SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF

摘要

The semiconductor device (100) comprises at least one semiconductor element (20), a metallization structure comprising a first (31) and a second line (32) and extending thereon a resistor. An electrically insulating protection layer (36) is present on the resistor (35) and is defined in a pattern that is substantially identical to the resistor pattern and has a temperature stability up to a temperature that is at least equal to a deposition temperature of a passivation layer (37) to be deposited thereon so as to cover the metallization structure. Both the resistor (35) and the protection layer (36) are deposited conformally on the metallization structure and any underlying substrate.
