  • Method for altering electrical and thermal properties of resistive materials
    Patent number: 8723637
    Abstract: A method for altering a resistance of a resistor including trimming the resistor using a first type of trim approach to increase a resistance measurement of the resistor to above a target resistance value, and iteratively trimming the resistor using a second type of trim approach until a power coefficient of resistance (PCR) or temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) measurement of the resistor is substantially close to zero.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 20, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 13, 2014
    Assignee: Analog Devices, Inc.
    Inventors: Fergus John Downey, Neville Craig, Patrick McGuinness, Patrick Elebert
