Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: covering a resistive material with a layer of insulative material; removing portions of the insulative material from the resistive material in a pattern based on a predetermined approximate dimension and a predetermined approximate resistance value; depositing a first set of one or more conductive layers on the portions of the resistive material exposed by the patterned insulative material to form a plurality of conductive pads on the resistive material between the patterned insulative material; measuring a resistance between each set of conductive pads; removing, for each set of conductive pads, a calculated amount of additional insulative material to correspondingly expose additional portions of the resistive material adjacent the given conductive pads based upon the measured resistance between each set of conductive pads; and depositing a second set of one or more conductive layers on the first set of one or more conductive layers and the exposed additional portions of the resistive material.
