Abstract:
Printed circuit boards with integral high and low value resistors are efficiently produced. The method of their manufacture entails applying a first layer of a low resistance material onto a dielectric substrate in a predetermined thickness and pattern. The pattern defines the electrical lengths and widths of low value resistors, as well as pairs of terminal electrode pads for the high value resistors. A second layer of a high resistance material is applied between and in contact with the top surfaces of the facing ends of each member of the terminal pad pairs. The fixed lengths, widths and thicknesses of the patterned high resistance material determine the values of the high value resistors. Conductive metal terminals are provided at the ends of the low value resistors and at the distal ends of the high value resistor pad pairs to complete the resistors.

The advantages of the bulk properties of strips formed using thick film technology are realized while the drawback of poor edge definition is overcome using a thin film trim strip at the edge of the conductive strip.
Abstract:
Nanolaminates are formed by alternating deposition, e.g., by combustion chemical vapor deposition (CCVD), layers of resistive material and layers of dielectric material. Outer resistive material layers are patterned to form discrete patches of resistive material. Electrical pathways between opposed patches of resistive material on opposite sides of the laminate act as capacitors. Electrical pathways horizontally through resistive material layers, which may be connected by via plated holes, act as resistors.

A metal thin film having excellent transferability onto a ceramic sheet is provided in order to facilitate formation of an internal electrode for a multilayer ceramic capacitor, for example, by a technique of transferring a metal thin film. A first metal layer (2) of nickel or copper or another metal is formed on a film (1) by vapor deposition, and then a second metal layer (3) of nickel or copper or another metal is formed on the first metal layer (2) by wet plating such as electroplating or electroless plating, thereby providing a metal thin film constituted by the first and second metal layers (2 and 3) having excellent transferability.
