ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR TRIMMING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS ON A SUBSTRATE

摘要

A method and apparatus for trimming a discrete surface-mounted component or a component integrated in a substrate including providing a trimmable structure mounted on the surface of a substrate for each component to be trimmed. In an exemplary embodiment, the component to be trimmed is a capacitor. In another exemplary embodiment, the trimmable structure is one electrode of a trimmable capacitor whose other electrode is integrated in the substrate, and the trimmable capacitor is connected in parallel with a surface mounted capacitor to be trimmed.
