The linked reference is ugly marketing hype. The copy is borderline unethical. One should sell by promoting the virtues of one's product, not by denigrating one's competitor's. Some of the statements are false as well:"This fabrication process can not create parts like the 1% tolerant metal film resistor, or the super stable silver mica capacitor (please see table above to compare how discrete parts are different to their intergraded substitute) Since they are all connected (hence integrated) they can not be individually tested and matched."
A well known technique is to laser trim the components of an IC. There are many patents on various ways of doing this that go back to the 1970's, as can be readily seen by a simple search of the US Patent data base.
Burson may (or may not) produce good sounding products and their engineers may or may not be competent and ethical, but their marketing department and by extension senior management are unethical. Accordingly, I would not do business with them based on this single web page.
