Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates generally to a resistor structure and a method of fabricating the same, and more particularly to a resistor structure having a low end resistance (low end_resistance) and a method of fabricating the same. [Prior Art] In a semiconductor wafer process, a polysilicon material is often used to form a high-impedance resistor. This resistor can replace a transistor as a load. For example, a transistor in a static random access memory (SRAM) can be replaced by a load resistor formed by polysilicon, so that the number of transistors in the SRAM is reduced, thereby achieving cost saving and integration. the goal of. Common load resistors can be broadly classified into polysilicon resistors (p〇lysmc〇n resistors) and diffusion resistors (diffusi〇n resist〇r). The polycrystalline shi resistance contains a layer of doped polycrystalline 11 and its impedance can be adjusted to control the concentration of dopants in the tantalum layer. As for the diffusion electricity, ions are implanted in the semiconductor substrate to form a doped layer, and then the ions in the doped layer are activated by thermal diffusion to adjust the impedance. In general, whether it is a polysilicon-cutting resistor or a diffusion resistor, most of them have a sandwich-like structure, and the two sides are defined as a low-impedance region, which is used to make the 1266412 contact plug of the interconnect to make the resistor and other The wires are electrically connected, and the south impedance region sandwiched between the low-impedance regions on both sides is the main structure of the resistors to provide the high impedance required in electronic components or circuit design. With the diversification of electronic products, the design of the application of the load-carrying resistor is becoming more and more complicated. For example, in an integrated circuit such as an analog/digital mixing mode or a radio frequency (radifreqUency, RF). The high impedance requirements provided by the load resistors are becoming more and more stringent. However, since the resistor structure has a similar side-end impedance at the junction of the high-impedance region and the low-impedance _, the impedance of the resistor structure, the temperature coefficient, the voltage coefficient, and the like, the length of the resistor structure itself, and the line width. The linear relationship is impacted, making the estimation of impedance accuracy more difficult, which in turn does not provide stable high impedance and affects product yield. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a resistor structure and a method of fabricating the same to provide a stable high impedance. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the resistor structure includes a substrate, and the semiconductor layer is disposed on the surface of the substrate. The surface of the semiconductor layer is defined with at least one high impedance region and a low impedance region. In addition, the semiconductor layer includes a predetermined region and a low-impedance region, a low-impedance region, a high-impedance region junction, and a portion of the high-impedance 1266412 overlap region adjacent to the low-impedance region and the high-impedance region junction. And the impurity concentration of the semiconductor layer in the predetermined region is greater than that of the other inventions, the financial system is for a substrate, and the surface formation-semiconductor layer and the surface of the semiconductor layer are defined. And - low impedance area. Then, in the semiconductor layer table = comprehensive - the first ion implantation process, and in the pre- = domain of the semiconductor layer - the second ion implantation process, so that the semiconductor layer within a predetermined degree of H is greater than other regions. The predetermined area overlaps with the low resistance two-region residual area, the high-impedance area junction, and a part of the high-impedance area adjacent to the low-impedance area and the high-impedance area junction. Since the present invention increases the doping concentration of ions in the vicinity of the junction between the high-impedance region and the low-impedance region, the side end of the resistor structure can be effectively reduced to improve the high-impedance region and the low-impedance region of the self-known resistor structure due to t/Chen Luo The difference leads to the problem of unstable impedance near the junction, which in turn can provide a stable high impedance to improve the yield of the product.

As shown in FIG. 2, the method of the present invention forms a semiconductor layer 12 on the surface of the substrate 1 and defines a direct impedance region A and two low-impedance regions B on both sides of the high-impedance region a on the surface of the semiconductor layer 12. Then, a first ion implantation process is performed, and the surface of the semiconductor layer 12 is fully doped by using n-type or p-type doping. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, a lithography process is performed to surface the semiconductor layer 12. A mask 24 formed of a photoresist is formed to cover a portion of the surface of the high-impedance region a. Subsequently, a second ion implantation process is performed to implant the semiconductor layer 12 with a dopant of the same type as the first ion implantation process.

The surface of the substrate 1 is formed with an interlayer 'I% layer 18' such as a emulsified layer or a borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG) for isolating the metal telluride layer 16 from other conductive layers. In the encapsulation process, at least one contact hole 1266412 20 connected to the metal telluride layer μ is formed in the interlayer dielectric layer 18, and a conductive layer 22 is formed on a part of the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 18 and the contact hole 20 so that The resistor is electrically connected to the wires and components formed subsequently over the interlayer dielectric layer 18 by the conductive layer 22 in the contact hole 20, and the resistor structure as shown in FIG. 1 is completed.
