components such as resistors to have a minimal drift
from their initial values when operating above +175°C and
in humid environments. In these applications, the most
important factor is the temperature dependence and the
end of life tolerance (which is part of the stability) and to a
lesser extent, the initial tolerance.

HIGH TEMPERATURE PRODUCTS
Resistors are the passive building blocks of an
electrical circuit. They may be used for dropping the
voltage, buffering the surge when the circuit is turned
on, providing feedback in a monitoring loop, sensing
current flow, etc. When the application requires stability
over time and load, initial accuracy, minimal change
with temperature of more than 175°C, resistance to
moisture and a number of other characteristics that will
be described below, only Vishay Foil Resistors have
the attributes needed for such application. Over the
past few months, there has been considerable growth
in the demand for precise, stable and reliable resistors
that can operate in harsh environments and especially
at high temperatures to 200°C. Many analog circuits
for industrial, military, aerospace, medical, down-hole,
oil well, and automotive applications require passive

Note
To acquire a precision resistance value, the Bulk Metal
®
Foil
chip is trimmed by selectively removing built-in “shorting bars.”
To increase the resistance in known increments, marked
areas are cut, producing progressively smaller increases in
resistance. This method reduces the effect of “hot spots” and
improves the long-term stability of the Vishay Foil resistors.

LONG-TERM STABILITY
Some process controls in high temperature environment
are not very critical but many, many are—particularly
when a process is operating near a tipping point where
it could get out of control quickly if not well monitored.
Entire production batches have been lost or suffered
reduced reliability when critical parameters were not kept
within narrow limits. One thing that can cause this to
happen is changes in the resistor over time. Reference
points in the control process thus become less and
less reliable. Repeatability of the process from batch to
batch begins to drift. The process is changing while the
monitors appear to be holding it within specified limits
because the precision resistor is producing a different
output voltage than it was in previous runs for the same
sensor output. So the process appears to be under
control when, in reality, it is experiencing an undetected
drift.
Long-term stability is thus one of the considerations that
drive the selection of which resistor technology to use in
the application. As for surface-mount chip resistors, the
leaded option is much better due to reduced stress on the
resistor from the PCB.

Vishay Foil Resistors
THERMAL EMF
In a resistor, the resistance is composed of a resistance
element of one material and two terminations of a
different material. When the junction of the element and
the termination is heated in a closed circuit, there is a DC
voltage generated in the circuit (see Seebeck and Peltier
Effects). If both termination junctions of the resistor are
at exactly the same temperature, there is no net thermal
EMF voltage generated in the circuit due to thermal
EMF error voltages in the resistor. In fact, however, the
terminals are very seldom at the same temperature
because their temperatures are influenced by uneven
power dissipation within the resistor, differential heating
from other components on the board, and heat conducted
along the board itself. Obviously, in a sense resistor that’s
supposed to accurately convert a current to a voltage,
the presence of an extraneous thermal EMF voltage could
constitute a significant error source in the system. That
is why it’s important that Bulk Metal
®
Foil resistors have
a thermal EMF voltage of less than 0.1 μV/°C difference
across the element to termination junction.
in the presence of the electric field established across
the element by the DC voltage. This etchant removes
and transports resistance material across the surface of
the element, and deposits it on another portion of the
resistance grid. This process can open a thin film or metal
film resistor in just a few hours of operation or effect a
more gradual increase in resistance over a longer period
of time, opening after months rather than hours. The
resistance grid of the Bulk Metal Foil resistor is hundreds
of times thicker than an equivalent value thin film resistor
so it would take hundreds of times more chemistry to do
the same amount of damage as to the metal and thin film
resistors.
TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT OF
RESISTANCE (TCR)
TCR is more important in some applications than in
others. Where the sense resistor is in an office control
station environment the temperature is fairly well
controlled over a narrow range but when the sense
resistor is close to the processes the sense resistor may
be exposed to a much higher range of temperatures.
Using a metal or thin film resistor at ±10 ppm/°C would
result in a 100 ppm (0.01%) error if the ambient changes
by only 10°C. If the temperature of operation is not close
to the midpoint of the temperature range used to quantify
the TCR at ±10 ppm/°C, it would result in a much larger
error over higher temperature ranges. A Bulk Metal Foil
resistor would only change 0.0002% to 0.002% over that
same 10°C span, depending upon which model is used
(0.2 ppm/°C to 2 ppm/°C.) And for larger temperature
spans, it would be even more important to use the Bulk
Metal Foil resistor for its inherently low TCR.
RELIABILITY
In addition to possible ESD damage, there are other
reliability considerations. There is another, often
overlooked reliability concern: moisture. All epoxy
coatings and plastic encapsulants are hygroscopic;
they absorb moisture from the air. Under the varying
temperature, pressure, and humidity conditions of normal
operations, moisture is drawn through the external
coatings and elevates the humidity level of the inside
of the resistor to a higher level than the unrestrained
fluctuating conditions outside the resistor itself. If the
resistor were to run at high power and generate a lot of
heat, the moisture would be driven out of the resistor
and there would be no humidity consequences. But the
best conditions for long term load-life stability are the
worst conditions for moisture damage in low DC power
applications. When the moisture is drawn into the resistor
it imports minute ions from the coating to the resistor
element’s surface where it adds to any residuals left
during production. These materials form a mild etchant
HARMONIC DISTORTION
Harmonic distortion is an important consideration in the
choice of precision resistors for sensitive applications. A
significant signal voltage across the resistor may change
the resistance value depending on the construction,
material, and size. Under these conditions Bulk Metal Foil
resistors behave more linearly than other resistor types.
