Abstract:
A method for manufacturing resistors on a substrate having vertical and horizontal division grooves and a top and a side face, said method comprising the steps of:screen printing a conductive paste over said top face of the substrate;forming a plurality of top electrodes on said top face of said substrate;forming at least one resistance layer electrically coupled with said plurality of top electrodes;forming a trimming groove on said resistance layer;forming a protective layer covering at least said resistance layer;forming a side electrode layer on said side face of said substrate, said side electrode layer electrically coupled with said plurality of top electrodes; andelectrically separating adjacent top electrodes (1) by removing a part of said side electrode layer and said substrate away from said vertical division grooves without removing said side electrode layer in the region of said vertical division grooves and (2) by dividing said substrate along said vertical division grooves.
