INTRODUCTION
The Bulk Metal
®
Foil resistor is based on a special concept
where a proprietary bulk metal cold rolled foil is cemented to
a ceramic substrate. It is then photoetched into a resistive
pattern. Furthermore, it is laser adjusted to any desired value
and tolerance. Because the metals used are not drawn,
wound or mistreated in any way during manufacturing
process, the Bulk Metal Foil resistor maintains all its design,
physical and electrical characteristics while winding of wire
or sputtering does not. Z foil resistors achieve maximum
stability and near-zero TCR. These performance
characteristics are built-in for every unit, and do not rely on
screening or other artificial means for uniform performances.
The stability of a resistor depends primarily on its history of
exposures to temperature. Stability is affected by:
1. Changes in the ambient temperature and heat from
adjacent components (defined by the Temperature
Coefficient of Resistance, or TCR)
2. Destabilizing thermal shock of suddenly-applied power
(defined by the power coefficient, or PCR)
3. Long-term exposure to applied power (load-life stability)
4. Repetitive stresses from being switched on and off
In very high-precision resistors, these effects must be taken
into account to achieve high stability with changes in load
(Joule Effect) and ambient temperature.
Vishay’s new Z-Foil technology provides an order of
magnitude reduction in the Bulk Metal Foil element’s
sensitivity to temperature changes - both external and
internal. This technology provides an absolute TCR of
± 0.05 ppm/°C typical (instrument range: 0 °C to +60 °C),
± 0.2 ppm/°C typical (military range: - 55 °C to + 125 °C,
+ 25 °C ref), and a PCR of 5 ppm at rated power.
In order to take full advantage of this TCR improvement, it is
necessary to take into account the differences in the
resistor’s response to each of the above-mentioned effects.
The Z series has been developed to successfully deal with
these factors.

STANDARD OPERATIONS AND TEST
CONDITIONS
A. Standard Test Operations:
By 100 % Inspection
•
•
Short-time overload (6.25 x rated power for 5 s)
Resistance - tolerance check
POST MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS OR
PMO
Many analog applications can include requirements for
performance under conditions of stress beyond the normal
and over extended periods of time. This calls for more than
just selecting a standard device and applying it to a circuit.
The standard device may turn out to be all that is needed but
an analysis of the projected service conditions should be
made and it may well dictate a routine of stabilization known
as post manufacturing operations or PMO. The PMO
operations that will be discussed are only applicable to Bulk
Metal Foil resistors. They stabilize Bulk Metal Foil resistors
while they are harmful to other types. Short time overload,
accelerated load life, and temperature cycling are the three
PMO exercises that do the most to remove the anomalies
down the road. Vishay Bulk Metal Foil resistors are
inherently stable as manufactured. These PMO exercises
are only of value on Bulk Metal Foil resistors and they
improve the performance by small but significant amounts.
Users are encouraged to contact Vishay Foil applications
engineering for assistance in choosing the PMO operations
that are right for their application.

µV/°C relates to EMF due to lead temperature difference and µV/watt due to power applied to the resistor.
