Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an AT cut crystal resonator whose drive characteristics are stable. <P>SOLUTION: Cut off parts 4 of a resonator piece 1 of an AT cut crystal resonator processed by photolitho-etching, are arranged at 2 points of the mounting electrodes 13 side, and occurrence of crack fragments from the cut off parts 4 is prevented by covering the parts with conductive adhesive, so that sticking of the crystal crack fragments does not occur. A deterioration in drive characteristic is prevented by eliminating the sticking of the crack fragments to the electrodes. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

According to the present invention, there is provided a pair of extraction electrodes on one side of a vibrating piece, and a pair of separating portions extending from the extracting electrodes in the outer peripheral direction of the vibrating piece. The AT-cut piezoelectric vibrator was fixed to the case with a conductive adhesive. Here, when the width of the side having the extraction electrode of the piezoelectric vibrating piece is W, the distance between the separated portions is 0.5 W
To 0.9W is recommended. Here, if the separation portion is widened to fill the width of the resonator element, a large crack is generated on the side surface of the resonator element during separation. Further, if the distance between the cut-off portions is narrowed, an electrical short circuit may occur when the conductive adhesive is applied.
