  • Passive component
    Patent number: 6529116
    Abstract: The passive component (1) has a first part (22) of a material with a first resistance value, which value can be lowered to a second value by laser trimming. The second value is at most one tenth of the first value and preferably less. The material crystallizes in a laser trimming process, which locally heats the material to at least a transition temperature. The material contains at least two different elements, which are preferably aluminum and germanium. The passive component (1) may be, for example, a resistor or a capacitor and may be part of a thin-film network of resistors, capacitors and/or inductors. In a resistor, it is preferred to have a second part (4) which contains a different resistance material with a resistance value lower than the first value and preferably higher than the second value.
