Abstract
The present invention discloses a resistive circuit. The resistive circuit includes a plurality of resistor networks disposed on a substrate. The resistor networks also includes a plurality of resistive circuit elements. The resistor networks further includes a plurality of termination contacts each connected to one of the resistive circuit elements. Each of the termination contacts is disposed on an edge of the substrate and each of the termination contacts is separated from a next termination contact by an edge trench disposed on the edge of the substrate whereby a distance across the edge trench defining a pitch between the termination contacts.
