TRR：Advanced Resistor Materials Drive Technological Progress

The Evolution of Resistance Materials
The basic function of a resistor is to limit the flow of current and divide the voltage to ensure the normal operation of the circuit. Traditional resistors are usually made of materials such as carbon film, metal film, and wire winding, which each have their own advantages and disadvantages and can meet different application needs. However, with the development of electronic devices towards miniaturization, high density, and high performance, traditional materials are gradually showing performance bottlenecks and are unable to meet the needs of emerging applications.
