1. A resistor having temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) compensation, comprising:
a resistive element;
a first conductive portion connected to a first side of the resistive element, the first conductive portion having a first sensing portion adjacent to a first slot extending through the first conductive portion, the first sensing portion being located at least in part between the first slot and the resistive element,
the first slot being formed in an interior area of the first conductive portion bounded on all sides by the interior area, the first slot comprising a first portion and a second portion which are located at different positions relative to the first sensing portion, the first portion and the second portion connected with each other, the first portion extending along a first path and ending with a closed end, the second portion extending along a second path in a direction at least partially toward the resistive element and ending with a closed end, wherein the second path is different than the first path; and
a second conductive portion connected to a different side of the resistive element than the first conductive portion, the second conductive portion having a second sensing portion.
