Abstract

A thin film resistor structure includes a substrate, a flat bottom ILD (inter layer dielectric) disposed on the substrate, a plurality of first contacts disposed in the bottom ILD, and each top surface of the first contacts is on the same level as a top surface of the bottom ILD; a flat top ILD disposed on the bottom ILD, a plurality of second contacts disposed in the top ILD, and each top surface of the second contacts is on the same level as a top surface of the top ILD, and a thin film resistor disposed between the bottom ILD and the top ILD.
