Abstract
A surface mount component can include a monolithic substrate, an input terminal, an output terminal, and a DC bias terminal. Each terminal can be formed over the monolithic substrate. A conductive trace can be formed over a surface of the monolithic substrate included in a signal path between the input terminal and the output terminal. A thin-film resistor can be connected in a DC bias path between the DC bias terminal and the signal path. The DC bias path can have, at one or more locations along the DC bias path between the DC bias terminal and the signal path, a cross-sectional area in a plane that is perpendicular to the surface of the monolithic substrate. The cross-sectional area of the DC bias path can be less than about 1,000 square microns.
