Abstract

PURPOSE:To remove defects to be occurred stress in passivation layer and pinholes by a method in which resistor is covered with a passivation layer of a uniform thickness and connected to plural conductors and the resistor and conductors are covered with a support layer. CONSTITUTION:The first and second passivation layers 110 and 130 are deposited on a silicon wafer 120, and then a resistor layer 140 and a conductor layer 170 are deposited on the layers 110 and 130 to form a resistor 160 and a conductor 150. An insulator layer 180 is then deposited on them, and a support layer 190 is deposited on the insulator layer 180 and fixed to the second base plate 310. The wafer 120 is removed by etching to obtain the resistor layer 160 completely covered with the uniformly flat passivation layers 110 and 130.
