Abstract (en)

[origin: US4191938A] A method for laser trimming of resistors which includes sputter depositing or vaporizing resistor material in a limited area but the resistor geometry and trimming location is designed to achieve a maximum resistor trimming range with a minimum substrate area occupied by the resistor. A cermet resistor is fabricated on a metallized ceramic substrate with the resistor having a low length to width ratio. A laser cut is used to provide resistor values greater than 250 ohms and up to 16000 ohms.
