Printed circuit board with buried resistor and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

Disclosed are a PCB with buried or embedded resistors and a method for manufacturing the same. The PCB comprises: a resinous, electrically insulating substrate; a circuit pattern formed on the substrate; at least a pair of spaced resistor terminations, formed in a certain pattern on the substrate, each comprising a metal pad covered with a conductive protective layer; a thin-film resistor formed between the resistor terminations with electrical connection thereto; and an over-coating layer formed of one-part ink, covering the resistor and the resistor terminations. To be provided with a desired resistance, optionally, the resistor may be grooved by laser trimming. The PCB can have a desired resistor resistance which is uniform without being affected by environmental factors.
