Abstract:
1. A chip resistor comprising: an insulating substrate including a main surface; a pair of electrodes formed on the main surface of the substrate and spaced from each other in a first direction, each of the electrodes having an inner edge; a resistor element formed on the main surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the paired electrodes; and a pair of raised portions each in a form of a plateau formed integral with the substrate, each of the raised portions having an inner edge; wherein each of the raised portions is smaller in size than the substrate in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and parallel to the main surface of the substrate, each of the paired electrodes being formed on a respective one of the raised portions, the resistor element being equal in size to the raised portion in the second direction, the inner edge of each electrode being flush with the inner edge of the corresponding raised portion.
