Vishay/Electro-Films

Vishay Electro-Films is a leader in the manufacturing of thin film components, networks, and arrays on ceramic and silicon, including resistors, capacitors, inductors, and microwave components. It specializes in thin film resistive products using tantalum nitride. Vishay Electro-Films products complement Vishay’s other thin film products and have further improved Vishay’s status as a global leader in thin film technology. Products branded Vishay Electro-Films include linear resistors, capacitors, capacitor arrays, and inductors. High-quality, patterned thin-film substrates are produced in volume for both the hybrid circuit and microwave industries, and these products are used in both military and industrial hybrid circuit applications.

Vishay Electro-Films’ expertise in engineering and manufacturing these products has evolved into the expertise necessary to engineer high-density multilayer products, flip chip, and ball grid array technologies and specific application-orientated devices. New to the range is a thin film back-contact resistor chip that requires only one wire bond, thus saving space. The second electrical connection is made through the back of the chip. The product has a smaller footprint than alternative configuration chip resistors and is ideal for hybrid packages.
