1. A resistor with temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) compensation, the resistor comprising:

  • a resistive strip disposed between a first conductive strip and a second conductive strip;

    a first voltage sense terminal and a first main terminal formed in the first conductive strip separated by a first slot at a first side edge of the first conductive strip;

    a second voltage sense terminal and a second main terminal formed in the second conductive strip separated by a second slot at a second side edge of the second conductive strip, the first side edge of the first conductive strip and the second side edge of the second conductive strip being on opposite ends of the resistor;

    the first voltage sense terminal and the first main terminal formed contiguously in the first conductive strip, and the second voltage sense terminal and the second main terminal formed contiguously in the second conductive strip;

    the resistive strip comprising a third slot positioned between the first and second voltage sense terminals, a depth of the third slot configured to adjust a TCR value of the resistor; and

    ,the resistive strip comprising a fourth slot positioned between the first and second main terminals, a depth of the fourth slot configured to adjust a resistance value of the resistor.
