Abstract
The present invention includes an apparatus including a thin film resistor. The thin film resistor includes a resistive component, a body, and a reactant. The resistive component includes a nickel-composite material. The body has a predetermined, sturdy shape. The body carries the resistive component. The reactant manipulates the body to enable the resistive component to adhere to the body.
Claims18
A thin film resistor comprising:
- a resistive component comprising a nickel-composite;
- a body having a predetermined shape for carrying the resistive component, wherein the body is sturdy;
