Film type resistor and method of producing same

A resistor adapted to be integrally formed with at least one other electrical network component on a planar substrate, said resistor comprising a first conductive terminal coupled to said at least one other component, a second conductive terminal, a first layer of insulative material intermediate said first and second terminals for supporting said second terminal, said first layer having an opening therein overlaying said first terminal, and a second layer of resistive material extending over said first layer, said resistive material being coupled to said first terminal through said opening thereby defining a first terminal area on said second layer, and to said second terminal thereby defining a second terminal area on said second layer, wherein a desired network parameter is obtained when said resistive material is removed from said second layer over a convoluted path surrounding said first terminal area to define a corresponding resistive path of sufficient length along said second layer to obtain said desired parameter.
