摘要: This paper describes the fabrication and measurement of linewidths reference segments cross-bridge resistors patterned in [100] Bonded Etched Back Silicon-on-Insulator (BESOI) material. The critical dimensions (CD) a selection resistor test structures were measured both electrically by Scanning-Electron Microscopy (SEM) cross-section imaging.
