Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same are disclosed. A resistor, a lower plate of an analog capacitor and a gate electrode of a MOS transistor are simultaneously formed over a substrate where an isolation film is formed. Junction region are formed at both sides of the gate in the substrate. A dummy gate electrode over the resistor where a first insulating layer is arranged between the resistor and the dummy gate electrode and an upper plate over the lower plate where a second insulating layer is arranged between the lower and upper plates, are simultaneously formed. A metal silicide layer is then formed over the dummy gate electrode, the resistor, the gate electrode, the junction regions and the lower and upper plates of the analog capacitor.
