Publication number: 20070012666Abstract: A method of laser trimming a semiconductor device having a plurality of thin film resistors is disclosed. The method includes choosing a linear trimming direction in which a linearly polarized laser beam will be applied to the thin film resistors to thereby create trim cuts in the thin film resistors. The linear trimming direction is chosen to ensure that the linearly polarized laser beam forms complete trim cuts in the thin film resistors and such that strip-like uncut parts are unlikely to be generated. The method also includes forming trim cuts in the thin film resistors by applying the linearly polarized laser beam to the thin film resistors in the linear trimming direction only. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the generation of strip-like uncut parts when the thin film resistor is laser-trimmed using the linearly polarized laser beam.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2006Publication date: January 18, 2007Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Michio Yamashita
