Abstract
A thin film two-terminal element is formed by laminating a protruding portion of a second conductor layer on a first conductor layer via a nonlinear resistor layer. An insulator layer is positioned between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer except a region to become the thin film two-terminal element. Therefore, the allowance of the relative position of the second conductor layer with respect to the first conductor layer and the nonlinear resistor layer is considerably large as compared with that of prior art, and it is possible to ensure a requisite alignment margin with respect to deformation of the substrate in the production process.
