A method of manufacturing an inexpensive fine resistor which do not require dimensional classifications of discrete substrates is disclosed. The method eliminates a process of replacing a mask according to a dimensional ranking of each discrete substrate. The method includes: dividing an insulated substrate sheet along a first slit dividing portion and a second dividing portion perpendicular to the first dividing portion; forming a top electrode layer on a top face of the discrete substrate; forming a resistor layer such that a part of the resistor layer overlaps the top electrode layer; forming protective layers so as to cover the resistor layer; and forming side electrode layer on a side face of the discrete substrate such that the side electrode layer is electrically coupled to the top electrode layer.

An inexpensive fine resistor which do not require dimensional classifications of discrete substrates, eliminating a process of replacing a mask according to a dimensional ranking of each discrete substrate as in the prior art. The resistor includes discrete substrate made into pieces by dividing an insulated substrate sheet along a first slit dividing portion and a second dividing portion perpendicular to the first dividing portion; top electrode layer formed on a top face of discrete substrate; resistor layer formed such that a part of resistor layer overlaps top electrode layer; protective layers formed so as to cover resistor layer; side electrode layer formed on a side face of discrete substrate such that side electrode layer is electrically coupled to top electrode layer.
