Abstract
A method of forming an electronic device includes forming an opening through a dielectric layer located over a first resistive layer, the first resistive layer having a first sheet resistance. A second resistive layer is deposited over the dielectric layer and into the opening. The second resistive layer has a second sheet resistance different from the first sheet resistance. A portion of the second resistive layer is removed, thereby forming first and second noncontiguous portions of the second resistive layer, wherein the second portion of the second resistive layer contacts the first resistive layer.
