Patent ID: 8839510

Claim:
A production method for an electronic chip component including an electronic component body including first and second functional members, first and second main surfaces, first and second side surfaces arranged perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first and second main surfaces, and first and second end surfaces arranged perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first and second main surfaces and the first and second side surfaces, the first and second functional members being respectively provided on the first and second end surfaces of the electronic component body, the production method comprising the steps of: positioning the electronic component body such that at least one of the first and second main surfaces, the first and second side surfaces, and the first and second end surfaces of the electronic component body contacts a substrate by sliding a slider relative to the substrate in a state in which the slider is in contact with at least another one of the first and second main surfaces, the first and second side surfaces, and the first and second end surfaces of the electronic component body; and applying the first functional member to at least a surface opposite to the at least one of the first and second main surfaces, the first and second side surfaces, and the first and second end surfaces of the electronic component body which contacts the substrate; wherein the positioning step includes a step of turning the electronic component body such that the at least another one of the first and second main surfaces, the first and second side surfaces, and the first and second end surfaces of the electronic component body contacts the substrate.
