General Specification for OhmegaPly Laminate and RCM
OhmegaPly® MTR® technology allows thin film resistors to be built within a printed circuit trace that is less than 100 microns (0.004") wide. Using standard subtractive printed circuit board processes, it is ideal for high density interconnect (HDI) designs where passive component placement is difficult or impossible.
By utilizing the differential processes unique to the OhmegaPly® nickel phosphorous (NiP) resistive material, copper traces can be imaged and etched to define resistor widths that are precise and sharply defined, resulting in the creation of miniature resistors with consistent ohmic values. With low inductance and good tolerances, the OhmegaPly® MTR® resistors are ideal for line termination and pull-up/down applications.

OhmegaPly RCM can be laminated to flexible substrates and used in flexible or rigid-flex applications. OhmegaFlex is used as heater elements, flex cable terminators and in other packaging applications where circuit height and flexibility are critical. OhmegaPly resistors are very stable on flex materials and repeated flexing of an OhmegaPly resistor (either embedded in a multilayer circuit or with coverlay for surface resistors) does not cause a change in resistor value.

OhmegaPly enjoys wide use in a variety of microwave and RF circuits. Phased array antennas, Wilkinson power dividers and resistive cards (r-cards) are a few applications that have employed OhmegaPly. Integration of OhmegaPly into microwave circuits has many desirable benefits including greater packaging densities, elimination of resistor assembly, weight savings and reduction in the parasitic inductances and capacitances associated with discrete chip resistors. OhmegaPly has been tested beyond 40 GHz with excellent stability and low insertion loss primarily due to the low profile nature of the copper foil that is used for bonding to PTFE substrates. OhmegaPly is available on Arlon, Rogers and Taconic substrates as well as other low dielectric constant/low loss materials.

TCR®
TCR is a thin-film resistor foil that meets the ever-increasing challenges of packaging high-speed, high-density electronic devices.
Manufactured using a thin-film vapor disposition, TCR ensures excellent uniformity of resistor material across the sheet for higher yields and improved resistor tolerances in multilayer organic packages. It reduces form factor, increases the space available for active components, reduces weight and improves performance. TCR utilizes existing printed circuit fabrication processes and chemistries.
Increasing demand for faster processing and improved performance have generated new challenges in both digital and RF printed circuit board designs. Replacing discrete resistors on the surface of an electronic assembly improves signal routing, resulting in improved line impedance matching, shorter signal paths, reduced series inductance, elimination of inductive reactance, and reduced EMI, crosstalk and noise. SMT solder joint reduction improves reliability and shortens time to market.

OhmegaPly®
OhmegaPly RCM (Resistor Conductor Material) consists of ED (electrodeposited) copper foil and a NiP (Nickel Phosphorous) resistive alloy. The NiP metal alloy is plated electrically onto the treated side (nodular plated) of the copper foil.
For five decades OhmegaPly has been used in a variety of electronic devices, spanning a broad spectrum of the Electronics Industry. It acts like a resistive “blank slate” – providing the PCB designer with a key tool for addressing contemporary electronic issues requiring passive resistors or resistive films. Applications range from consumer electronics (smart phone MEMS microphones) to aerospace and defense electronics (satellites, space probes, missiles, and fighter aircraft). OhmegaPly's strength has been its ability to be used in a variety of new ways in new applications.

Technical Data

Communications networks for 5G, Satcom, Defense, Automotive and other applications continue to move toward mmWave frequencies. The antennas necessary to manage the high frequency but lower power signals within these advanced networks are increasingly moving from dish and horn antenna to flat panel, beam forming, AESA and massive MIMO designs. PCB designers and fabricators are looking for stable high frequency PCB dielectrics and smoother, thinner copper foils to realize the low latency, accuracy, and high capacity that these new networks can deliver to users.
It is well known that as signal speed increases, so does the “skin effect” causing the electrical energy to move nearer to the surface of the copper trace in a PCB. At these higher speeds, roughness profile and etching quality of embedded resistor foils are critical to achievement of the best possible insertion loss characteristics. To address this TCR-EHF utilizes a very low-profile copper which minimizes the losses over the entire length of the trace. TCR-EHF has been qualified on various high-performance laminates including those based on PPE/PPO polymer systems.
TCR-EHF is available in the full range of ohmic values and copper weights as standard TCR.
