Disclosed is a radio frequency (RF) switch that includes a substrate and a plurality of elongated drain/source (D/S) diffusion regions laterally disposed in parallel with one another and separated by a plurality of elongated channel regions. A plurality of elongated D/S resistor regions extends between an adjacent pair of plurality of elongated D/S diffusion regions, and a plurality of elongated gate structures resides over corresponding ones of the elongated channel regions. A silicide layer resides over a majority of at least top surfaces of the plurality of the elongated D/S diffusion regions and the plurality of elongated gate structures, wherein less than a majority of each of the plurality of the elongated D/S resistor regions are covered by the silicide layer.
