Non-explosive flawed substrate

A resistor configuration is illustrated that has controlled electro-thermal fracture characteristics. Control is achieved by the formation of a geometrical or compositional flaw in the resistor configuration that causes fracture to originate at a lower stress magnitude than any other stress magnitud...

More Information
Summary:A resistor configuration is illustrated that has controlled electro-thermal fracture characteristics. Control is achieved by the formation of a geometrical or compositional flaw in the resistor configuration that causes fracture to originate at a lower stress magnitude than any other stress magnitude within the configuration. The flaw is located within the geometry of the resistor configuration to prevent undesirable multiple fragmentation.
