This is because when the film thickness of the electrode layers 2 and 4 is thinner than 0.3 μm, there is a possibility that a part of the electrode layers 2 and 4 which is not covered is generated. This is because the resistance of the conductor layer hardly changes in consideration of the skin effect.
