Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing flip chip resistors, comprising: applying a first electrode layer to a top surface of a substrate to create at least one pair of opposite first electrodes; applying a resistance layer between each pair of opposite first electrodes; applying a first protective layer at least partially overlaying the resistance layer; applying a second protective layer at least partially overlaying at least a portion of the resistance layer, the second protective layer having a top surface; applying a second electrode layer overlaying and in contact with the first electrode layer, the second electrode layer extending inwardly to directly overlay a portion of the resistance layer, and the second electrode layer overlaying and in contact with a portion of the top surface of the second protective layer to form at least one pair of opposite second electrodes corresponding to the at least one pair of opposite first electrodes; and wherein an innermost junction between the second protective layer and each of the second electrodes is positioned inward of the first corresponding electrode.
