Sense resistor and method for forming same

An apparatus comprising:

• a sense resistor comprising:
• a plurality of parallel-coupled resistor elements, coupled between a first electrical node and a second electrical node;
• a plurality of positive voltage sense points, each positive voltage sense point configured to sense a first voltage at the first electrical node;
• and
• a plurality of negative voltage sense points, each negative voltage sense point configured to sense a second voltage at the second electrical node;
• a first passive combination network configured to combine the plurality of positive voltage sense points into a single positive sense terminal;
• and
• a second passive combination network configured to combine the plurality of negative voltage sense points into a single negative sense terminal;
• wherein the first passive combination network and the second passive combination network are arranged such that:
• a sense voltage is measurable between the single positive sense terminal and the single negative sense terminal;
• and
• a dependence of the sense voltage on a variation in current density in the parallel-coupled resistor elements is minimized.
