Abstract

The present invention provides a high resistance film with a low temperature coefficient of resistance. Such films can be used as resistors in integrated and hybrid circuits, as well as resistive layers in passivating circuits for high-voltage devices. In the latter circuits, the passivating layers shield the device from the detrimental influence of external or internal electric fields. The ability to obtain a low temperature coefficient of resistance enables obtaining a high sheet resistance without being influenced by changing temperatures.
