  • Patent number: 10833145
    Abstract: A compact and refined chip resistor, with which a plurality of types of required resistance values can be accommodated readily with the same design structure, was desired. The chip resistor is arranged to have a resistor network on a substrate. The resistor network includes a plurality of resistor bodies arrayed in a matrix and having an equal resistance value. A plurality of types of resistance units are respectively arranged by one or a plurality of the resistor bodies being connected electrically. The plurality of types of resistance units are connected in a predetermined mode using connection conductor films and fuse films. By selectively fusing a fuse film, a resistance unit can be electrically incorporated into the resistor network or electrically separated from the resistor network to make the resistance value of the resistor network the required resistance value.

  • Patent number: 10681815
    Abstract: The composite chip component includes: plurality of chip elements which are disposed so as to be mutually spaced apart upon a common substrate, and which have mutually different functions; and a pair of electrodes which, in each of the chip elements, are formed on the surface of the substrate. As a result, it is possible to reduce the bond area (footprint) for the mounting substrate, and therefore, it is possible to provide a composite chip component capable of achieving efficiency of mounting operation.
