A thermistor is disclosed, which comprises a resistance element having
upper and lower surfaces and showing a resistance varying characteristics
according to the change of temperature; first and second conductive
layers formed on the upper surface of the resistance element and engaged
to each other with a non-conductive gap interposed therebetween; first
and second electrodes formed on the lower surface of the resistance
element and electrically separated from each other; a first connector for
electrically connecting the first conductive layer to the first
electrode; and a second connector for electrically connecting the second
conductive layer to the second electrode. Thus, the thermistor has a
structurally point-symmetric shape, so it is possible to prevent the
Tombstone phenomenon, caused by an asymmetric structure. Since the
conductive layers having opposite polarities are engaged to each other
with the non-conductive gap therebetween, the flow of current is
increased and the resistance of the thermistor is decreased.
