Chip resistor and paste for forming resist layer of chip resistor

#This application claims the benefit under 35 USC 119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0160854, filed on Nov. 28, 2017 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

#The following description relates to a chip resistor and paste for forming a resistor layer of the chip resistor.

#Chip-shaped resistors, or chip resistors, have been used more frequently, as functions of electronic devices have increased. For example, chip resistors are used as battery indicators or to prevent overcharging of batteries.

#FIGS. 1A to 1D illustrate interfaces between a resist layer (e.g., for a chip resistor) and a substrate, according to a weight percentage (wt %) of nickel included in a paste for forming the resist layer, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

#FIG. 2 is a brief illustration of a chip resistor, according to an embodiment.

#FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view along the line A-A′ of FIG. 2.

#Throughout the drawings and the detailed description, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. The drawings may not be to scale, and the relative size, proportions, and depiction of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity, illustration, and convenience.

#The following detailed description is provided to assist the reader in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application. For example, the sequences of operations described herein are merely examples, and are not limited to those set forth herein, but may be changed as will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application, with the exception of operations necessarily occurring in a certain order. Also, descriptions of features that are known in the art may be omitted for increased clarity and conciseness.

#The features described herein may be embodied in different forms, and are not to be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided merely to illustrate some of the many possible ways of implementing the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein that will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application.
