Title: Thick film resistor
Inventor: GRADUS JOHANNES KLOPPERS
IPC: H05B3/68
Filed: 2018-09-05
Abstract: A thick film resistor, such as a thick film heater 1, comprises a metal substrate 6 having first and second opposite surfaces, a first dielectric layer 5 applied on or over the first surface of the substrate 6, a thick film heating track 2 applied on or above the first dielectric layer 5, and a second dielectric layer 7 applied on or over the second surface of the substrate 6. The first and second dielectric layers 5,7 are in balanced compression within the normal operating temperature range of the resistor, so as to avoid or reduce stress on the substrate. This allows a thin or flexible substrate to be used. The resistor 1 includes temperature sensitive dielectric material having a resistivity that changes rapidly above a predetermined temperature, so as to allow a temperature condition of the resistor to be sensed. The first and second dielectric layers 5,7 may be formed of ceramic or enamel.

Title: Improvements relating to passivation layers
Inventor: RAJ SEKAR SETHU
IPC: H01L23/31
Filed: 2018-10-03
Abstract: A passivation layer 22 of a semiconductor device has a planar outer layer 38 not extending below a top surface 40 of a metal component 24. The outer layer 38 may be silicon nitride (Si3N4) deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD). The passivation layer 22 may have a silicon dioxide layer 34, which is planar in regions on either side of the metal component 24, with a top surface at the same height as the metal component 24, and deposited by high density plasma chemical vapour deposition (HDP CVD). A silicon rich oxide (SRO) layer may be deposited over the HDP SiO2 layer 34. A titanium nitride (TiN) barrier layer 50 may be formed on the top surface 40 of metal component 24. The full flat passivation structure prevents high stress intensity factors, reducing cracks from temperature cycles and mismatching coefficients of thermal expansion.
