In the following drawings, identical or corresponding parts will be given the same reference numerals, and their descriptions will not be repeated. At least some of the configurations of the embodiments described below may be combined in any way.

[0009] An embodiment of the chip resistor 1 will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. The chip resistor 1 mainly comprises an insulating substrate 10, a first electrode 20, a second electrode 30, a resistor 16, a first heat transfer layer 40, a second heat transfer layer 41, and an insulating protective layer 43. The chip resistor 1 may further comprise a first conductive resin layer 45 and a second conductive resin layer 46. In Figure 1, the insulating protective layer 43 is omitted for illustrative purposes.

[0010] The insulating substrate 10 is an electrical insulator and is formed of an electrical insulating material such as alumina (Al2O3). The insulating substrate 10 includes a first main surface 11, a second main surface 12 opposite to the first main surface 11, a first side surface 13, and a second side surface 14 opposite to the first side surface 13. The first side surface 13 and the second side surface 14 are connected to the first main surface 11 and the second main surface 12, respectively. The first main surface 11 and the second main surface 12 extend along a first direction (x direction) and a second direction (y direction) perpendicular to the first direction. The first direction (x direction) is, for example, the longitudinal direction of the insulating substrate 10. The first direction (x direction) is the direction in which the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 are separated from each other. The first direction (x direction) is the direction in which the first side surface 13 and the second side surface 14 are separated from each other. The second direction (y-direction) is, for example, the short-side direction of the insulating substrate 10. The first main surface 11 and the second main surface 12 are separated from each other in the third direction (z-direction), which is perpendicular to the first direction (x-direction) and the second direction (y-direction). The third direction (z-direction) is the thickness direction of the insulating substrate 10.

[0011] Referring to Figure 3, when the chip resistor 1 is mounted on the wiring board 50 (see Figure 3), the first main surface 11 faces the wiring board 50. That is, the first main surface 11 is the mounting surface used when mounting the chip resistor 1 on the wiring board 50.

In a plan view of the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10, the first heat transfer layer 40 covers, for example, less than 50% of the area of ​​the resistor 16.

[0032] In a plan view of the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10, the first heat transfer layer 40 covers at least a portion of the trimming groove 17.

[0045] In a plan view of the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10, the edge 45e of the first conductive resin layer 45 may be closer to the edge 41e of the second heat transfer layer 41 than to the edge 40e of the first heat transfer layer 40.

The first inner plating layer 25 and the second inner plating layer 35 are each, for example, copper plating layers. Then, a first intermediate plating layer 26 is formed on the first inner plating layer 25. A second intermediate plating layer 36 is formed on the second inner plating layer 35.

In the third modified embodiment, the second metal plating layer 34 may be further provided on the second conductive resin layer 46.

[0059] The effects of the chip resistor 1 of this embodiment will be explained. The chip resistor 1 of this embodiment comprises an insulating substrate 10, a first electrode 20, a second electrode 30, a resistor 16, a first heat transfer layer 40, a second heat transfer layer 41, and an insulating protective layer 43. The insulating substrate 10 includes a first main surface 11, a first side surface 13, and a second side surface 14 opposite to the first side surface 13. The first side surface 13 and the second side surface 14 are each connected to the first main surface 11. The resistor 16 is provided on the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10. The first electrode 20 is provided on the first side surface 13 side of the insulating substrate 10. The first electrode 20 includes a first front electrode 21 provided on the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10. The second electrode 30 is provided on the second side surface 14 side of the insulating substrate 10 and is separated from the first electrode 20. The second electrode 30 is provided on the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10 and includes a second front electrode 31 that is separated from the first front electrode 21. The resistor 16 is in contact with the first front electrode 21 and the second front electrode 31. The first heat transfer layer 40 has a higher thermal conductivity than the insulating protective layer 43 and is in contact with the resistor 16 and the first front electrode 21. The second heat transfer layer 41 is separated from the first heat transfer layer 40. The second heat transfer layer 41 has a higher thermal conductivity than the insulating protective layer 43 and is in contact with the resistor 16 and the second front electrode 31. The insulating protective layer 43 is provided on the resistor 16. The insulating protective layer 43 electrically insulates the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 from each other, and also electrically insulates the first heat transfer layer 40 and the second heat transfer layer 41 from each other.

[0060] The center of the chip resistor 1 (for example, the center of the resistor element 16) is furthest from the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30. Therefore, when the chip resistor 1 is in use, the temperature of the center of the chip resistor 1 tends to rise. However, the first heat transfer layer 40 and the second heat transfer layer 41 can quickly dissipate the heat from the center of the chip resistor 1 to the outside of the chip resistor 1 (for example, the wiring board 50 (see Figure 3), or the surrounding environment of the chip resistor 1, such as the air surrounding the chip resistor 1). Therefore, when the chip resistor 1 is in use, the rise in temperature of the center of the chip resistor 1 can be suppressed. The short-time overload (STOL) characteristics of the chip resistor 1 may be improved.

[0061] In the chip resistor 1 of this embodiment, the first heat transfer layer 40 and the second heat transfer layer 41 each include a binder resin and thermally conductive particles added to the binder resin.

[0062] The first heat transfer layer 40 and the second heat transfer layer 41 can quickly dissipate the heat from the center of the chip resistor 1 to the outside of the chip resistor 1. Therefore, when the chip resistor 1 is in use, the rise in temperature at the center of the chip resistor 1 can be suppressed. The short-time overload (STOL) characteristics of the chip resistor 1 may be improved.

[0063] In the chip resistor 1 of this embodiment, the binder resin is formed from epoxy resin, phenolic resin, or a combination thereof. The thermally conductive particles are carbon particles, metal particles, or a combination thereof.

[0064] The first heat transfer layer 40 and the second heat transfer layer 41 can quickly dissipate the heat from the center of the chip resistor 1 to the outside of the chip resistor 1. Therefore, when the chip resistor 1 is in use, the rise in temperature at the center of the chip resistor 1 can be suppressed. The short-time overload (STOL) characteristics of the chip resistor 1 may be improved.

[0065] In the chip resistor 1 of this embodiment, the first heat transfer layer 40 and the second heat transfer layer 41 are each conductive.

[0066] Therefore, the conductive first heat transfer layer 40 and the second heat transfer layer 41 tend to have a higher thermal conductivity than the electrically insulating heat transfer layer. The conductive first heat transfer layer 40 and the second heat transfer layer 41 can quickly dissipate the heat from the center of the chip resistor 1 to the outside of the chip resistor 1. When the chip resistor 1 is in use, the rise in temperature at the center of the chip resistor 1 can be suppressed. The short-time overload (STOL) characteristics of the chip resistor 1 can be improved.

[0067] The chip resistor 1 of this embodiment further comprises a first conductive resin layer 45 and a second conductive resin layer 46. The first conductive resin layer 45 has a higher thermal conductivity than the insulating protective layer 43. The second conductive resin layer 46 has a higher thermal conductivity than the insulating protective layer 43 and is separated from the first conductive resin layer 45. The first electrode 20 further includes a first metal plating layer 24. The second electrode 30 further includes a second metal plating layer 34. The first conductive resin layer 45 is provided on the first heat transfer layer 40 and the insulating protective layer 43. The first metal plating layer 24 is provided on the first heat transfer layer 40 and the first conductive resin layer 45. The second conductive resin layer 46 is provided on the second heat transfer layer 41 and the insulating protective layer 43. The second metal plating layer 34 is provided on the second heat transfer layer 41 and the second conductive resin layer 46. In a plan view of the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10, the first end (end 24e) of the first metal plating layer 24 is closer to the third end (end 41e) of the second heat transfer layer 41 than to the second end (end 40e) of the first heat transfer layer 40, and the fourth end (end 34e) of the second metal plating layer 34 is closer to the second end (end 40e) of the first heat transfer layer 40 than to the third end (end 41e) of the second heat transfer layer 41. The first end (end 24e) of the first metal plating layer 24 is the distal end of the first metal plating layer 24 from the first side surface 13 of the insulating substrate 10 in a plan view of the first main surface 11. The second end (end 40e) of the first heat transfer layer 40 is the distal end of the first heat transfer layer 40 from the first side surface 13 of the insulating substrate 10 in a plan view of the first main surface 11. The third end (end 41e) of the second heat transfer layer 41 is the distal end of the second heat transfer layer 41 from the second side surface 14 of the insulating substrate 10 in a plan view of the first main surface 11. The fourth end (end 34e) of the second metal plating layer 34 is the distal end of the second metal plating layer 34 from the second side surface 14 of the insulating substrate 10 in a plan view of the first main surface 11.

[0068] Therefore, in a plan view of the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10, the first metal plating layer 24 is formed closer to the center of the chip resistor 1 than the first heat transfer layer 40, and the second metal plating layer 34 is formed closer to the center of the chip resistor 1 than the second heat transfer layer 41. The first metal plating layer 24 and the second metal plating layer 34 can also quickly dissipate heat from the center of the chip resistor 1 to the outside of the chip resistor 1. When the chip resistor 1 is in use, the rise in temperature at the center of the chip resistor 1 can be suppressed. The short-time overload (STOL) characteristics of the chip resistor 1 can be improved.

[0069] In the chip resistor 1 of this embodiment, in a plan view of the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10, the fifth end (end 45e) of the first conductive resin layer 45 is closer to the third end (end 41e) of the second heat transfer layer 41 than to the second end (end 40e) of the first heat transfer layer 40, and the sixth end (end 46e) of the second conductive resin layer 46 is closer to the second end (end 40e) of the first heat transfer layer 40 than to the third end (end 41e) of the second heat transfer layer 41. The fifth end (end 45e) of the first conductive resin layer 45 is the distal end of the first conductive resin layer 45 from the first side surface 13 of the insulating substrate 10 in a plan view of the first main surface 11. The sixth end (end 46e) of the second conductive resin layer 46 is the distal end of the second conductive resin layer 46 from the second side surface 14 of the insulating substrate 10 in a plan view of the first main surface 11.

[0070] Therefore, in a plan view of the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10, the first conductive resin layer 45 is formed closer to the center of the chip resistor 1 than the first heat transfer layer 40, and the second conductive resin layer 46 is formed closer to the center of the chip resistor 1 than the second heat transfer layer 41. The first conductive resin layer 45 and the second conductive resin layer 46 can also quickly dissipate the heat from the center of the chip resistor 1 to the outside of the chip resistor 1. When the chip resistor 1 is in use, the rise in temperature at the center of the chip resistor 1 can be suppressed. The short-time overload (STOL) characteristics of the chip resistor 1 can be improved.

[0071] In the chip resistor 1 of this embodiment, the insulating substrate 10 includes a second main surface 12 opposite to the first main surface 11. The first electrode 20 includes a first back electrode 22 provided on the second main surface 12 of the insulating substrate 10. The second electrode 30 includes a second back electrode 32 provided on the second main surface 12 of the insulating substrate 10. The first metal plating layer 24 is in contact with the first front electrode 21 and the first back electrode 22. The second metal plating layer 34 is in contact with the second front electrode 31 and the second back electrode 32.

[0072] Therefore, the first back electrode 22 and the second back electrode 32 can also quickly dissipate the heat from the chip resistor 1 to the outside of the chip resistor 1. This can suppress the rise in temperature of the chip resistor 1 when it is in use. The short-time overload (STOL) characteristics of the chip resistor 1 may be improved.

[0073] In the chip resistor 1 of this embodiment, the first metal plating layer 24 includes a first copper plating layer (first inner plating layer 25) in contact with the first front electrode 21. The second metal plating layer 34 includes a second copper plating layer (second inner plating layer 35) in contact with the second front electrode 31.

[0074] Copper has a thermal conductivity of 398 W / (m·K), and the copper plating layer has very high thermal conductivity. Therefore, the first metal plating layer 24 and the second metal plating layer 34 can also quickly dissipate the heat from the center of the chip resistor 1 to the outside of the chip resistor 1. When using the chip resistor 1, the rise in temperature at the center of the chip resistor 1 can be suppressed. The short-time overload (STOL) characteristics of the chip resistor 1 can be improved.

[0075] In the chip resistor 1 of this embodiment, the first electrical resistivity of the first heat transfer layer 40 is 1000 times or more the electrical resistivity of the resistor 16. The second electrical resistivity of the second heat transfer layer 41 is 1000 times or more the electrical resistivity of the resistor 16.

[0076] Therefore, even if the first heat transfer layer 40 and the second heat transfer layer 41 come into contact with the resistor 16, any fluctuations in the resistance value of the chip resistor 1 caused by the first heat transfer layer 40 and the second heat transfer layer 41 can be ignored. The resistance value of the chip resistor 1 (resistor 16) can be precisely determined.

[0077] In the chip resistor 1 of this embodiment, in a plan view of the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10, the first heat transfer layer 40 covers 20% or more of the area of ​​the resistor 16, and the second heat transfer layer 41 also covers 20% or more of the area of ​​the resistor 16.

[0078] Therefore, the first heat transfer layer 40 and the second heat transfer layer 41 can quickly dissipate the heat from the center of the chip resistor 1 to the outside of the chip resistor 1. When the chip resistor 1 is in use, the rise in temperature at the center of the chip resistor 1 can be suppressed. The short-time overload (STOL) characteristics of the chip resistor 1 can be improved.

[0079] In the chip resistor 1 of this embodiment, a trimming groove 17 is provided in the resistor 16. In a plan view of the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10, the first heat transfer layer 40 covers at least a portion of the trimming groove 17.

[0080] By forming a trimming groove 17 in the resistor 16, the resistance value of the chip resistor 1 (resistor 16) can be precisely determined. Furthermore, when current flows through the chip resistor 1, the temperature of the part of the resistor 16 surrounding the trimming groove 17 becomes the highest within the resistor 16. In the chip resistor 1, the first heat transfer layer 40 covers at least a portion of the trimming groove 17. Therefore, the heat generated in the part of the resistor 16 surrounding the trimming groove 17 can be quickly dissipated to the outside of the chip resistor 1.

[0081] In the chip resistor 1 of this embodiment, in a plan view of the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10, the first heat transfer layer 40 covers more than 50% of the total length of the trimming groove 17.

[0082] Therefore, the heat generated in the portion of the resistor 16 surrounding the trimming groove 17 can be dissipated more quickly to the outside of the chip resistor 1.

[0083] In the chip resistor 1 of this embodiment, in a plan view of the first main surface 11 of the insulating substrate 10, the first heat transfer layer 40 covers the entire trimming groove 17.

[0084] Therefore, the heat generated in the portion of the resistor 16 surrounding the trimming groove 17 can be dissipated more quickly to the outside of the chip resistor 1.

[0085] The embodiments and variations thereof disclosed herein should be considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restrictive.
