We report the effect of the film thickness on electrical properties of Ti(N) film resistors. The applications of titanium nitride thin film resistor in $\Pi$-type attenuators are also characterized. As film thickness decreases from 100 to 30 nm, temperature coefficient of resistance significantly decreases from -60 to -148 ppm/K, while sheet resistance increases from 37 to $270\;{\Omega}/{\square}$. The characterizations of 20dB-attenuators using thin film resistors are improved in comparison with those using thick film resistors. The $\Pi$-type attenuators using Ti(N) thin film resistors exhibit a attenuation of -19.94 dB and voltage standing wave ratio of 1.16 at a frequency of 2.7 GHz.

In the electronic components and devices fabrication, thin film resistors with low TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance) and high precision have been used over 3 GHz microwave in recent years. Ni-Cr alloys thin films resistors is one of the most commonly used resistive materials because it has low TCR and highly stable resistance. In this work, we fabricated thin film resistors using Evanohm alloys target(72Ni-20Cr-3Al-4Mn-Si) of s-type with excellent resistors properties by RF-sputtering. Also we reported best deposited conditions of thin film resistors for microwave to observe microstructure and electronic properties of thin film according to deposited conditions(between target and substrate, power supply)

This paper presents the characteristics of Ta-N thin-film for high precision resistors, which were deposited on Si substrate by DC reactive magnetron sputtering in an argon-nitrogen atmosphere(Ar-(4~16 %)$N_2$). Structural properties studied using X-ray diffraction(XRD) indicate the presence of TaN, $Ta_3N_5$ or a mixture of Ta-N phases in the films depending on the amount of nitrogen in the sputtering gas. The chemical composition are investigated by auger electro spectroscopy(AES). The optimized conditions of Ta-N thin-film resistors were deposited in 4 % $N_2$ gas flow ratio. Under optimum conditions, the Ta-N thin-film resistors are obtained a high resistivity, $\rho=305.7{\mu}{\Omega}cm$, a low temperature coefficient of resistance, TCR=-36 $ppm/^{\circ}C$.

This paper presents characteristics of CrOx thin-film, which were deposited on $Al_2$O$_3$ wafer by DC reactive magnetron sputtering in an argon-oxide atmosphere for high temperature applications. The present paper deals with a study of the technological characteristics of thin film resistors to provide a control in obtaining temperature coefficients of resistance of given value. The optimized condition of CrOx thin-film were thickness range of 2500 $\AA$ and annealing condition(350 $^{\circ}C$, 1 hr) in oxide partial pressure(3.5${\times}$10$^{-4}$ torr). Under optimum conditions, the CrOx thin-films is obtained a high resistivity, p=340 $\mu$Ωcm, a low temperature coefficient of resistance, TCR=-55 ppm/$^{\circ}C$. The CrOx thin films resistors which were fabricated in this paper had excellent characteristics as high precision resistors.

Ni(75 wt.%)-Cr(20 wt.%)-Al(3 wt.%)-Mn(4 wt.%)-Si(1 wt.%) alloy thin films were prepared using the DC magnetron sputtering process by varying the sputtering conditions such as power, pressure, substrate temperature, and post-deposition annealing temperature in order to fabricate a precision thin film resistor. For all the thin film resistors, sheet resistance, temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), and crystallinity were analyzed and the effects of sputtering conditions on their properties were also investigated. The oxygen content and TCR of Ni-Cr-Al-Mn-Si resistors were decreased by increasing the sputtering pressure. Their sheet resistance, TCR, and crystallinity were enhanced by elevating the substrate temperature. In addition, the annealing of the resistor thin films in air at a temperature higher than $300^{\circ}C$ lead to a remarkable rise in their sheet resistance and TCR. This may be attributed to the improved formation of NiO layer on the surface of the resistor thin film at an elevated temperature.

최근에 3 ㎓이상의 고주파용 전자부품과 소자의 제조에 낮은 저항온도계수(TCR)값과 높은 정밀도를 갖는 박막저항이 사용되고 있다. Ni-Cr 박막저항은 낮은 TCR 값과 저항에 대한 높은 안정성 때문에 저항 물질로 사용되는 가장 일반적인 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 $Ni_{72}Cr_Al_3Mn_4Si$(wt%)이 첨가된 우수한 저항특성을 갖는 S-type의 Evanohm 합금 타겟과 스퍼터링 장비를 이용하여 박막 저항을 제조하였다. 또한 열처리 조건을 $200^{\circ}C$, 300$300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$로 변화시키면서 고주파 박막 저항의 미세구조와 전기적 특성을 관찰하여 최상의 열처리 조건을 알아보았다.

Precision thin film resistors using evanohm R alloy were fabricated by do magnetron sputtering method. The physical and electrical properties of the resistors were studied after treatment of thermal annealing. The crystallization of the film was increased as the annealing temperature increase. Diffusion and oxidation of Cr and Al elements were occurred into the film surface. The minimum TCR values of 10.46 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ and 10.65 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ were measured at the annealing temperatures of $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$, respectively. We are conducting additional studies to improve characteristics of our resistors for practical device application.

Stiffness-engineered stretchable substrate technology has been widely used to produce stretchable displays, transistors, and integrated circuits because it is compatible with various flexible electronics technologies. However, the stiffness-engineering technology has never been applied to transistor-based stretchable strain sensors. In this study, we developed thin-film transistor-based strain sensors on stiffness-engineered stretchable substrates. We designed and fabricated strain-sensitive stretchable resistors capable of inducing changes in drain currents of transistors when subjected to stretching forces. The resistors and source electrodes of the transistors were connected in series to integrate the developed stretchable resistors with thin-film transistors on stretchable substrates by printing the resistors after fabricating transistors. The thin-film transistor-based stretchable strain sensors demonstrate feasibility as strain sensors operating under strains of 0%-5%. This strain range can be extended with further investigations. The proposed stiffness-engineering approach will expand the potential for the advancement and manufacturing of innovative stretchable strain sensors.
