Patent number: 7605683Abstract: In a monolithic electronic component in which a resistive element is incorporated by forming a resistor film on a terminal electrode, a plating film can be formed on the terminal electrode having the resistor film via electroplating in an efficient manner and with a uniform film thickness. In order to form the terminal electrode, the resistor film is disposed directly on the surface of the component body, and a conductive resin film having a relatively low volume resistivity is disposed over the resistor film. The conductive resin film is preferably adapted to have a specific resistance of less than about 1×10?4 ?·m, on which a plating film having a uniform film thickness can be formed efficiently via electroplating.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2008Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Sawada, Kenjiro Hadano
