Abstract

A thin film resistor is formed to have very accurately defined dimensions which, in turn, allow the resistive value of the resistor to be very accurately defined. The resistor is formed on spaced-apart conductive pads which, in turn, are electrically connected to conductive plugs that are spaced apart from the resistor.
