Abstract
A chip component includes a chip component main body, an electrode pad formed on a top surface of the main body, a protective film covering the top surface of the main body and having a contact hole exposing the pad, and an external connection electrode electrically connected to the pad via the hole and having a protruding portion, which, in a plan view looking from a direction perpendicular to a top surface of the pad, extends to a top surface of the film and protrudes further outward than a region of contact with the pad over the full periphery of an edge portion of the hole. A method for manufacturing the component includes forming the pad on the main body's top surface, forming the protective film, forming the hole in the film so as to expose the pad, and forming the electrode electrically connected to the pad via the hole.
