Abstract:
1. An embedded resistor device comprising: a first dielectric layer, second dielectric layer and a ground plane disposed therebetween; a resistor material disposed on the first dielectric layer such that the first dielectric layer is between the resistor material and the ground plane, the resistor material including a first end, second end and a pair of sides therebetween; a conductive region disposed on the second dielectric layer such that the second dielectric layer is between the conductive region and the ground plane; a conductive wire disposed on the first dielectric layer and coupled to the first end of the resistor material, the conductive wire having a path that extends along at least one of the sides of the resistor material such that the conductive wire at least partially surrounds or neighbors the resistor material; and a conductive path extending through the first dielectric layer, ground plane and second dielectric layer, the conductive path electrically coupling the conductive wire and conductive region.
