Thick Film Resistors Market Future Growth And Forecast With Significant Players

Resistor is a two-terminal electronic component that is used to resist or reduce the amount of current flowing in an electronic circuit. A resistor is diverse component which comes in variety of resistance values, sizes, shapes and types and these different types of resistors are used in different applications. Resistors can be broadly categorized as fixed resistors and variable resistors. Thick film resistor is one of the fixed resistors, these are characterized by the amount of resistive layer deposited on its ceramic base. The amount of resistive layer deposited on thick film resistor is up to ±100 µm, whereas thin film layer resistor is having film thickness of ±1µm. The amount of resistive layer deposited on thick film resistor is approximately 100 times more than thin film resistor. Resistive layers are made up of modern pastes of oxides of ruthenium, rhenium and iridium are used to make resistive materials. Unlike thin film, this process of making thick film resistors is additive i.e. resistive layers are added one after another to the substrate to create the conducting patterns and resistance values. Screen and stencil printing manufacturing process is used for the construction of thick film resistors. Thick film resistors are mostly used resistors in electrical and electronic circuits and have the low cost as compared to other resistor types. Thick film resistor value ranges from 0.01Ω to 50G Ω (Gigaohm). These are widely used resistors almost in every electrical device along with battery or AC connection.
