Embedded Passive Technology is a viable technology that has been reliably used in the defense and aerospace industry for over 20 years. Embedded Passive (Resistors and Capacitors) Technology have a great potential for high frequency and high density applications. It also provides better signal performance, reduced parasitic and cross talk. This paper summarizes the selection of resistor embedded materials, evaluations of resistive material (Phase 1) and duplication of a complex digital design (Phase 2). Phase 1 -resistive materials (Foil 25O/sq NiCr and 1kO/sq CrSiO) and resistive-Ply materials (25O/sq and 250O/sq NiP) were chosen for evaluation.
