1. A thin film resistor structure, comprising:
- a substrate;
a flat bottom ILD (inter layer dielectric) disposed on the substrate;
a plurality of first contacts disposed in the bottom ILD, and each top surface of the first contacts is on the same level as a top surface of the bottom ILD;
a flat top ILD disposed on the bottom ILD;
a plurality of second contact disposed in the top ILD, and each top surface of the second contacts is on the same level as a top surface of the top ILD;
a thin film resistor disposed between the bottom ILD and the top ILD;
a stop layer disposed between the bottom ILD and the top ILD, the thin film resistor being disposed on the stop layer; and
at least one second contact penetrating through the thin film resistor and touching the surface of the stop layer.
