Layout parasitic extraction tools
Can be both N-doped, and P-doped
Often with two flavors, with, and without silicide
Silicide reduces resistance of polysilicon
Use doped region as resistor
Usually without silicide
Non-linear capacitance
Tricky temperature dependence
Usually too low ohmic to be a useful resistor
Useful for "separating nets" in schematic and layout
Must be considered for power supply and ground routing (high currents)

Use foundry model
3D electro magnetic simulation often needed

Absolute value for resistors and capacitors: 10 % to 20 %
Relative precision for closely spaced devices: 0.1 % to 1 %
Relative precision for devices far apart on the same die: worse than 2 %
Resistors and Capacitors can be matched extremely well
