Abstract
An electrical film resistor. The film resistor includes a substrate, resistive film, and first and second terminals. The first terminal includes a first electrode. The second terminal includes second and third electrodes. The second electrode is close to the first electrode, and the third electrode is spaced apart from the first electrode. Moreover, the second and third electrodes are electrically interconnected. A kerf may be cut in the resistive material to increase the resistance between the two terminals and eventually substantially electrically isolate the second electrode from the first terminal. Thereafter, kerfs may be cut in the resistive material between first and third electrodes to further increase the resistance between the two terminals.
