A thin film resistor that has a substantially zero TCR is provided as well as a method for fabricating the same. The braking system includes at least one brake system control unit for converting an input brake command signal into a brake clamp force command signal. The edges at both ends of the cover-plate 5 have end edge-covers 7X, 8X that extend downward from the side-plate 6 top surfaces down the outer surfaces. The transition metal compound is represented by formula : .
