Abstract
A micro-chip fuse and a method of manufacturing the fuse is disclosed which includes a fusible element made of a metallic film that is formed by a depositioning process. Through-bores are provided through a first substrate and filled with a photosensitive resist to make smooth the surface of the first substrate. After curing the resist, metal is deposited on the surface of the first substrate to form a metallic film. A photosensitive resist is applied to the metallic film and a photomask is placed on the resist to effect an exposure and a development. The metallic film is etched and the resists are removed to form the fusible elements made of the metallic film extending over the through-bores. A second substrate is placed under the first substrate, and a third substrate including recesses for cover the through-bores is placed on the first substrate to laminate them. Electrodes are provided on the ends of the substrates. The laminated substrates are divided into individual micro-chip fuses.
