Burning off resistor areas on a semiconductor chip with a laser in order to get an extremely precise value of resistance is referred to as
A) laser trimming.
B) resistor chipping.
C) buffering.
D) guard driving.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Laser trimming is the process by which a laser is used to remove portions of a resistor on a semiconductor chip to obtain a precise value of resistance. It is a common technique used in microelectronics manufacturing. Resistor chipping, buffering, and guard driving are not relevant or correct answers.
