Abstract
This invention relates to a capacitive/resistive device, which may be embedded within a layer of a printed wiring board. Embedding the device conserves board surface real estate, and reduces the number of solder connections, thereby increasing reliability. More specifically, the device, comprises a first metallic foil; a second metallic foil; a first electrode formed from the first metallic foil; a dielectric disposed over the first electrode; a resistor element formed on and adjacent to the dielectric; a conductive trace; and a second electrode formed from the second metallic foil and disposed over the dielectric and in electrical contact with the resistor element, wherein the dielectric is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and wherein said dielectric comprises an unfilled polymer of dielectric constant less than 4.0.
