Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and methods of trimming resistors are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of controlling the PCR of a thin film resistor is provided. The method includes applying a first current to a resistor so as to alter a property of the resistor, and measuring the property of the resistor. Applying the first current and measuring the property of the resistor can be repeated until the PCR of the resistor is within an acceptable tolerance of a desired value for the property of the resistor.
