Abstract
A resistor may be embedded into a substrate. A portion of the resistor may be exposed, by segmenting the substrate, for instance, so that the resistor may be trimmed to a desired resistance level. Alternatively, a portion of a resistor may be embedded into a substrate, with another portion of the resistor being disposed on the outer surface of the substrate. The portion of the resistor on the outer surface may be trimmed to adjust the resistance of the resistor to a desired level.
