Abstract
Unit resistors are widely used in matching-critical applications. In good designs, matching performance is dominantly determined by the characteristics of the unit resistor. In this paper, a strategy for statistically characterizing the performance of unit resistors that combines the effects of contact resistance, contact size variations, sheet resistance and edge variations is introduced
