OhmegaPly is a thin film Electrodeposited-On-Copper NiP metal alloy (RESISTOR-CONDUCTOR MATERIAL) that is laminated to a dielectric material and subtractively processed to produce planar resistor. Because of its thin film nature (approximately 0.1 - 1.0 micron thick), it can be buried within layers without increasing the thickness of the board or occupying any surface space like discrete resistors.
The resistor values are a function of the available board area for routing the resistors, the resistor size, and the sheet resistivity used. The 25 ohm per square product is used to create resistors with an approximate range of 10 ohms to about 500 ohms. The 50 ohm per square product is used for resistors with an approximate range of 25 ohms to about 10,000 ohms. The 100 ohm per square product is used for resistors with an approximate range of 50 ohms to about 25,000 ohms. The 250 ohm per square sheet resistivity is normally used for higher values in the 500 ohm to 1 Megohm (1 million ohm) range. This is a general rule. Resistors of higher and lower values with each of the sheet resistivities can, and have been, designed into circuit boards.
