Abstract
A method of adjusting a resistance value of a film resistor. The method includes defining, as a single resistive element, a portion of a resistive film formed over a first linear conductive film formed at a position at which a first resistance value is detected when an electric contact is slid thereto, and a second linear conductive film formed at a position at which a second resistance value is detected when the electric contact is slid thereto. The method also includes trimming a portion of the resistive element at opposite sides of the first linear conductive film in a longitudinal direction substantially perpendicular to the width direction to form first and second trimmed portions; and trimming a portion of the resistive element from an end of the second trimmed portion in the width direction toward the second linear conductive film to form a third trimmed portion.
