The stability of a resistor depends primarily on its history
of exposures to temperature. Stability is affected by:
1. Reversible changes in the ambient temperature
and heat from adjacent components (defined by the
Temperature Coefficient of Resistance, or TCR)
2. Short-term steady-state self-heating (defined by
Power TCR or PCR)
3. Irreversible destabilizing shock of suddenly-applied
power
4. Long-term exposure to applied power (load-life
stability)
In very high-precision resistors, these effects must be
taken into account to achieve high stability with changes
in load (Joule Effect) and ambient temperature.
Vishay Foil Resistors’ Z Foil technology provides an order
of magnitude reduction in the Bulk Metal Foil element’s
sensitivity to temperature changes – both external and
internal. This technology provides TCR of ±0.2 ppm/°C
typical (military range: –55°C to +125°C, +25°C ref), and a
PCR of 5 ppm at rated power.
In order to take full advantage of this TCR improvement,
it is necessary to take into account the differences in
the resistor’s response to each of the above-mentioned
effects. The Z series has been developed to successfully
deal with these factors.
* This datasheet provides information about parts that are
RoHS-compliant and/or parts that are non-RoHS-compliant.
For example, parts with lead (Pb) terminations are not
RoHS compliant. Please see the information/tables in this
datasheet for details.

INTRODUCTION
The Bulk Metal
®
Foil resistor is based on a special
thermo-metalic stress concept wherein a proprietary bulk
metal cold rolled foil is cemented to a ceramic substrate.
It is then photoetched into a resistive pattern. Then it
is laser adjusted to any desired value and tolerance.
Because the metals used are not drawn, wound or
mistreated in any way during manufacturing process,
the Bulk Metal Foil resistor maintains all its design,
physical and electrical characteristics while winding
of wire or sputtering does not. Z Foil resistors achieve
maximum stability and near-zero TCR. These performance
characteristics are built-in for every unit, and do not
rely on screening or other artificial means for uniform
performance.

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 Bulk Metal Foil resistors.

LONG-TERM STABILITY
Some process controls 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.
In process control applications, 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 precision 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
sense 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.
But the typical permanent resistance drift of a Bulk Metal
Foil resistor is less than 60 ppm (0.006%) after 10 years
running at 0.1 W at 70°C.

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). Hence, if both termination junctions
of the resistor are at exactly the same temperature
across terminations 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 mV/°C difference across the
element to termination junction.
POST MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS (PMO)
Many analog applications can include requirements for
performance under conditions of stress beyond the normal
and over extended periods of time. This calls for more than
just selecting a standard device and applying it to a circuit.
The standard device may turn out to be all that is needed
but an analysis of the projected service conditions should
be made and it may well dictate a routine of stabilization
known as post manufacturing operations or PMO. The
PMO operations that will be discussed are only applicable
to Bulk Metal
®
Foil resistors. They stabilize Bulk Metal Foil
resistors while they are harmful to other types. Short time
overload, accelerated load life, and temperature cycling
are the three PMO exercises that do the most to reduce
drifts down the road. VFR Bulk Metal Foil resistors are
inherently stable as manufactured. These PMO exercises
are only of value on Bulk Metal Foil resistors and they
improve the performance by small but significant
amounts. Users are encouraged to contact Vishay Foil
Resistors’ applications engineering for assistance in
choosing the PMO operations that are right for their
application.
