diffusion resistor

There is one p+diffusion resister in nwell.How to connect nwell?

a.floating
b.vdd
c.gnd
d.1/2 vdd
 

n-well should be connected a higher voltage source than p-well resistor is connected so that pn junction should not turn on. In general it is connected to highest voltage in the circuit.

Your possible answers does not make sense since nothing is a game. For example if you want to short your circuitry to gnd than connect n-well to ground.
 

you'll find an answer to your question in the process manual. it is usually a pdf file. this kind of information you need varies from different processes.
 

Hello:

To me, always tie Nwell to VDD whenever possible.
Reason:
(1) Tie to other voltage has opportunity of potential latch-up.
(2) least parasitic capacitance.
(3) Never forward bias.

Good luck,
 

In 《the art of analog layout》page 169,there's introduction of diffused resistor,
and figure 5.11 gives some examples.
