Patent ID: 7057490

Claim:
A resistor comprising: a substrate having a main surface, a back surface opposite to said main surface, and a side surface; a pair of upper surface electrodes formed on said main surface of said substrate, each of said upper electrodes having a side surface flush with respect to said side surface of said substrate, each of said upper surface electrodes comprising: a first upper surface electrode layer having a side surface flush with respect to said side surface of said substrate; and a bonding layer on and in contact with said first upper surface electrode layer, said bonding layer having a side surface flush with respect to said side surface of said substrate, said bonding layer comprising conductive resin; a resistor element connected electrically with said upper surface electrodes; a protective layer for covering said resistor element; and a pair of side surface electrodes, each of said side surface electrodes being provided on said side surface of said substrate and connected electrically to each of said upper surface electrodes, each of said side electrodes being provided on and in contact with said side surface of said first upper surface electrode layer and said side surface of said bonding layer, each of said side surface electrodes comprising: a first film formed of one of chromium film, titanium film, alloy film which contains chromium, and alloy film which contains titanium, having a bonding property against said substrate, said first film provided on and in contact with said side surface of said first upper surface electrode layer and said side surface of said bonding layer; a first plating film formed by nickel plating over said first film; and a second plating film over said first plating film.
