Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A method of making a resistor termination comprising the steps of applying to the surface of a substrate and firing a mixture of glass frit and particles of a compound taken from the group consisting of ruthenium oxide, iridium oxide, and rhodium oxide and mixtures thereof, until the compound dissociates to form and sinter the metal.
  • the mixture is fired at a temperature of at least 900C and preferably at 1,150C in a reducing or non-oxidizing atmosphere such as that provided by nitrogen.
  • a glass film with metal particles therein strongly bonded to the substrate When cooled there is provided a glass film with metal particles therein strongly bonded to the substrate.
  • the present invention relates to.a method of making a resistor termination and the termination produced thereby, and more particularly to a methodof making a conductive termination for a vitreous'en'amel resistor.
  • Vitreous enamel resistors include 'a substrate having on a surface thereof, a film of glass and particlesof'a' metal borides, and nitrides, have been fired in .non-
  • the glass solidifies to form the glass film with the conductive particles therein.
  • the termination generally used for resistors of the type produced in a non-oxidizing atmosphere was a film of a metal, such as nickel or copper.
  • a metal such as nickel or copper.
  • the invention accordingly comprises the several steps and the relation of one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others, and the composition possessing the features, properties, and the relation of constitutents which are exemplified in the following detailed disclosure, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
  • FIGURE of the drawing is a sectional view of a resistor having the termination of the present invention.
  • a resistor 10 which comprises a substrate 12 of an electrical insulating material, such as a ceramic, a termination film 14 on a surface of the substrate 12, and a resistance film 16 on the surface of the substrate and contacting the termination film 14.
  • the resistance film 16 is a vitreous enamel resistance film which comprises a film of glass 2 having particles of a conductive material embedded therein and dispersedtherethroughout.
  • the conductive material may be a'nyof the well known materials used in vitreous enamelresistors.
  • the termination film 14 comprises a layer of glass having particles of either ruthenium, iridium, rhodium or mixtures thereof, embedded'in and dispersed therethroughout.
  • the amount of the metal present in the termination film is preferably between 60% and 92% by volume or 79% to 99% by weight.
  • the glass may be any glass having a suitable melting temperature, i.e., a melting temperature below that of the metal.
  • the glasses most preferable are the borosilicate glasses, such as lead borosilicate, bismuth, cadmium, barium, calcium, or other alkaline earth borosilicates. If desired, up to 5% of the metal can be replaced by copper particles to improve the solderability of the termination film 14.
  • the termination material comprises a mixture of a glass frit and particles of either ruthenium oxide, iridium oxide, rhodium oxide or mixtures of the oxides.
  • the amount of the oxide included is dependent on the volume percent of the metal desired in I the termination film. The following table shows the amount of the oxide by weight percent needed to achieve 60% and 92% by volume of the metal .in the termination film. 1
  • the glass frit and the metal oxide particles are thoroughly mixed together, such as by milling, in a suitable vehicle, such as butyl carbital acetate, a mixture of butyl carbitol acetate and toluol or any well known screening medium.
  • a suitable vehicle such as butyl carbital acetate, a mixture of butyl carbitol acetate and toluol or any well known screening medium.
  • the viscosity of the mixture is then adjusted for the desired manner of applying the material either by adding or removing some of the vehicle medium.
  • copper is to be included in the termination film, it is included in the termination material either as copper particles or copper oxide particles.
  • the termination material is then applied to the substrate 12 by any desired technique, such as brushing, dipping, spraying or screen stencil application.
  • the coated film is then preferably dried, such as by heating at a low temperature, such as C for about 10 minutes.
  • the film is heated at a higher temperature, about 400C or higher, to burn off the vehicle.
  • the film is fired at a temperature at which the glass melts, generally at least 900C and preferably l,l50C, in an atmosphere, such as nitrogen, which allows dissociation of the metal oxide and sintering of the metal thus formed.
  • the vitreous enamel resistance film 16 can be applied to the substrate in the manner well known in the art.
  • the change in resistance shown in the Table is for the application of 50 watts per square for a period of 100 hours.
  • the small change in resistance from the power loading and the low value of current noise for the resistors indicate good electrical continuity between the resistor and the termination film.
  • a method of making a termination for refractory metal glaze resistors comprising the steps of:
  • a termination film for an electrical refractory metal glaze resistor consisting of a glass film bonded to the surface of an insulating substrate, and particles of metal from the group consisting of ruthenium, iridium and rhodium, and mixtures thereof, embedded within and dispersed throughout the glass film, the metal particles being present in the amount of 60% to 92% by volume.
