PURPOSE: To provide a manufacture of an electronic component so as to manufacture a multiple chip resistor which allows high resistance accuracy, low noise and high stability with excellent manufacturing efficiency at low cost.

CONSTITUTION: Resistors 12 are formed by separation unit by thin film forming technology on a plane whereupon grooves 15 and 16 are arranged so as to separate the insulating board 11, and top electrodes 14a are formed in the vicinity of the edges of the resistor 12 by superimposing on the resistor 12a. The insulating board 11 is separated along the groove 15 to form strips, and edge plane electrodes are formed by thin film forming technology so as to permit the edge electrodes to connect with the top electrodes 14a at the edge planes of the insulating board which is separated to form strips.
