Fired resistors exhibit variations which are minimised by abrasive and laser trimming. The latter may cause unstable behaviour which is further aggravated by thermal shock. The chemical structure of a thick film resistor is analysed with respect to mechanical stress, and the theoretical conclusion that the coefficient of thermal expansion of the resistor should be equal to or smaller than that of the substrate is verified experimentally. The thermal behaviour of ruthenium dioxide is examined and a range of CTE values are determined for materials of varying chemical composition. The relationship between CTE and post laser trimming stability is demonstrated on four thick film resistors which differ in thermal expansion. It is pointed out that formulations with high metallic content can absorb tensile stress by elastic deformation, thus minimising the formation or propagation of laser induced cracks.

Glass frit is a major component of thick film resistor (TFR) for the production of hybrid circuits. More than thirty commercial lead-free glass frits with different compositions have been evaluated for developing a lead-free thick film resistor that is compatible with typical industry thick film processing and has comparable electrical properties as the lead bearing counterpart. Two glass compositions were selected out of 33 candidates for preparation of RuO2 based TFR inks, which were screen printed on alumina substrates and fired at 850°C. The preliminary results of these resistors showed that the sheet resistance spanned from 400 ohms per square (Ω/□) to 0.4 mega-ohms per square (MΩ/□) with 5–15% RuO2 and the hot temperature coefficient of resistance (HTCR) fell in a range of ±350ppm/°C.
