Abstract:
1. A circuit comprising: a plurality of circuit elements, a first element comprising a first electric terminal, and a second circuit element comprising a second electric terminal; a resistor layer in which a resistor element having a predetermined length is formed thereon, a first end of said resistor element is connected to said first electric terminal, and a second end of said resistor element is connected to said second terminal; and a metal layer in which a metal portion is formed thereon, a first end of said metal portion is connected to a first portion of said resistor element through a first VIA, and a second end of said metal portion is connected to a second portion of said resistor element through a second VIA, shortcutting said resistor element by connecting said first portion and second portion by said metal portion to determine a resistance value of said resistor element.
