Laser trimming can be performed on conventionally processed linear circuits to improve both yield and performance. A study was made comparing aluminum links and polysilicon fuses as well as trimming polysilicon resistors. Material performance over a range of link widths, passivation layer thicknesses, laser energies and laser pulse width were investigated.
