Abstract

A device having a resistor and a heater disposed proximate to the resistor and capable of raising the temperature of the resistor. The device further includes a dieletric disposed between the heater and the resistor and a tuner electrically coupled to the resistor. The heater adjusts the resistance of the resistor in response to the tuner.
