Thick Film Resistors with Improved Voltage Stability

Thick film resistors have been prepared by adding glass frits to the conductive materials of the resistors. By this method, it is found that the resistance of the glass phases in the thick film resistors decreases, with a resulting decrease of voltage drift after applying high voltage pulses to the resistors. In addition, the electrical properties and stability of these resistors are improved over resistors made from some present commercially available pastes.
