Abstract

In an integrated circuit device and method of manufacturing the same, a resistor pattern is positioned on a device isolation layer of a substrate. The resistor pattern includes a resistor body positioned in a recess portion of the device isolation layer and a connector making contact with the resistor body and positioned on the device isolation layer around the recess portion. The connector has a metal silicide pattern having electric resistance lower than that of the resistor body at an upper portion. A gate pattern is positioned on the active region of the substrate and includes the metal silicide pattern at an upper portion. A resistor interconnection is provided to make contact with the connector of the resistor pattern. A contact resistance between the connector and the resistor interconnection is reduced.
