This paper describes a new series of thick film resistors based on a ruthenium-compound semiconducting phase, dispersed in a carefully selected and compatible glassy matrix. Analysis of the electrical properties of these resistors indicates that the conducting networks present in the structure include ohmic, non-ohmic and insulating barriers.Experimental results on the resistors are discussed in terms of resistivity and TCR vs. firing parameters. The effect of termination materials and resistor geometry, voltage coefficient of resistance, power loading and high voltage properties are also discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to study high voltage interactions in polymer thick film resistors, namely, polyvinyl chloride- (PVC-) graphite thick film resistors, and their applications in universal trimming of these resistors. High voltages in the form of impulses for various pulse durations and with different amplitudes have been applied to polymer thick film resistors and we observed the variation of resistance of these resistors with high voltages. It has been found that the resistance of polymer thick film resistors decreases in the case of higher resistivity materials and the resistance of polymer thick film resistor increases in the case of lower resistivity materials when high voltage impulses are applied to them. It has been also found that multiple high voltage pulse (MHVP) stressing can be used to trim the polymer thick film resistors either upwards or downwards.
