Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss special diodes that can be made in standard logic CMOS processes. We first discuss the polysilicon diode and a close relative, the polysilicon resistor. In particular, the different temperature coefficients of resistivity (TCR) of p and n polysilicon make it possible to obtain a resistor that is temperature independent. Then we showed several examples of making Schottky diodes in logic processes and discussed their properties and applications.
