  • Patent number: 9336931
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a chip resistor including: a substrate, two first electrodes, two second electrodes, a resistive layer, at least one protection layer and at least one coating layer. The protection layer covers part of the two first electrodes, and includes at least two overlay sides and at least one overlay plane. The coating layer covers the at least two overlay sides, the at least one overlay plane, and part of the two first electrodes and the two second electrodes. The chip resistor uses the two overlay sides and the overplay plane to extend a distance between the two first electrodes and the outside. Therefore, it is difficult for the airborne sulfur, sulfides and sulfur-containing compounds to enter and react with the two first electrodes. Thus, the chip resistor can resist corrosion of harmful substances such as sulfur, sulfides and sulfur-containing compounds or halogens on the electrodes.

  • Patent number: 8035476
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a chip resistor and method for making the same. The chip resistor includes a substrate, a pair of bottom electrodes, a resistive film, a pair of main upper electrodes, a first protective coat, a pair of barrier layers, a second protective coat, a pair of side electrodes and at least one plated layer. The first protective coat is disposed over the resistive film, and covers part of the main upper electrodes. The barrier layers are disposed on the main upper electrodes, and cover part of the first protective coat. The second protective coat is disposed on the first protective coat, and covers part of the barrier layers. The plated layers cover the barrier layers, the bottom electrodes and the side electrodes. As a result, the chip resistor features high corrosion resistance.

  • Publication number: 20110089025
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a chip resistor having a low resistance. The method includes the following steps: (a) providing a substrate having a top surface; (b) sputtering a conducting layer directly on the top surface of the substrate, so that the conducting layer and the substrate contact each other, wherein the material of the conducting layer comprises nickel or copper; and (c) plating at least one metal layer directly on the conducting layer, so that the metal layer and the conducting layer contact each other, wherein the material of the metal layer comprises nickel or copper, and the conducting layer and the metal layer provide a resistive layer. As a result, the resistive layer has a precise pattern, and the duration of sputtering is reduced, so the yield rate and the efficiency are improved and the manufacturing cost is cut down.
