High-thermal-stability resistor formed from manganese nitride compound that exhibits the saturation state of the mean free path

Antiperovskite manganese nitride compounds possess the saturation characteristics of the mean free path at an approximate room temperature. Therefore, such compounds show a flat resistance-temperature curve at an approximate room temperature. In this paper, we propose a manganese nitride resistor for high-thermal-stability systems. We fabricated and evaluated the micro/nanoscale manganese nitride compound resistors using the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible process. The thermal coefficient of the fabricated manganese nitride compound resistor was as low as that of other near-zero temperature-coefficient of resistivity materials. These results indicate that manganese nitride compounds can achieve higher thermal stability.
