Chip resistor and method for making the same

A chip resistor comprising:

• a first electrode and a second electrode spaced apart from each other, the first electrode being offset from the second electrode in a first direction, the second electrode being offset from the first electrode in a second direction opposite from a first direction;
• a resistor element arranged on the first electrode and the second electrode;
• a bonding layer provided between the first electrode and the resistor element and between the second electrode and the resistor element;
• and
• a first plating layer electrically connected to the resistor element;
• wherein the first electrode includes a flat first-electrode outer side surface,
• the resistor element includes a first resistor-element side surface facing in the first direction,
• the first-electrode outer side surface is flush with the first resistor-element side surface,
• the first-electrode outer side surface includes two edges spaced apart from each other in a third direction perpendicular to both the first direction and a thickness direction of the first electrode, and
• the first plating layer includes a portion directly covering at least a part of the first-electrode outer side surface, said portion of the first plating layer extending from one of the two edges to the other of the two edges.
