Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for trimming a resistor having a region for adjusting a resistor value capable of increasing or decreasing the resistor value of the single resistor. <P>SOLUTION: The resistor comprising a resistor pattern 41 for adjusting and a main resistor 21b is formed by screen printing a resistor paste between electrodes 11a, 11b, heating to harden them, and arranging a main resistor 21a and the predetermined number of unit resistance adjusting regions 31. The resistor value of the resistance is measured, and when the resistance value is lower than the set resistance value, the resistance adjusting part 31b of the unit resistance adjusting region 31 is cut by a laser tooling or the like to form cut grooves 51a, 51b, 51c, and 51d, which increase the resistor value. When the resistor value is high, a blank part 31a of the unit resistance adjusting region 31 is coated by a conductive paste or the resistance paste with a dispenser or the like, and hardened by heating to form conductor parts 61a and 61b, which decreases the resistor value. Either method is used to trim the resistive element. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、プリント配線板上、または配線板内に形成された抵抗体のトリミング方法に関し、特に、調整用抵抗パターンを設けることにより、抵抗値の微小増加、減少に対応できる抵抗体のトリミング方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、パーソナルコンピューター等に代表されるように、電子機器の小型化、薄型化の傾向にあり、そのような電子機器等に用いられるプリント配線板も、小型化、薄型化のために、最近では抵抗体等の回路部品を内蔵した高密度、多層回路板の開発が進められている。
特に、プリント配線板上に印刷抵抗等の抵抗体を形成する場合抵抗体の抵抗値精度にもよるが、精密測定機器に搭載される回路基板に形成される抵抗体はトリミングを行って抵抗値調整を行っている。
【0003】
一般的な抵抗体のトリミング方法は、トリミング抵抗パターンを設けて、レーザー加工等によりトリミング抵抗パターンの一部を切断して、切断溝を形成する等の方法で行われている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
図4(a)〜(f)に、一般的な抵抗体のトリミング方法の一例を示す。
図4(a)は、主抵抗パターン71の間にトリミング抵抗パターン70を設けた事例で、トリミング抵抗パターン70は主抵抗パターン71の途中の部分をU字状に蛇行させて形成された対向パターン部71a、71b間に梯子状に並列接続された複数のカット用抵抗枝部72a、72b、72c、72dを設けた構成になっている(図4(a)参照)。
抵抗体のトリミングはトリミング抵抗パターン70のカット用抵抗枝部72a、72b、72c、72dのいずれかをレーザー加工等にて完全切断加工し、カット溝81を入れることにより、段階的に抵抗を増やす形で行う。図4(b)は、カット用抵抗枝部72a、72bを切断加工して、加工溝81を入れて、抵抗体のトリミングを行った事例を示す。
【0004】
また、別の事例は、主抵抗パターン73の途中に直角に分岐させて直線状に舌片状のトリミング抵抗パターン74を設けたもので、抵抗体のトリミングはトリミング抵抗パターン74の所定位置にレーザー加工等によりカット溝82を入れて行い、カット溝82の長さを調整することにより増加抵抗値の調整を行う。
【0005】
また、別の事例は、対向する電極14a、14b間に所定幅で帯状抵抗パターン75が形成されており、抵抗体のトリミングは帯状抵抗パターン75の途中にL字状カット溝83を入れて、カット溝83の長さを調整することにより増加抵抗値の調整を行う。これは、帯状抵抗パターン75がトリミング抵抗パターンを兼ねた事例である。
【0006】
また、抵抗体のトリミング方法は、図5に示すように、対向する電極15a、15b間に所定幅で帯状抵抗体76が形成されており、帯状抵抗体76の有効長方向に沿う所定の領域に対して抵抗体76の各部位と個々に導通する複数の導体パッド16a〜16fを設けてあり、これら複数の導体パッド16a〜16fの中の任意の導体パッド16e及び16fを導体ペースト77で接続することにより、抵抗体のトリミングを行い、初期抵抗値に対して抵抗値を減少させる方法とがある(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。
【0007】
上記抵抗体のトリミング方法は、初期の抵抗値に対して抵抗値を増加させたり、減少させる個々の事例であり、これらを統合して1個の抵抗体の中で、抵抗値の増、減を調整できる抵抗体のトリミング事例は見あたらない。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of trimming a resistor formed on a printed wiring board or in a wiring board, and more particularly to a method of trimming a resistor capable of coping with a slight increase or decrease in resistance value by providing an adjusting resistor pattern. About.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, as typified by personal computers and the like, electronic devices tend to be smaller and thinner, and printed wiring boards used for such electronic devices and the like have recently been becoming smaller and thinner. Development of high-density, multilayer circuit boards incorporating circuit components such as resistors has been advanced.
In particular, when a resistor such as a printed resistor is formed on a printed wiring board, the resistor formed on a circuit board mounted on a precision measuring instrument is trimmed to a resistance value, depending on the resistance value accuracy of the resistor. Adjustments are being made.
[0003]
A general method of trimming a resistor is performed by, for example, providing a trimming resistor pattern, cutting a part of the trimming resistor pattern by laser processing or the like, and forming a cut groove (for example, Patent Document 1). 1).
4A to 4F show an example of a general method of trimming a resistor.
FIG. 4A shows an example in which a trimming resistor pattern 70 is provided between main resistor patterns 71. The trimming resistor pattern 70 is a facing pattern formed by meandering a part of the main resistor pattern 71 in a U-shape. A plurality of cutting resistor branch portions 72a, 72b, 72c, 72d connected in parallel in a ladder shape between the portions 71a, 71b are provided (see FIG. 4A).
In the trimming of the resistor, any one of the cutting resistor branches 72a, 72b, 72c, 72d of the trimming resistor pattern 70 is completely cut by laser processing or the like, and a cut groove 81 is inserted to increase the resistance stepwise. Perform in the form. FIG. 4B shows an example in which the cutting resistor branch portions 72a and 72b are cut, the processing grooves 81 are formed, and the resistor is trimmed.
[0004]
In another case, a tongue-shaped trimming resistor pattern 74 is provided at a right angle in the middle of the main resistor pattern 73, and the resistor is trimmed by a laser at a predetermined position of the trimming resistor pattern 74. The cut groove 82 is formed by processing or the like, and the increased resistance value is adjusted by adjusting the length of the cut groove 82.
[0005]
In another case, a strip-shaped resistance pattern 75 having a predetermined width is formed between the facing electrodes 14a and 14b. Trimming of the resistor is performed by inserting an L-shaped cut groove 83 in the middle of the strip-shaped resistance pattern 75, The increase resistance value is adjusted by adjusting the length of the cut groove 83. This is an example in which the belt-shaped resistance pattern 75 also serves as a trimming resistance pattern.
[0006]
As shown in FIG. 5, the resistor trimming method is such that a strip-shaped resistor 76 is formed with a predetermined width between the opposed electrodes 15a and 15b, and a predetermined region along the effective length direction of the strip-shaped resistor 76 is formed. Are provided with a plurality of conductor pads 16a to 16f that are electrically connected to respective portions of the resistor 76, and arbitrary conductor pads 16e and 16f among the plurality of conductor pads 16a to 16f are connected by a conductor paste 77. Then, there is a method of trimming the resistor to reduce the resistance value with respect to the initial resistance value (for example, see Patent Document 2).
[0007]
The above-described resistor trimming method is an individual case in which the resistance value is increased or decreased with respect to the initial resistance value, and these are integrated to increase or decrease the resistance value in one resistor. There are no examples of resistor trimming that can adjust the resistance.

The number of the cut grooves is appropriately set according to the rate of increase in the resistance value, and the above case is one example.
This is a case of trimming the resistor when the resistance value becomes lower than the set resistance value, and the adjustment width can be made larger than the case of FIG. 1C.
[0015]
