1. A method for the fabrication of an inorganic resistor on a substrate, comprising the steps of:
(a) providing a substrate;
(b) depositing a resistor precursor composition onto said substrate using a direct-write tool, said resistor precursor composition having a viscosity of not greater than about 100 centipoise and comprising:
i) at least a first molecular precursor compound; and
ii) at least first particles selected from the group consisting of metal particles, metal oxide particles and carbon and carbon particles;
(c) heating said resistor precursor composition to a temperature of not greater than about 350° C. to convert said resistor precursor composition to an inorganic resistor.
