The invention is directed to a barium borosilicate glass which is free of Bi, Cd and Pb. The glass is especially useful as a binder for thick film resistor compositions in which it also serves to adjust the TCR of resistors made therefrom.

The resistance thermometer element is made by forming a serpentine pattern 16,18,20 of a thin film of a metal such as platinum deposited on a substrate 10. The deposited metal has a bulk temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) substantially greaterthan the desired TCR which is established by controlling the thickness of the film to the correct value in a range of thicknesses where TCR changes relatively rapidly with thickness, eg the range 0.05 to 0.8 microns for platinum. The required thickness may be established by deposition at a control rate for a controlled time or by over deposition followed by reduction in thickness by etching. The calibration resistance at the ice point is then independently established by selective removal of shorting links in parts 22, 24, 26, 28 of the pattern.
摘要:
Electro-thermal trimming of thermally-trimmable resistors is used to trim one or more of the plurality of resistors in or associated with an analog electric circuit. The TCR of each of a subset of a plurality of electro-thermally-trimmable resistors can be trimmed independently from the resistance in order to adjust the output parameter of an analog electric circuit without changing other parameters that would be affected by a change in resistance.

There is described a method and circuit for determining a temperature coefficient of change of a parameter of an electrical component, the method comprising: providing at least one thermally-isolated micro-platform on a substrate; placing an electrical component on the at least one thermally-isolated micro-platform; heating the electrical component; measuring a parameter value of the electrical component at a plurality of temperatures; and determining the temperature coefficient based on the measured parameter values.
摘要:
There is described methods and circuits for trimming a temperature coefficient of change of a parameter of at least one electrical component while maintaining a substantially constant parameter value, the method comprising applying a heating cycle to trim said parameter value away from a target parameter value and back to said target parameter value, whereby the temperature coefficient of change is modified after applying said heating cycle.
摘要:
A current sense resistor and a method of manufacturing a current sensing resistor with temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) compensation is disclosed. The resistor has a resistive strip disposed between two conductive strips. A pair of main terminals and a pair of voltage sense terminals are formed in the conductive strips. A pair of rough TCR calibration slots are located between the main terminals and the voltage sense terminals, each of the rough TCR calibration slots have a depth selected to obtain a negative starting TCR value observed at the voltage sense terminals. A fine TCR calibration slot is formed between the pair of voltage sense terminals. The fine TCR calibration slot has a depth selected to obtain a TCR value observed at the voltage sense terminals that approaches zero. The resistor can also have a resistance calibration slot located between the pair of main terminals. The resistance calibration slot has a depth selected to calibrate a resistance value of the resistor.
