Hello Technetters Can any one help me with calculating the resistance of an 0802 chip after it has been dipped in palladium silver on both ends, for contacting. The resistance depends on the width of the palladium silver band on the edges. I need to come up with a method to calculate the final resistance as a function of the chip geometry and dimensions and the width of the silver band. Thank you in advance for any help you can extend. nasser Nasser Y.
