Integrated resistive element having improved linearity of resistance ratio and electronic apparatus comprising the same

Abstract

An integrated resistive element adapted to be configured as an integrated sensing unit and electronic apparatus including the same. The integrated resistive element in an embodiment includes a plurality of resistive segments disposed in or on a well formed in a substrate. The plurality of resistive segments are arranged in an array or a matrix and are configured for being electrically coupled in series with each other between a first terminal and a second terminal of the integrated resistive element. The integrated resistive element in an embodiment further includes a sensing terminal disposed between a first portion of the plurality of resistive segments and a second portion of the plurality of resistive segments and for being electrically coupled to the first portion and the second portion of the plurality of resistive segments.
