Abstract:
A flip chip resistor comprising:a substrate having first and second end surfaces and a top surface, the top surface having first and second opposite end portions adjacent the first and second end surfaces respectively and having a central portion between the first and second end surfaces; a first pair electrode layers disposed on and in contact with the first and second end portions respectively of the top surface of the substrate; a resistance layer overlaying and in contact with the central portion of the top surface of the substrate and being electrically connected to the first pair of electrode layers; a protective layer overlying the resistance layer; a second pair of electrode layers overlying the first pair of electrode layers and extending over a portion of the adjacent protective layer; a third pair of plating layers overlying the second pair of electrode layers and contacting the protective layer at a point above the resistance layer and not directly above the first pair of electrode layers.
