Patent ID: 7145431

Claim:
A thermistor comprising: a resistance element having upper and lower surfaces and showing a resistance varying characteristics according to the change of temperature; first and second conductive layers formed on the upper surface of the resistance element, the first and second conductive layers being adjacently engaged to each other with a non-conductive gap interposed therebetween; first and second electrodes formed on the lower surface of the resistance element and electrically separated from each other; a first connector conductively electrically connecting the first conductive layer to the first electrode; and a second connector conductively electrically connecting the second conductive layer to the second electrode, wherein the first and second conductive layers and the first and second electrodes are arranged so that the first conductive layer and the second electrode face each other and substantially overlap each other with the resistance element interposed therebetween, and the second conductive layer and the first electrode face each other and substantially overlap each other with the resistance element interposed therebetween, and the non-conductive gap has a shape of concave-convex patterns.
