Abstract

An integrated method includes fabricating a metal gate and a polysilicon resistor structure. A photoresistor layer is defined by an SAB photo mask and covers a part of a polysilicon structure of the polysilicon resistor. When the gate conductor of a poly gate transistor is etched, the part of the polysilicon structure is protected by the patterned photoresistor layer. After the polysilicon resistor and the metal gate are formed. The polysilicon resistor still has sufficient resistance and includes two metal structures for electrical connection.
