Abstract
Abstract A resistor composition comprising conductive particles, a glass frit and a vehicle in which RuO2 particles coated with a polynary oxide of Bi and/or Pb and Ru are employed and, by using the surface-coated RuO2, the composition can provide readily a improved resistor having a advantageous combination of properties, particularly a very small absolute TCR and high voltage stability throughout a wide resistance range. The produced resistor can be successfully laser-trimmed without adversely affecting the properties thereof.
