Abstract
A resistor trimming method includes the steps of: forming a first slit from an edge of a resistor interconnecting first and second electrodes provided on an insulating substrate in the proximity of and parallel to the first electrode; forming a second slit as a continuation of the first slit toward to the second electrode perpendicularly to the first slit; forming a third slit from a point of the edge of the resistor and parallel to the first electrode, the point being shifted from the first slit toward the second electrode, the third slit having a greater length than the first slit in a direction along the first electrode; and forming a fourth slit as a continuation of the third slit toward to the second electrodes perpendicularly to the first slit.
