A resistor includes a resistive element including a first surface and a second surface facing opposite sides in a thickness direction; a protective film having electrical insulating properties disposed on the first surface; and a pair of electrodes disposed spaced apart from each other in a first direction perpendicular to the thickness direction, the pair of electrodes being configured to come into contact with the resistive element. The protective film includes a first outer edge and a second outer edge spaced apart from each other in the first direction and extending in a second direction perpendicular to both the thickness direction and the first direction. The resistive element includes a first slit and a second slit extending from the first surface through to the second surface and extending in the second direction. The first slit is located closest to the first outer edge; and the second slit is located closest to the second outer edge. As viewed in the thickness direction, a first distance from the first outer edge to the first slit and a second distance from the second outer edge to the second slit together have a length 15% or greater of a dimension of the protective film in the first direction.

The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to resistor trimming structures and methods of use. The structure includes: a set of resistors each of which include an increasing resistance value; and a set of switches each of which are connected to a respective resistor of the set of resistors and each of which comprise a decreasing width dimension for each resistor of increasing resistance value.
