Abstract:
1. A resistor comprising: a substrate having a main surface, a back surface opposite to said main surface, and a side surface; a pair of upper surface electrodes formed on said main surface of said substrate, each of said upper electrodes having a side surface flush with respect to said side surface of said substrate, each of said upper surface electrodes comprising: a resistor element connected electrically with said upper surface electrodes; a protective layer for covering said resistor element; and a pair of side surface electrodes, each of said side surface electrodes being provided on said side surface of said substrate and connected electrically to each of said upper surface electrodes, each of said side electrodes being provided on and in contact with said side surface of said first upper surface electrode layer and said side surface of said bonding layer, each of said side surface electrodes comprising: a first plating film formed by nickel plating over said first film; and a second plating film over said first plating film.
