Figure 1A The high-power thin-film resistor 100 is a cross-sectional view obtained by taking the line AA' shown in FIG. The high-power thin-film resistor 100 includes a substrate 110, a resistor layer 120, an internal electrode layer 130, a passivation layer 140, a thermal conductive layer 150, a back-side internal electrode layer 160, a plurality of protective layers 170 (e.g., a first protective layer 170a and a second protective layer 170b), two connection layers 180, and two external electrodes 190.

[0024] like Figure 1B As shown, the resistor layer 120 is disposed above the substrate 110, the internal electrode layer 130 is disposed above the resistor layer 120, and includes internal electrode regions 130a and 130d at both ends and internal electrode regions 130b and 130c in the middle, the passivation layer 140 covers the resistor layer 120 and a portion of the internal electrode layer 130, and the thermal conductive layer 150 is disposed above the passivation layer 140 and contacts the internal electrode regions 130a and 130d at both ends of the internal electrode layer 130 below, so that the heat generated by the high-power thin-film resistor 100 can be directly conducted from the internal electrode regions 130a and 130d at both ends of the internal electrode layer 130 to the thermal conductive layer 150, and then the thermal conductive layer 150 conducts the heat to the connecting layer 180, the external electrode 190 and the external circuit or printed circuit board. In addition, portions of the surfaces of the thermal conductive layer 150 and the back inner electrode layer 160 are covered by the protective layer 170, and the two connecting layers 180 are respectively connected to the corresponding side walls of the substrate 110, the resistor layer 120, the inner electrode layer 130, the thermal conductive layer 150 and the back inner electrode layer 160 on both sides, and finally the two external electrodes 190 cover these layers from the outermost layer.

[0027] The passivation layer 140 can transform the metal surface into a state that is not easily oxidized, thereby delaying the corrosion rate of the metal, thereby protecting the underlying resistor layer 120 and the internal electrode layer 130. The material of the passivation layer 140 can be one or more layers of silicon dioxide (SiO2), silicon nitride (SiN), silicon oxynitride (SiON), tantalum oxide (Ta2O) or other insulating oxides, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The heat-conducting layer 150 is composed of a metal material with high thermal conductivity (e.g., copper or aluminum, etc.), so that the heat generated by the resistor layer 120 can be discharged more quickly, thereby improving the power tolerance of the high-power thin-film resistor 100.

[0029] The protective layer 170 can prevent the heat conductive layer 150 and the back inner electrode layer 160 from being polluted or oxidized by the environment, and achieve the effect of insulation protection. The material of the protective layer 170 includes but is not limited to epoxy resin, polyimide, acrylic resin or other insulating materials.

The structure of the external electrode 190 includes a copper metal layer 151, a nickel metal layer and a tin metal layer formed in sequence by an electroplating process, wherein the copper metal layer 151 is used as another heat conductive layer to improve the thermal conductivity of the high-power thin film resistor 100, and the outermost tin metal layer provides the function of soldering and bonding between the high-power thin film resistor 100 and the external circuit board.

[0031] exist Figure 2A , a top view schematic diagram of the resistor layer 120 and the internal electrode layer 130 of the high-power thin film resistor 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention is further illustrated. The internal electrode layer 130 includes two end internal electrode regions 130a, 130d and middle internal electrode regions 130b, 130c, dividing the resistor layer 120 below into two end resistor regions 120a, 120c close to the two end internal electrode regions 130a, 130d and a middle resistor region 120b. The two end resistor regions 120a, 120c and the middle resistor region 120b of the resistor layer 120 each include at least one trimming region 121 for adjusting the resistance to obtain the target resistance of each resistor region. In this embodiment, the two end resistor regions 120a, 120c are designed as a double bending pattern, and the middle resistor region 120b is designed as a diagonal line pattern, so that the width of the cross-sectional area in the resistance formula is increased, thereby achieving a lower target resistance.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the substrate length of the high-power thin film resistor 100 is L, wherein the length L1 of the inner electrode region is less than the length L2, and the length L2 is less than 1 / 4L; the length L3 is between 1 / 4L and 1 / 3L; the length L4 is between 1 / 2L and 3 / 5L. The width of the high-power thin film resistor 100 is W, wherein the width W1 is between 4 / 5W and 9 / 10W; the width W2 is between 3 / 5W and 3 / 4W; the width W3 is the width of the inner electrode regions 130a and 130d at both ends, which is between 1 / 3W and 1 / 2W; the width W4 is between 1 / 2W1 and 3 / 4W1.

[0033] exist Figure 2B , a schematic diagram of the equivalent resistance of the resistance layer 120 of the high power thin film resistor 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention is further illustrated. The total resistance value R of the high power thin film resistor 100 is T It can be equivalent to the resistance values ​​of the two-end resistance areas 120a, 120c and the middle resistance area 120b being connected in series. In the embodiment of the present invention, the resistance value of the two-end resistance area 120a is R1, the resistance value of the middle resistance area 120b is R2, and the resistance value of the two-end resistance area 120c is R3, and the resistance value R1 of the two-end resistance area 120a is equal to the resistance value R3 of the two-end resistance area 120c, so that the heat generated by the resistance layer 120 can be evenly distributed in the entire high-power thin-film resistor 100, and more than 50% of the heat can be directly conducted to the external circuit by the two-end internal electrode areas 130a, 130d of the internal electrode layer 130. In some preferred embodiments, the design range of the resistance values ​​R1, R2 and R3 is 1 / 4R≤R1=R3≤1 / 3R.

[0034] exist Figure 3, a top perspective view of the heat-conducting layer 150 and the resistor layer 120 of the high-power thin-film resistor 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention is further illustrated. The heat-conducting layer 150 is disposed above the side of the resistor layer 120 having the trimming area 121, and the trimming areas 121 of the resistor areas 120a and 120c at both ends of the resistor layer 120 and the middle resistor area 120b are all located below the area of ​​the heat-conducting layer 150. Since the trimming area 121 is usually a heat-concentrated area, placing the trimming area 121 below the area of ​​the heat-conducting layer 150 is beneficial to the overall heat dissipation of the high-power thin-film resistor 100, so that the heat generated by the trimming area 121 can be directly conducted to the heat-conducting layer 150 through the passivation layer 140, and then conducted to the external circuit through the heat-conducting layer 150. In an embodiment of the present invention, the width of the high-power thin-film resistor 100 is W, and the substrate length is L, wherein the thermal conductive layer 150 has a width W5 and a length L6, and the width W5 is between the range of 4 / 5W and 9 / 10W, and the length L6 is between the range of 1 / 3L and 9 / 10W, and covers the two end resistance areas 120a, 120c of the resistance layer 120 and the trimming area 121 of the middle resistance area 120b.

[0040] Please refer to Fig. 5F , then the resistance adjustment operation is performed on the upper portions of the two-end resistance regions 120a, 120c and the middle resistance region 120b by laser trimming or physical processing to obtain the desired target resistance value in the trimmed resistance region 121 (the resistance value of the two-end resistance region 120a is R1, the resistance value of the middle resistance region 120b is R2, and the resistance value of the two-end resistance region 120c is R3). As shown in the figure, the trimming process cuts the two-end resistance regions 120a, 120c and the middle resistance region 120b, and forms a plurality of grooves (i.e., the trimmed resistance region 121) thereon.
