Thick Film Resistors with High TCR
Abstract
New resistor compositions prepared by using special kinds of glass, CdO and ruthenium compound have been developed. The properties of resistors prepared from various compositions were tested in relation to peak firing temperature varying in the range from 760°C up to 850°C. In this way conditions were found for resistor preparation with constant, positive and relatively high TCR (2,500 ppm/°C) and high long‐term stability at 95% relative humidity at 40°C, and with various sheet resistivity (500 ohms/sq.?3,000 ohms/sq.). This system is typical in containing only small amounts of ruthenium compound ranging from 6 wt % to 12 wt %. The resistors can be used for temperature measurement as temperature sensors.
