Abstract
A method for creating large area, thick film resistors with improved predictability and uniformity. “Tent poles” are employed during the printing of the large area resistors to prop up the screen mesh to ensure the resultant resistor does not have a scooped out center portion. The tent poles can be made from gold pads, resistor spots or emulsion spots.
