high temperature steps, associated with activating dopants to fabricate resistors with desired resistance values, are performed prior to the deposited epitaxial layers of silicon germanium.
