Abstract

PURPOSE:To alleviate excessive heating due to local concentration of currents and to make it possible to prevent wire breakdown defects of polysilicon, which is to become a resistor, by providing the resistor, which is formed in such a way that the resistance values of bonding regions that are electrically bonded to members are lower than the resistance value of a region other than the bonding regions. CONSTITUTION:A resistor 1 is formed so that the resistance values of bonding regions 21 and 23, which are electrically bonded to members 3 and 7, are lower than the resistance value of a region other than the bonding regions. For example, an element isolating silicon oxide film 15 is formed on a P-type semiconductor substrate 13. Polysilicon 1, which is to become a resistor R1 is formed thereon. An aluminum wiring 3 from an input terminal IN is contacted with the surface of one end of the resistor. An aluminum wiring 7, by which the polysilicon 1 is connected to an N-type diffused layer 5 formed in the semiconductor substrate 13, is contacted with the surface of the other end. Before the aluminum wirings 3 and 7 are contacted with the polysilicon 1, high concentration impurities are introduced in both end parts of the polysilicon, to which the aluminum wirings 3 and 7 are contacted. Thus both end parts of the polysilicon 1 are made to be the low resistance regions 21 and 23.
