DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present application.

[0036] EMBODIMENT

[0037] In a first aspect, in combination with Figures 1 to 5 The present embodiment provides a chip resistor, which comprises a substrate 1, a back electrode 2, a front electrode, a resistance layer 3, a protective layer and a side electrode 4.

[0038] A pair of back electrodes 2 are formed on the lower surface of the substrate 1 and separated from each other. A pair of front electrodes are formed on the upper surface of the substrate 1 and separated from each other, which comprises a left electrode 5 arranged on the left side and a right electrode 6 arranged on the right side.

[0039] The resistance layer 3 is covered between the left electrode 5 and the right electrode 6. The protective layer is covered on the resistance layer 3, and the protective layer extends to the left electrode 5 and the right electrode 6 at both ends, respectively. The side electrode 4 is arranged on the opposite sides of the substrate 1, respectively, and the side electrode 4 on the left side is connected to the left electrode 5 and the corresponding back electrode 2, and the side electrode 4 on the right side is connected to the right electrode 6 and the corresponding back electrode 2.

[0040] The protective layer comprises a first protective layer 7 and a second protective layer 8. The first protective layer 7 is composed of glass material, and the second protective layer 8 is composed of at least two layers of epoxy resin material. A third protective layer 9 is formed on the left electrode 5 and the right electrode 6 which are not covered, and the third protective layer 9 is composed of resin silver material.

[0041] The patch resistor is provided with a multilayer protection structure formed by the first protection layer 7 made of glass and the second protection layer 8 made of epoxy resin, so that the resistor is effectively prevented from being damaged by moisture, chemical corrosion and mechanical damage, and the service life of the resistor in a harsh environment is significantly improved. In particular, the third protection layer 9 made of resin silver enhances the corrosion resistance of the electrode part, so that the resistor can maintain stable electrical performance during long-term operation.

[0042] In the embodiment, the resistance layer 3 and the first protection layer 7 and the second protection layer 8 extend to cover part of the left electrode 5 and the right electrode 6, and cover more than half of the left electrode 5 and the right electrode 6. The third protection layer 9 is formed on the other part of the left electrode 5 and the right electrode 6 which is not covered.

[0043] The uncovered area is smaller than the covered area, so as to increase the overlapping area of the resistance layer 3 and the front electrode. Since the coverage area of the resistance layer 3 on the left electrode 5 is larger, the contact area between the left electrode 5 and the resistance layer 3 is wider, which affects the current distribution. The asymmetric distribution is used to adjust the current path in the resistor, so as to achieve more ideal electrical performance in a specific application scenario (for example, in a harsh environment where the left side of the component is more humid). For example, the larger coverage area makes the protection layer of the left electrode 5 more complete, effectively reducing the risk of environmental damage to the left electrode 5, which is particularly important for electrode parts that require additional protection.

[0044] Further, the third protection layer 9 intersects with the side electrode 4, which ensures smooth transition of the electrode surface and external electrical connection, reduces the problem of poor contact caused by height difference, and improves the electrical connection reliability of the resistor. The resin silver material has good conductivity and protection performance, which not only provides additional physical protection for the electrode and further resists moisture erosion of the electrode from the external environment, but also maintains the conductivity of the electrode, effectively preventing resistance changes or failure caused by corrosion.

[0045] In the embodiment, the first protection layer 7 and the third protection layer 9 are both one layer, the second protection layer 8 is two layers, and the thickness of the second protection layer 8 is more than twice the thickness of the first protection layer 7. The third protection layer 9 is filled between the front electrode and the protection layer, which can significantly improve the anti-permeation ability. The second protection layer 8 has a larger thickness, which can provide layered protection effect for the resistor. The thicker epoxy resin material is mainly used to enhance the mechanical strength and wear resistance of the overall structure.

[0046] As Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, in the embodiment, the resistance layer 3 is provided with laser tangent grooves 10 adjacent to the left electrode and the right electrode respectively in the diagonal direction for laser resistance adjustment. The resistance particle folding line is a specific structure distributed on the surface of the substrate 1, which is a V-shaped groove structure, facilitating cutting operation to achieve particle folding and strip effect. In addition, the protective layer covers the particle folding line. In the prior art, the starting point is not strictly controlled, which causes water vapor to penetrate into the combination of the side tangent groove and the protective layer, and the laser tangent groove 10 adjacent to the left electrode and the right electrode can not only reduce the structural damage caused by cutting, but also further enhance the protection of the cutting area, and ensure that the laser tangent groove 10 is not exposed to the particle folding line.

[0047] Preferably, the laser tangent groove 10 is linear. One of the laser tangent grooves 10 is adjacent to the left electrode 5 and the other is adjacent to the right electrode 6 by means of laser cutting. Diagonal cutting (cutting on both sides of the resistance layer 3) optimizes the way of laser cutting, limits the laser tangent groove 10 to the diagonal position and adjacent to the front electrode, and controls the thermal effect of the resistance to improve the heat dissipation performance. Since the laser tangent groove 10 is adjacent to the electrode, the heat can be conducted away more quickly, thereby effectively controlling the temperature rise in the cutting process and protecting the thermal stability of the resistor. Further, the two laser tangent grooves 10 are symmetrically arranged on the resistance layer 3, and the two laser tangent grooves 10 have the same size and a depth less than 1 / 3 of the width of the resistance layer 3.

[0048] In the embodiment, the chip resistor further comprises a nickel plating layer 11 covering the back electrode 2, the side electrode 4 and the front electrode, and covering the third protective layer 9 and further overlapping the end surface of the second protective layer 8. Further, the chip resistor further comprises a tin plating layer 12 covering the nickel plating layer 11 and overlapping the end surface of the second protective layer 8. It should be noted that the tin plating layer 12 and the nickel plating layer 11 are existing structures, so they will not be described here.

[0049] In the second aspect, in combination with Figures 6 to 7 The embodiment further provides a preparation method of a chip resistor, comprising the following steps:

[0050] S1: providing a substrate 1, forming a back electrode 2 separated from each other on the lower surface of the substrate 1, and forming a left electrode 5 and a right electrode 6 separated from each other on the upper surface of the substrate 1;

[0051] S2: forming a resistance layer 3 connected to the left electrode 5 and the right electrode 6; wherein the resistance layer 3 is subjected to laser cutting to form laser tangent grooves 10 adjacent to the left electrode and the right electrode in the diagonal direction;

[0052] S3: Forming a first protective layer 7 composed of glass material on the resistance layer 3, and a second protective layer 8 composed of at least two layers of epoxy resin material;

[0053] S4: Correspondingly forming a third protective layer 9 composed of resin silver material on the uncovered left electrode 5 and right electrode 6;

[0054] S5: Sputtering along the side surface to form a side electrode 4 connecting the front electrode and the corresponding side back electrode 2.

[0055] Further, it further comprises the steps of:

[0056] S6: Electroplating a layer of metal nickel to form a nickel plating layer 11 completely covering the back electrode 2, side electrode 4, front electrode and third protective layer 9;

[0057] S7: Electroplating a layer of metal tin on the surface of the nickel plating layer 11 to form a tin plating layer 12 completely covering the nickel plating layer 11 and overlapping on the second protective layer 8.

[0058] The above-mentioned resistance layer 3 is cut by laser cutting to form a laser cutting slot 10 adjacent to the left electrode and right electrode through multiple process steps, which can accurately adjust and control the resistance value of the resistor, improve the manufacturing precision and consistency of the resistor, and the diagonal cutting optimizes the laser cutting mode, limits the laser cutting slot 10 to the diagonal position and adjacent to the front electrode, and correspondingly controls the heat effect of the resistor to improve the heat dissipation performance.

[0059] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and any technical solution belonging to the idea of the present application belongs to the protection scope of the present application.
