Abstract:
Provided is a chip resistor including: a rectangular parallelepiped insulating substrate  1  which is made of ceramics; a pair of front electrodes  2  which are provided on lengthwise opposite end portions in a front surface of the insulating substrate  1 ; a resistive element  3  which is provided between and connected to the two front electrodes  2 ; an insulating protective layer  4  which covers the whole of the front surface of the insulating substrate  1  including the resistive element  3  and the two front electrodes  2 ; and a pair of cap-shaped end-surface electrodes  5  which are provided on the lengthwise opposite end portions of the insulating substrate  1  to be connected to the front electrodes  2 ; wherein: the protective layer  4  is formed out of a semi-transparent resin material which is similar in color to the insulating substrate  1.

Claim (Index 3):
A method for producing a chip resistor, comprising the steps of:\n forming a pair of front electrodes on each of chip formation regions in a front surface of a large-sized substrate made of ceramics; forming resistive elements to be provided between and connected to the paired front electrodes with each other respectively; forming a protective layer on the whole of the chip formation regions in the front surface of the large-sized substrate to thereby cover the front electrodes and the resistive elements, the protective layer being made of a semi-transparent resin similar in color to the large-sized substrate; confirming positions of the front electrodes and the resistive elements through the protective layer to thereby determine dicing positions, and then cutting the large-sized substrate along primary division lines and secondary division lines based on the dicing positions by a dicing blade to thereby form individual chip elements, the primary division lines passing through central portions of the front electrodes and extending in a lengthwise direction, the secondary division lines intersecting the primary division lines perpendicularly; and applying an electrically conductive paste to areas ranging from cut surfaces of the chip elements along the primary division lines to portions of cut surfaces of the chip elements along the secondary division lines to thereby form end-surface electrodes.
