That has led to development of thin-film resistors, in which the resistive element is not a higher-resistivity material such as carbon, but a metallic alloy-normally a much better conductor.
Significant progress has been made in the development of several new materials, including: * very thin core laminates, some with ceramic-loaded dielectrics * ceramic and ceramic-loaded capacitor pastes * plated resistors * deposited thin-film resistor foils * polymer thick-film resistor pastes.
The kit provides all parameterized electrical models and layout cells for hot and cold FETs, diodes, MIM capacitors, spiral inductors, thin-film resistors and distributed interconnects, such as transmission lines.
