Thin-film conductor technology is utilized to form resistors of precisely controlled value within the interior of multi-chip modules to properly terminate network circuits which interconnect one or more chips with either output pin connections or other chips on the multi-chip module. By forming and disposing the resistors within the interior of the multi-chip module, the terminating resistors may be manufactured during the multi-chip module manufacturing process. This approach preserves valuable surface area available for interconnecting the computer chips to the multi-chip module rather than consuming scarce surface area with termination resistors and other circuit elements necessary to adapt the multi-chip module and the other computer chips to each other.
