Vishay is a worldwide leader in thin film technology. Precision resistive products branded Vishay Thin Film include surface-mount networks, surface-mount chips, through-hole (leaded) resistors, hybrid resistors, and resistor/capacitor networks. Vishay Thin Film technology employs photolithographic precision patterning to give designers a wide range of resistance values in the smallest possible area. Vishay Thin Film technologies include tamelox, tantalum nitride, nichrome, and passivated nichrome.

Vishay’s Quick-Net(TM), a rapid prototyping service for precision thin-film resistor networks, is the first such service in the industry to promise designers and manufacturers a two-week turnaround with no non-recurring engineering (NRE) charges. Vishay’s Quick-Net service dramatically shortens the process of bringing to market end products requiring precision analog circuitry. Quick-Net also allows designers to qualify improved ratio and TCR tracking specifications when integrating resistive elements into a single network.
