Ohmega Ply Planar Resistor Technology Used in numerous applications, ranging from consumer electronic potentiometer circuits, to Supercomputers Improvements in the Ohmega-ply material uniformity and increased chemical resistance, have made this technology a high volume, cost effective alternative to discrete resistors Ohmega-Ply can now be processed by virtually any PWB manufacturer using conventional processing equipments and chemistries.   Description Ohmega-ply is a true thin film resistive material. The copper foil is the same as that now used by the PWB manufacturers, with single treat and double treat copper available in 1/2 oz through 2 oz weights. With the interest and use of Ohmega-ply in PCMCIA and MCM-L circuits, Ohmega-ply on 1/4 oz copper (on a peelable copper carrier) has also recently become available. Based on OEM and PWB requirements, the Ohmega-ply RCM is laminated by the independent laminators to specific dielectric materials. It can be supplied on virtually any dielectric material and thickness currently being used by the Industry. The Ohmega-ply laminate is processed by the PWB suppliers the same way as normal PWB laminates via a subtractive (print and etch) process, with the exception that one additional print and etch step is added. Per normal processing procedures, the board shop uses artwork to define geometric patterns that are imaged, then etched, to create individual resistors for use either on an inner layer of a multilayer board, or on the surface of a circuit board.
