Thin Film Resistors Thin film resistors are built on a ceramic base, with the resistive layer sputtered on top using vacuum deposition to create a chip resistor. The material used is commonly an alloy of nickel and chrome called Nichrome. The thickness of the film...

Thick Film Resistors Thick film resistors have many carbon resistor characteristics; they can be made small and are very low cost in high quantities. Their resistance tolerance, TCR and stability over time is not as favorable as wirewound or foil types, but they have...
