Modern micropassives: fabrication and electrical properties

This paper presents the concept and modem technological approach to the fabrication of discrete, integrated and integral micropassives. The role of these components in modem electronic circuits is discussed too. The material, technological and constructional solutions and their relation with electrical and stability properties are analyzed in details for linear and nonlinear microresistors made and characterized at the Faculty of Microsystem Technology, Wrocław University of Technology.
