 抵抗値調整部12には、トリミング溝15(蛇行形成溝の一例)が形成されている。トリミング溝15は、抵抗値調整部12を蛇行形状とするための溝である。トリミング溝15は、抵抗値調整部12の第2縁122から短手方向第1側に延びる第1直線部16(直線部の一例)と、第1直線部16の短手方向第1側端に形成された折り返し部17(折り返し部の一例)とを有している。第1直線部16は、短手方向に延びている。折り返し部17は、絶縁基板2の厚さ方向からの平面視において半円弧形状である。 A trimming groove 15 (an example of a meandering groove) is formed in the resistance value adjusting portion 12 . The trimming groove 15 is a groove for forming the resistance value adjusting portion 12 into a meandering shape. The trimming groove 15 includes a first straight portion 16 (an example of a straight portion) extending from the second edge 122 of the resistance value adjusting portion 12 to the first side in the short direction, and a first side end of the first straight portion 16 in the short direction. It has a folded portion 17 (an example of a folded portion) formed in the . The first linear portion 16 extends in the lateral direction. The folded portion 17 has a semicircular arc shape in a plan view from the thickness direction of the insulating substrate 2 .
 トリミング溝15は、折り返し部17から第1直線部16に対して折り返すように延びる第2直線部18を更に有している。第2直線部18は、第1直線部16と平行に延びている。 The trimming groove 15 further has a second straight portion 18 extending from the folded portion 17 so as to fold back with respect to the first straight portion 16 . The second straight portion 18 extends parallel to the first straight portion 16 .
 第1矩形部6、第2矩形部7、第3矩形部8及び抵抗値調整部12によって、短手方向第1側に折り返す第1ターン101が形成されている。第4矩形部9、第5矩形部10、第6矩形部11及び抵抗値調整部12によって、短手方向第1側に折り返す第2ターン102が形成されている。トリミング溝15によって、短手方向第2側に折り返す第3ターン103が形成されている。 The first rectangular portion 6, the second rectangular portion 7, the third rectangular portion 8, and the resistance value adjusting portion 12 form a first turn 101 folded back to the first side in the short direction. The fourth rectangular portion 9, the fifth rectangular portion 10, the sixth rectangular portion 11, and the resistance value adjusting portion 12 form a second turn 102 folded back to the first side in the width direction. The trimming groove 15 forms a third turn 103 folded back to the second side in the short direction.
 さらに詳細に説明すれば、折り返し部17の頂点の位置は、第1矩形部6及び第4矩形部9と同じ幅の電流経路が抵抗値調整部12の第1縁121側付近に形成される位置(第1矩形部6及び第4矩形部9の短手方向第2側縁から長手方向に延びる仮想延長線19と同じ又は近傍の位置)である。また、第2直線部18の終端181は、抵抗値調整部12内において、第3矩形部8及び第6矩形部11の短手方向第1側縁から長手方向に延びる仮想延長線20よりも短手方向第1側に位置している。 More specifically, at the position of the vertex of the folded portion 17, a current path having the same width as that of the first rectangular portion 6 and the fourth rectangular portion 9 is formed near the first edge 121 side of the resistance value adjustment portion 12. position (at or near imaginary extension line 19 extending in the longitudinal direction from the second lateral side edge of first rectangular portion 6 and fourth rectangular portion 9). In addition, the terminal end 181 of the second straight portion 18 is located within the resistance value adjusting portion 12 relative to the imaginary extension line 20 extending in the longitudinal direction from the first lateral side edges of the third rectangular portion 8 and the sixth rectangular portion 11 . It is located on the first side in the short direction.
 なお、第2直線部18の終端181の位置は、抵抗値影響の少ない場所にある。したがって、抵抗体5において負荷特性の信頼性が向上する。なお、抵抗値影響の少ない場所とは、抵抗値調整部12に電流分布密度が低い部分である。一般にトリミング溝の延伸方向の最も先の部分(本実施形態では折り返し部17)付近は電流分布密度が高いので、そこから終端181が外れることが好ましく、さらに遠く離れることがさらに好ましい。以上より、この実施形態では、終端181が抵抗値調整部12の短手方向中心より短手方向第2側に位置するように、第2直線部18が延ばされている。 Note that the position of the terminal end 181 of the second linear portion 18 is located at a place where the influence of the resistance value is small. Therefore, the reliability of the load characteristics of the resistor 5 is improved. Note that the location where the resistance value is less affected is the portion where the current distribution density is low in the resistance value adjusting section 12 . Generally, the current distribution density is high near the farthest portion (in this embodiment, the folded portion 17) in the extending direction of the trimming groove, so it is preferable that the terminal end 181 is deviated therefrom, and more preferably further apart. As described above, in this embodiment, the second linear portion 18 is extended so that the terminal end 181 is positioned on the second side in the short direction from the center of the resistance value adjusting portion 12 in the short direction.
 (3)チップ抵抗器の製造方法
 最初に、アルミナからなる絶縁基板2の長手方向両端部に電極ペーストをスクリーン印刷し、これを850℃で焼成して第1電極3及び第2電極4を形成する。
(3) Manufacturing method of chip resistor First, electrode paste is screen-printed on both ends of the insulating substrate 2 made of alumina in the longitudinal direction and fired at 850°C to form the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4. do.
 次に、第1電極3と第2電極4との間に抵抗ペーストをスクリーン印刷し、これを850℃で焼成して抵抗体5を形成する。 Next, a resistor paste is screen-printed between the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 and fired at 850° C. to form the resistor 5 .
 次に、レーザトリミングにより抵抗値調整部12を蛇行形状にするために、トリミング溝15を形成する。これにより、抵抗体5は3ターンを有する蛇行形状になる。なお、図1の矢印(黒)は、レーザトリミングの向きを示している。 Next, a trimming groove 15 is formed in order to form the resistance value adjusting portion 12 into a meandering shape by laser trimming. As a result, the resistor 5 has a meandering shape with three turns. The arrow (black) in FIG. 1 indicates the direction of laser trimming.
 上記の構成では、トリミング溝15は折り返し部17を有しているので、トリミング溝15の延伸方向の最も先の部分にマイクロクラックが発生しにくい。特に折り返し部17が半円弧形状であるので、上記効果が高くなる。 In the above configuration, since the trimming groove 15 has the folded portion 17, microcracks are less likely to occur in the forwardmost portion of the trimming groove 15 in the extending direction. In particular, since the folded portion 17 has a semicircular arc shape, the above effect is enhanced.
 さらに、折り返し部17から延びる第2直線部18が形成されるので、トリミング溝15の終端181を折り返し部17から短手方向に離れた位置に配置できる。このように第2直線部18の終端181を抵抗値調整部12内において抵抗値影響が少ない位置に配置しているので、終端181付近にマイクロクラックが生じたとしても抵抗値変動が生じにくい。 Furthermore, since the second straight portion 18 extending from the folded portion 17 is formed, the terminal end 181 of the trimming groove 15 can be arranged at a position away from the folded portion 17 in the lateral direction. Since the terminal end 181 of the second linear portion 18 is arranged at a position where the influence of the resistance value is small in the resistance value adjusting portion 12 in this way, even if a microcrack occurs near the terminal end 181, the resistance value does not easily fluctuate.

The sixth straight portion 28B extends parallel to the fifth straight portion 26B. The sixth linear portion 28B has a terminal end 28B1 within the resistance value adjusting portion 12B.
 さらに詳細に説明すれば、第1トリミング溝15Bの第1折り返し部17Bの頂点17B1の短手方向位置は、第1矩形部6と同じ幅の電流経路が抵抗値調整部12Bの第1縁121側付近に形成される位置(第1矩形部6の短手方向第2側縁から長手方向に延びる仮想延長線19と同じ又は近傍の位置)である。また、第2直線部18Bの終端18B1は、抵抗値調整部12B内において、第3矩形部8及び矩形部9Bの短手方向第1側縁から長手方向に延びる仮想延長線20よりも短手方向第2側に位置している。終端18B1の位置は、抵抗値影響の少ない場所とすることで、負荷特性の信頼性が向上する。この実施形態では、抵抗値影響の少ない場所として、領域B1が設定されている。領域B1は、仮想延長線20から第2縁122までの領域である。 More specifically, the lateral position of the vertex 17B1 of the first folded portion 17B of the first trimming groove 15B is such that the current path having the same width as that of the first rectangular portion 6 is the first edge 121 of the resistance value adjusting portion 12B. It is a position formed in the vicinity of the side (a position that is the same as or near the imaginary extension line 19 extending in the longitudinal direction from the second lateral side edge of the first rectangular portion 6). In addition, the terminal end 18B1 of the second straight portion 18B is located in the resistance value adjusting portion 12B in the short direction from the imaginary extension line 20 extending in the longitudinal direction from the first side edge in the short direction of the third rectangular portion 8 and the rectangular portion 9B. It is located on the second side of the direction. By setting the position of the terminal end 18B1 to a place where the influence of the resistance value is small, the reliability of the load characteristics is improved.

 第2トリミング溝21Bの第2折り返し部23Bの頂点の短手方向位置は、第3矩形部8及び矩形部9Bと同じ幅の電流経路が抵抗値調整部12Bの第2縁122側付近に形成される位置(第3矩形部8及び矩形部9Bの短手方向第1側縁から長手方向に延びる仮想延長線19と同じ又は近傍の位置)である。また、第4直線部24Bの終端24B1は、抵抗値調整部12B内において、仮想延長線19よりも短手方向第1側に位置している。この実施形態では、終端24B1の位置を抵抗値影響の少ない場所とすることで、抵抗値修正後の抵抗値変動を抑制でき、それにより抵抗値精度を高精度にできる。抵抗値影響の少ない場所として、領域B2が設定されている。領域B2は、仮想延長線19から第1縁121までの領域である。 A current path having the same width as that of the third rectangular portion 8 and the rectangular portion 9B is formed near the second edge 122 of the resistance value adjusting portion 12B at the lateral position of the vertex of the second folded portion 23B of the second trimming groove 21B.

A terminal end 24B1 of the fourth linear portion 24B is located on the first side in the short direction of the imaginary extension line 19 in the resistance value adjusting portion 12B.

A region B2 is set as a place where the influence of the resistance value is small. A region B<b>2 is a region from the imaginary extension line 19 to the first edge 121 .
 第3トリミング溝25Bの第3折り返し部27Bの頂点の短手方向位置は、第2トリミング溝21Bの第2折り返し部23Bの頂点よりも短手方向第1側である。また、第6直線部28Bの終端28B1は、領域B1内にある。したがって、抵抗値修正後の抵抗値変動を抑制でき、それにより抵抗値精度を高精度にできる。 The lateral position of the vertex of the third folded portion 27B of the third trimming groove 25B is on the first side in the lateral direction of the vertex of the second folded portion 23B of the second trimming groove 21B.

 (第4実施形態)
 (1)チップ抵抗器の基本構成
 以下、図4を参照しながら、第4実施形態を説明する。第4実施形態は、1本のトリミング溝が抵抗体に形成されているチップ抵抗器1Cを開示している。
(Fourth embodiment)
(1) Basic Configuration of Chip Resistor A fourth embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. The fourth embodiment discloses a chip resistor 1C in which one trimming groove is formed in the resistor.
 チップ抵抗器1Cは、絶縁基板2(基板の一例)と、第1電極3と、第2電極4と、抵抗体5Cと有している。 The chip resistor 1C has an insulating substrate 2 (an example of a substrate), a first electrode 3, a second electrode 4, and a resistor 5C.
 絶縁基板2は、例えばAlを96%含有するアルミナで構成され、その形状は矩形状(上面視にて長方形)となっている。以後、図4の左右方向を長手方向とし、図4の上下方向を短手方向(一対の電極が並ぶ方向に交差する方向の一例)とする。さらに、図4の右側を長手方向第1側とし、図4の左側を長手方向第2側とし、図4の上側を短手方向第1側とし、図4の下側を短手方向第2側とする。なお、長手方向と短手方向は直交している。 The insulating substrate 2 is made of, for example, alumina containing 96% Al 2 O 3 and has a rectangular shape (rectangular when viewed from above). Hereinafter, the horizontal direction in FIG. 4 is defined as the longitudinal direction, and the vertical direction in FIG. 4 is the first side in the longitudinal direction, the left side in FIG. 4 is the second side in the longitudinal direction, the upper side in FIG. 4 is the first side in the transverse direction, and the lower side in FIG. side. In addition, the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction are orthogonal to each other.
 第1電極3及び第2電極4は、絶縁基板2の表面2Aの長手方向両端部に各々設けられ、銀等の金属を有する厚膜材料を印刷、焼成することによって形成されている。また、絶縁基板2の裏面には、所定の間隔を有するように設けられた一対の裏面電極(図示せず)が形成されている。さらに、絶縁基板2の長手方向の外側面には、第1電極3と裏面電極(図示せず)とを電気的に接続する端面電極(図示せず)を設けている。同様に、第2電極4と裏面電極(図示せず)とを電気的に接続するように、端面電極(図示せず)を設けている。 The first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the surface 2A of the insulating substrate 2, and are formed by printing and baking a thick film material containing metal such as silver. A pair of rear surface electrodes (not shown) are formed on the rear surface of the insulating substrate 2 so as to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. Furthermore, an edge electrode (not shown) for electrically connecting the first electrode 3 and a back electrode (not shown) is provided on the outer surface of the insulating substrate 2 in the longitudinal direction. Similarly, an edge electrode (not shown) is provided to electrically connect the second electrode 4 and a back electrode (not shown).
 抵抗体5Cは、絶縁基板2の表面2Aにおいて、第1電極3と第2電極4の間に、銅ニッケル、銀パラジウム、または酸化ルテニウムからなる厚膜材料を印刷した後、焼成することによって形成され、第1電極3及び第2電極4に接続されている。なお、図4では、抵抗体5Cの両端部が第1電極3及び第2電極4の両端部の上面に形成されているが、それらの両端部の下面に形成してもよい。 The resistor 5C is formed by printing a thick film material made of copper nickel, silver palladium, or ruthenium oxide between the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 on the surface 2A of the insulating substrate 2, and then baking the material. and connected to the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 . In FIG. 4, both ends of the resistor 5C are formed on the upper surfaces of both ends of the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4, but they may be formed on the lower surfaces of both ends.
 (2)抵抗体
 抵抗体5Cは、絶縁基板2の長手方向中間、つまり第1電極3と第2電極4の間に配置されている。抵抗体5Cは、上面視において左右方向に長い長方形である。抵抗体5Cは、後述するようにレーザトリミングによって抵抗値が調整される。なお、抵抗体5Dの短手方向第1側の縁を第1縁5C1として、短手方向第2側の縁を第2縁5C2(抵抗体において一対の電極が並ぶ方向に沿った縁の一例)とする。
(2) Resistor The resistor 5C is arranged in the middle of the insulating substrate 2 in the longitudinal direction, that is, between the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 . 5 C of resistors are rectangles elongated in the left-right direction in top view. The resistance value of the resistor 5C is adjusted by laser trimming as will be described later. Note that the edge on the first side in the short direction of the resistor 5D is defined as the first edge 5C1, and the edge on the second side in the short direction is the second edge 5C2 (an example of an edge along the direction in which the pair of electrodes are arranged in the resistor). ).
 抵抗体5Cには、トリミング溝15Cが形成されている。トリミング溝15Cは、抵抗体5Cの第2縁5C2から短手方向第1側に延びる第1直線部16C(直線部の一例)と、第1直線部16Cの短手方向第1側端に形成された折り返し部17C(折り返し部の一例)とを有している。第1直線部16Cは、短手方向に延びている。折り返し部17Cは、絶縁基板2の厚さ方向からの平面視において曲率を有する形状である。このように、第1直線部16Cと曲率を有する折り返し部17Cとを有するトリミング溝15Cを形成することにより、トリミング溝に角張った部分をなくすことができ、そのため電流が流れるときに過度な負荷集中が防止される。この結果、チップ抵抗器1Cの耐パルス性が向上する。 A trimming groove 15C is formed in the resistor 5C. The trimming groove 15C is formed at the first straight portion 16C (an example of the straight portion) extending from the second edge 5C2 of the resistor 5C to the first side in the short direction, and at the first side end in the short direction of the first straight portion 16C. folded portion 17C (an example of the folded portion). The first linear portion 16C extends in the lateral direction. The folded portion 17C has a shape having a curvature in plan view from the thickness direction of the insulating substrate 2 . By forming the trimming groove 15C having the first straight portion 16C and the bent portion 17C having a curvature in this way, it is possible to eliminate the angular portion of the trimming groove, thereby causing excessive load concentration when current flows. is prevented. As a result, the pulse resistance of the chip resistor 1C is improved.
 従来のチップ抵抗器では、例えばI字状のトリミング溝の場合、トリミング溝の先端付近で電流集中が生じ、さらには抵抗経路の狭くなっている部分が発熱することで、抵抗体が劣化して、そのためパルス特性が悪くなるという課題を有していた。また、従来のチップ抵抗器では、例えばL字状のトリミング溝の場合、L字の角部分及び先端付近で電力集中が生じ、さらには抵抗経路の狭くなっている部分が発熱することで、抵抗体が劣化して、そのためパルス特性が悪くなるという課題を有していた。さらに、いずれの場合も、トリミング溝の長さを長くすることで抵抗体の切り込み量を増加させた場合、抵抗経路が狭くなった部分で負荷集中が大幅に増大して、そのためパルス特性が大幅に悪化するので、トリミング溝の長さは抵抗体幅の約1/2程度に抑える必要があった。その結果、高い抵抗値修正倍率を実現できなかった。 In a conventional chip resistor, for example, in the case of an I-shaped trimming groove, current concentration occurs near the tip of the trimming groove, and heat is generated in the narrowed portion of the resistance path, resulting in deterioration of the resistor. , and as a result, there is a problem that the pulse characteristics are deteriorated. In conventional chip resistors, for example, in the case of an L-shaped trimming groove, power concentration occurs at the corners and near the tip of the L-shape, and heat is generated in the narrowed portion of the resistance path. There was a problem that the body deteriorated and, as a result, the pulse characteristics deteriorated. Furthermore, in both cases, when the length of the trimming groove is lengthened to increase the depth of cut in the resistor, the load concentration increases significantly in the narrowed portion of the resistance path, resulting in a significant drop in pulse characteristics. Therefore, it was necessary to limit the length of the trimming groove to about half the width of the resistor. As a result, a high resistance correction magnification could not be achieved.
 それに対して、本実施形態では、前述のように、トリミング溝15Cは第1直線部16Cと曲率を有する折り返し部17Cとを有するので、電流が流れるときに過度な負荷集中を防止でき、そのためトリミング溝の修正長さを長く確保できる。したがって、負荷特性を向上しつつ、高い抵抗値修正倍率を実現できる。 In contrast, in the present embodiment, as described above, the trimming groove 15C has the first straight portion 16C and the bent portion 17C having a curvature, so that excessive load concentration can be prevented when current flows. A long correction length of the groove can be secured. Therefore, it is possible to realize a high resistance value correction magnification while improving load characteristics.
 トリミング溝15Cは、折り返し部17Cから第1直線部16Cに対して折り返すように延びる第2直線部18Cを更に有している。第2直線部18Cは、第1直線部16Cと平行に延びている。なお、「第2直線部18Cが第1直線部16Cと平行」とは2~3度傾いた状態を含む。第2直線部18Cによって、耐パルス特性を高く維持しつつ、抵抗値を所望の値に精度よく調整できる。 The trimming groove 15C further has a second straight portion 18C extending from the folded portion 17C so as to fold back with respect to the first straight portion 16C. The second straight portion 18C extends parallel to the first straight portion 16C. Note that "the second straight portion 18C is parallel to the first straight portion 16C" includes a state of being inclined by 2 to 3 degrees. The resistance value can be precisely adjusted to a desired value by the second linear portion 18C while maintaining a high pulse resistance characteristic.
 折り返し部17Cは円弧部を含んでおり、円弧部は、第1直線部16Cに接続された部分の第1直線部16Cに対する角度が90度を超え、かつ、180度以下である。折り返し部17Cの円弧部の作用により、従来のチップ抵抗器に比べ、負荷集中が起こりにくく、そのため、チップ抵抗器1Cのパルス特性が向上する。 The folded portion 17C includes an arc portion, and in the arc portion, the angle of the portion connected to the first straight portion 16C with respect to the first straight portion 16C exceeds 90 degrees and is 180 degrees or less. Due to the action of the arc portion of the folded portion 17C, load concentration is less likely to occur than in conventional chip resistors, and therefore the pulse characteristics of the chip resistor 1C are improved.
 より詳細には、折り返し部17Cの円弧部は半円を含んでおり、半円の直径d1は抵抗体5Cの幅W2(短手方向長さ)の1/10以上である。 More specifically, the arc portion of the folded portion 17C includes a semicircle, and the diameter d1 of the semicircle is 1/10 or more of the width W2 (length in the lateral direction) of the resistor 5C.
 短手方向において、トリミング溝15Cの長さW1は、抵抗体5Cの幅W2の75%以下である。このようにトリミング溝15Cの長さを制限することで、負荷集中を抑えて、それによりチップ抵抗器1Cのパルス特性を維持できる。 In the lateral direction, the length W1 of the trimming groove 15C is 75% or less of the width W2 of the resistor 5C. By limiting the length of the trimming groove 15C in this way, load concentration can be suppressed, thereby maintaining the pulse characteristics of the chip resistor 1C.
 第2直線部18Cの終端18C1の位置は、抵抗値影響の少ない場所にある。したがって、抵抗体5Cにおいて負荷特性の信頼性が向上する。なお、抵抗値影響の少ない場所とは、抵抗体5Cに電流分布密度が低い部分である。一般にトリミング溝の延伸方向の最も先の部分(本実施形態では折り返し部17C)付近は電流分布密度が高いので、そこから終端18C1が外れることが好ましく、さらに遠く離れることがさらに好ましい。 The position of the terminal end 18C1 of the second straight portion 18C is located at a place where the influence of the resistance value is small. Therefore, the reliability of load characteristics is improved in the resistor 5C. The place where the resistance value is less affected is the part where the current distribution density is low in the resistor 5C. Generally, the current distribution density is high near the farthest portion (in this embodiment, the folded portion 17C) of the trimming groove in the extending direction, so it is preferable that the terminal end 18C1 is deviated therefrom, and more preferably further apart.
 (3)チップ抵抗器の製造方法
 最初に、アルミナからなる絶縁基板2の長手方向両端部に電極ペーストをスクリーン印刷し、これを例えば850℃で焼成して第1電極3及び第2電極4を形成する。

 抵抗体5Dには、第1トリミング溝15D1(トリミング溝の一例)が形成されている。第1トリミング溝15D1は、抵抗体5Dの第2縁5D2から短手方向第1側に延びる第1直線部16D1(直線部、第1直線部の一例)と、第1直線部16D1の短手方向第1側端に形成された第1折り返し部17D1(折り返し部の一例)とを有している。第1折り返し部17D1は、絶縁基板2の厚さ方向からの平面視において曲率を有する形状である。 A first trimming groove 15D1 (an example of a trimming groove) is formed in the resistor 5D.

The second straight portion 18D1 extends parallel to the first straight portion 16D1.
 チップ抵抗器1Dの抵抗体5Dには、第2トリミング溝15D2(トリミング溝の一例)が形成されている。第2トリミング溝15D21は、第1トリミング溝15D1の長手方向第1側(図5の右側)に配置されている。 A second trimming groove 15D2 (an example of a trimming groove) is formed in the resistor 5D of the chip resistor 1D. The second trimming groove 15D21 is arranged on the first longitudinal side (right side in FIG. 5) of the first trimming groove 15D1.
 第2トリミング溝15D2は、抵抗体5Dの第2縁5D2から短手方向第1側に延びる第3直線部16D2(直線部、第1直線部の一例)と、第3直線部16D2の短手方向第1側端に形成された第2折り返し部17D2(折り返し部の一例)とを有している。第3直線部16D2は、短手方向に延びている。第2折り返し部17D2は、絶縁基板2の厚さ方向からの平面視において曲率を有する形状である。なお、第1トリミング溝15D1の第1折り返し部17D1は第1直線部16D1から長手方向第1側に延びており、第2トリミング溝15D2の第2折り返し部17D2は第3直線部16D2から長手方向第2側に延びている。つまり、両折り返し部は互いに向き合う側に折り返されている。 The second trimming groove 15D2 includes a third linear portion 16D2 (a linear portion, an example of the first linear portion) extending from the second edge 5D2 of the resistor 5D to the first side in the width direction, and a width of the third linear portion 16D2. and a second folded portion 17D2 (an example of a folded portion) formed at the first direction side end. The third linear portion 16D2 extends in the lateral direction. The second folded portion 17D2 has a shape having a curvature in plan view from the thickness direction of the insulating substrate 2 . The first folded portion 17D1 of the first trimming groove 15D1 extends from the first straight portion 16D1 to the first side in the longitudinal direction, and the second folded portion 17D2 of the second trimming groove 15D2 extends from the third straight portion 16D2 in the longitudinal direction. extending to the second side. In other words, both folded portions are folded back to face each other.
 第2トリミング溝15D2は、第2折り返し部17D2から第3直線部16D2に対して折り返すように延びる第4直線部18D2(第2直線部の一例)を更に有している。第4直線部24D1は、第3直線部16D2と平行に延びている。 The second trimming groove 15D2 further has a fourth straight portion 18D2 (an example of a second straight portion) extending from the second folded portion 17D2 so as to fold back to the third straight portion 16D2. The fourth linear portion 24D1 extends parallel to the third linear portion 16D2.
 この実施形態では、チップ抵抗器1Dのトリミング溝が2本なので、負荷集中をさらに抑制できる。したがって、チップ抵抗器1Dの抵抗値の調整幅が大きくなる(抵抗値修正率を増加できる)。 In this embodiment, since the chip resistor 1D has two trimming grooves, load concentration can be further suppressed. Therefore, the adjustment range of the resistance value of the chip resistor 1D is increased (the resistance value correction rate can be increased).
 なお、この実施形態では、第2トリミング溝15D2の短手方向長さは、第1トリミング溝15D1の短手方向長さより短い。さらに、第2トリミング溝15D2の第4直線部18D2は、第1トリミング溝15D1の第2直線部18D1よりも短い。 Note that, in this embodiment, the length of the second trimming groove 15D2 in the widthwise direction is shorter than the length of the first trimming groove 15D1 in the widthwise direction. Furthermore, the fourth straight portion 18D2 of the second trimming groove 15D2 is shorter than the second straight portion 18D1 of the first trimming groove 15D1.

Meandering forming grooves (15, 15A, 15B) are formed in the resistance value adjusting portions (12, 12A, 12B) to form the resistance value adjusting portions (12, 12A, 12B) in a meandering shape. The meandering grooves (15, 15A, 15B) are composed of linear portions (16, 16A, 16B) extending from the edges (122) of the resistance value adjusting portions (12, 12A, 12B) and linear portions (16, 16A, 16B). and a folded portion (17, 17A, 17B) formed at one end of the .
 この態様によれば、蛇行形成溝(15、15A、15B)が折り返し部(17、17A、17B)を有しているので、蛇行形成溝(15)の延伸方向の最も先の部分にマイクロクラックが発生しにくい。 According to this aspect, since the meandering grooves (15, 15A, 15B) have the folded portions (17, 17A, 17B), microcracks are formed in the furthest portions of the meandering grooves (15) in the extending direction. is less likely to occur.
 第2態様に係るチップ抵抗器(1、1A、1B)では、第1態様において、折り返し部(17、17A、17B)は、基板(2)の厚さ方向からの平面視において半円弧形状である。 In the chip resistors (1, 1A, 1B) according to the second aspect, in the first aspect, the folded portions (17, 17A, 17B) are semicircular in plan view from the thickness direction of the substrate (2). be.
 この態様によれば、折り返し部(17、17A、17B)が半円弧形状であるので、蛇行形成溝(15、15A、15B)の延伸方向の最も先の部分にマイクロクラックが発生しにくい。 According to this aspect, since the folded portions (17, 17A, 17B) have a semicircular arc shape, microcracks are less likely to occur in the furthest portion of the extending direction of the meandering grooves (15, 15A, 15B).
 第3態様に係るチップ抵抗器(1、1A、1B)では、第1又は第2態様において、蛇行形成溝(15、15A、15B)は、折り返し部(17、17A、17B)から直線部としての第1直線部(16、16A、16B)に対して折り返すように延びる第2直線部(18、18A、18B)を更に有している。第2直線部(18、18A、18B)は、抵抗値調整部(12、12A、12B)内に終端(181、18A1、18B1)を有している。 In the chip resistor (1, 1A, 1B) according to the third aspect, in the first or second aspect, the meandering grooves (15, 15A, 15B) extend from the folded portions (17, 17A, 17B) as straight portions. It further has a second straight portion (18, 18A, 18B) extending so as to fold back with respect to the first straight portion (16, 16A, 16B). The second straight portions (18, 18A, 18B) have ends (181, 18A1, 18B1) within the resistance adjusting portions (12, 12A, 12B).
 この態様によれば、蛇行形成溝(15、15A、15B)が折り返し部(17、17A、17B)から延びる第2直線部(18、18A、18B)を有しているので、蛇行形成溝(15、15A、15B)の終端(181、18A1、18B1)を折り返し部(17、17A、17B)から短手方向に離れた位置に配置できる。このように終端(181、18A1、18B1)を、電流分布密度が高い折り返し部(17、17A、17B)付近から離すことができるので、終端(181、18A1、18B1)付近にマイクロクラックが生じたとしても抵抗値変動が生じにくい。 According to this aspect, since the meandering grooves (15, 15A, 15B) have the second straight portions (18, 18A, 18B) extending from the folded portions (17, 17A, 17B), the meandering grooves ( 15, 15A, 15B) ends (181, 18A1, 18B1) can be arranged at positions separated in the lateral direction from the folded portions (17, 17A, 17B). In this way, the terminal ends (181, 18A1, 18B1) can be separated from the vicinity of the folded portions (17, 17A, 17B) where the current distribution density is high, so microcracks occurred near the terminal ends (181, 18A1, 18B1). Even if the
 第4態様に係るチップ抵抗器(1、1A、1B)では、第3態様において、第2直線部(18、18A、18B)の終端(181、18A1、18B1)は、抵抗値調整部(12、12A、12B)内において抵抗値影響が少ない位置にある。 In the chip resistor (1, 1A, 1B) according to the fourth aspect, in the third aspect, the terminal end (181, 18A1, 18B1) of the second linear portion (18, 18A, 18B) is the resistance value adjusting portion (12 , 12A and 12B) at a position where the influence of the resistance value is small.
 この態様によれば、第2直線部(18、18A、18B)の終端(181、18A1、18B1)を抵抗値調整部(12、12A、12B)内において抵抗値影響が少ない位置に配置しているので、終端(181、18A1、18B1)付近にマイクロクラックが生じたとしても抵抗値変動が生じにくい。 According to this aspect, the terminal ends (181, 18A1, 18B1) of the second linear portions (18, 18A, 18B) are arranged at positions where the influence of the resistance value is small in the resistance value adjusting portions (12, 12A, 12B). Therefore, even if microcracks occur near the ends (181, 18A1, 18B1), the resistance value does not fluctuate easily.
 第5態様に係るチップ抵抗器(1A、1B)では、第1~第4態様のいずれかにおいて、抵抗値調整部(12A、12B)には、抵抗値調整部(12A、12B)の抵抗値を調整するための抵抗値調整溝(21A、21B、25B)が形成されている。抵抗値調整溝(21A、21B、25B)は、抵抗値調整部(12A、12B)の縁(121、122)から延びる抵抗値調整用直線部(22A、22B、26B)と、抵抗値調整用直線部(22A、22B、26B)の一端に形成された抵抗値調整用折り返し部(23A、23B、27B)とを有している。 In the chip resistor (1A, 1B) according to the fifth aspect, in any one of the first to fourth aspects, the resistance value adjuster (12A, 12B) has the resistance value of the resistance value adjuster (12A, 12B) are formed with resistance value adjusting grooves (21A, 21B, 25B) for adjusting the .

It has folded portions (23A, 23B, 27B) for resistance value adjustment formed at one end of the linear portions (22A, 22B, 26B).
 この態様によれば、抵抗値調整溝(21A、21B、25B)が抵抗値調整用折り返し部(23A、23B、27B)を有しているので、抵抗値調整溝(21A、21B、25B)の延伸方向の最も先の部分にマイクロクラックが発生しにくい。 According to this aspect, since the resistance value adjusting grooves (21A, 21B, 25B) have the resistance value adjusting folded portions (23A, 23B, 27B), the resistance value adjusting grooves (21A, 21B, 25B) Microcracks are less likely to occur at the farthest portion in the stretching direction.

Resistors (5C, 5D, 5E, 5F) are provided between a pair of electrodes (3, 4) on one surface (2A) of the substrate (2). Trimming grooves (15C, 15D1, 15D2, 15E1, 15E2, 15F) are formed in the resistors (5C, 5D, 5E, 5F). The trimming grooves (15C, 15D1, 15D2, 15E1, 15E2, 15F) are the edges (5C2, 5D1, 5D2, 5E1, 5E2, 5C2, 5D1, 5D2, 5E1, 5E2, 5F2) extending from (16C, 16D1, 16D2, 16E1, 16E2, 16F), and formed at one end of the straight portions (16C, 16D1, 16D2, 16E1, 16E2, 16F) in the thickness direction of the substrate (2). It has folded portions (17C, 17D1, 17D2, 17E1, 17E2) that are folded so as to have a shape having a curvature when viewed from above.
 この態様によれば、直線部(16C、16D1、16D2、16E1、16E2、16F)と曲率を有する折り返し部(17C、17D1、17D2、17E1、17E2)を有するトリミング溝(15C、15D1、15D2、15E1、15E2、15F)を形成することにより、抵抗体(5C、5D、5E、5F)における電流の流れを適切に制御し、電流が流れるときに過度な負荷集中が防止される。この結果、チップ抵抗器(1C、1D、1E、1F)の耐パルス性が向上する。 According to this aspect, trimming grooves (15C, 15D1, 15D2, 15E1) having linear portions (16C, 16D1, 16D2, 16E1, 16E2, 16F) and curved folded portions (17C, 17D1, 17D2, 17E1, 17E2) , 15E2, 15F) provide good control of current flow in resistors (5C, 5D, 5E, 5F) and prevent excessive load concentration when current flows. As a result, the pulse resistance of the chip resistors (1C, 1D, 1E, 1F) is improved.
 第7態様に係るチップ抵抗器(1C、1D、1E)では、第6態様において、トリミング溝(15C、15D1、15D2、15E1、15E2)は、折り返し部(17C、17D1、17D2、17E1、17E2)の一端から、直線部(16C、16D1、16D2、16E1、16E2)としての第1直線部に対して平行に延びる第2直線部(18C、18D1、18D2、18E1、18E2)を有している。 In the chip resistor (1C, 1D, 1E) according to the seventh aspect, in the sixth aspect, the trimming grooves (15C, 15D1, 15D2, 15E1, 15E2) has a second linear portion (18C, 18D1, 18D2, 18E1, 18E2) extending parallel to the first linear portion as a linear portion (16C, 16D1, 16D2, 16E1, 16E2) from one end of the .
 この態様によれば、第2直線部(18C、18D1、18D2、18E1、18E2)によって、耐パルス特性を高く維持しつつ、抵抗値を所望の値に精度よく調整できる。 According to this aspect, the second linear portions (18C, 18D1, 18D2, 18E1, 18E2) can accurately adjust the resistance value to a desired value while maintaining high pulse resistance characteristics.
 第8態様に係るチップ抵抗器(1C、1D、1E、1F)では、第6又は第7態様において、抵抗体(5C、5D、5E、5F)における一対の電極(3、4)が並ぶ方向に交差する方向において、トリミング溝(15C、15D1、15D2、15E1、15E2、15F)の長さ(W1)は抵抗体(5C、5D、5E、5F)の長さ(W2)の75%以下である。 In the chip resistor (1C, 1D, 1E, 1F) according to the eighth aspect, in the sixth or seventh aspect, the direction in which the pair of electrodes (3, 4) of the resistor (5C, 5D, 5E, 5F) are arranged , the length (W1) of the trimming grooves (15C, 15D1, 15D2, 15E1, 15E2, 15F) is 75% or less of the length (W2) of the resistors (5C, 5D, 5E, 5F) be.
 この態様によれば、トリミング溝15の長さを制限することで、負荷集中を抑えて、それによりチップ抵抗器(1C、1D、1E、1F)のパルス特性を維持できる。 According to this aspect, by limiting the length of the trimming groove 15, load concentration can be suppressed, thereby maintaining the pulse characteristics of the chip resistors (1C, 1D, 1E, 1F).
 第9態様に係るチップ抵抗器(1D、1E)では、第6~第8態様のいずれかにおいて、トリミング溝(15D1、15D2、15E1、15E2)は複数形成されている。 In the chip resistor (1D, 1E) according to the ninth aspect, in any one of the sixth to eighth aspects, a plurality of trimming grooves (15D1, 15D2, 15E1, 15E2) are formed.
 この態様によれば、チップ抵抗器(1D、1E)のトリミング溝(15D1、15D2、15E1、15E2)が複数なので、負荷集中をさらに抑制できる。したがって、チップ抵抗器(1D、1E)の抵抗値の調整幅が大きくなる。 According to this aspect, since the chip resistors (1D, 1E) have a plurality of trimming grooves (15D1, 15D2, 15E1, 15E2), load concentration can be further suppressed. Therefore, the adjustment range of the resistance values of the chip resistors (1D, 1E) is increased.
 第10態様に係るチップ抵抗器(1E)では、第9態様において、複数のトリミング溝(15E1、15E2)は、抵抗体(5E)における一対の電極(3、4)が並ぶ方向に沿った2つの縁(5E1、5E2)の各々から延びるものを含む。 In the chip resistor (1E) according to the tenth aspect, in the ninth aspect, the plurality of trimming grooves (15E1, 15E2) are arranged along the direction in which the pair of electrodes (3, 4) of the resistor (5E) are aligned. extending from each of the two edges (5E1, 5E2).
