Resistive vias in a substrate

摘要

A rigid substrate board (105) having at least one layer with first (106) and second (107) opposing surfaces. At least one bore is formed in the layer and extending from the first surface (106) to the second surface (107). A resistive material is disposed within the bore and fills the bore to form a resistor (140). Further, a first conductor (115) is disposed on the first surface (106) to form an electrical connection with a first end of the resistor (140), and a second conductor (120) is disposed on the second surface to form an electrical connection with a second end of the resistor. A plurality of resistors (140) can be formed in the substrate layer (105) and interconnected to define a resistive network.
