Modern electronic devices are more and more complex and multifunctional. It could be done by producing faster and more reliable active components and increasing number of passives and interconnections' density. To form such complex devices one can embed components in substrate of printed circuit board (PCB) or build multilayer boards. The other way is to form multi-terminal passive components to spare free surface and decrease number of interconnections. Authors created three-terminal thin-film (TF) resistors embedded in PCBs and investigated their selected properties such as resistance repeatability, long term stability, pulse durability and thermal characteristics.
