Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to an integrated circuit having a substrate and a first and a second interconnect structure over the substrate. Each interconnect structure has a first conductive layer over the substrate and a second conductive layer over the first conductive layer. The integrated circuit also includes a thin film resistor over a portion of the substrate between the first and the second interconnect structure that electrically connects the first conductive layers of the first and second interconnect structures.
