[Industrial Application Field] The present invention is widely used in electronic devices, and the A
The present invention relates to a T-cut crystal resonator, and more specifically, to a resonator with a new support structure, and more specifically, to a new electrode structure related to this support structure. [Summary of the Invention] The present invention relates to a lead-out metal film for an AT-cut crystal resonator with a new support structure, and its characteristics are that the peripheral support portion (
The metal pus drawn out from the vibrating part at the center with the annular groove as a boundary, is located at the position where each side of the cross-sectional shape of the concave groove touches at a right angle. The gist of the invention is that this part is the intersection of the cutting angle of the AT-cut crystal with the X-axis direction. [Prior Art] The plan view of FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a case 7 of a conventional disc-shaped AT-cut crystal resonator. 1 in the same figure is the diaphragm of an AT-cut crystal oscillator, which performs thickness-shear vibration with excitation electrodes 2 and 2' provided on both sides.The excitation electrodes 2 and 2' are made of conductive thin films such as silver. is applied by vapor deposition, etc., and is connected to joints 4 and 4' on the outer periphery of the disk.
It is held on the base 5 by lead terminals 6 and 6' with a pair of wire supports 6 and 3' for support and connection. This is a method that has been widely used in the past, but instead of supporting with wire, annular grooves are formed on both sides of the crystal plate, and the remaining thickness from the butt of these grooves is used as a support means in the form of a flange plate. A crystal resonator with this structure has already been proposed. [Problem to be Solved by the Invention 1] In the above-mentioned conventional general support structure, vibration control is performed using wire supports, which causes performance deterioration and characteristic fluctuations caused by wire distortion due to external impact. Furthermore, there were other problems such as an increase in the number of parts and the number of man-hours required to assemble them. Therefore, to improve this, we proposed a crystal resonator with a new structure that has a central vibrating part and its outer periphery as a supporting part, as described above. There is a groove in which the metal film is led out beyond this groove, and poor connection occurs due to the cross-sectional shape of the groove. Although support by this groove is preferable, there are difficulties in the means of electrical connection. The object of the present invention is to prevent this disconnection of the connecting conductor. [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a disk-shaped crystal plate that is rotated 30 to 40 degrees counterclockwise around the X-axis from a raw crystal stone, and a disk-shaped A vibrating part is provided, and this vibrating part is integrated with the peripheral part connected by the remaining thickness of an annular groove equally half-etched from both sides of the crystal plate as a support part, and the vibrating part is formed in the plane of the vibrating part. A conductive metal film that connects the excitation electrodes on both sides and support electrodes provided on each surface of the peripheral part is radially led out from the center of the vibrating part and arranged on a line parallel to the X axis. This prevents disconnection of the conductive metal film. [Function] The groove that supports the vibrating part made with the above configuration is formed on the center line of the thickness, which is considered to have the least influence on the main vibration of thickness shear. Therefore, the main vibration can be suppressed less than the effect of bevel processing performed in response to a low resonant frequency, and support can be achieved with extremely low loss. However, it is more efficient to form the metal film for electrically connecting the electrode provided for exciting the vibrating part and the supporting electrode provided on the support part at once by vapor deposition or the like. However, at this time, the cross-sectional shape of the half-etched groove is in a restricted position due to the cutting angle of the crystal plate, and that part is located approximately at the center of the vibrating part formed on the crystal plate. street,
And only on the line parallel to the X axis. Therefore, if a conductive film is placed on this part by vapor deposition, it can be easily electrically connected to the electrode of the vibrating part. [Example] Examples of the present invention will be explained below based on the drawings. Figures 1 (a), (b), and (C) show examples of the present invention, and (a) shows a crystal A plan view of the plate, (b) is a cross-section seen from the X-axis direction of the crystal plate, and (c) is a cross-section seen from the direction perpendicular to the X-axis of the crystal plate. This crystal plate 20 is , is processed by cutting out a crystal plate by rotating the X-axis of the raw crystal 30 to 40 degrees counterclockwise.This process involves applying resists on both sides of the crystal plate to prevent etching. The bare surface of the quartz plate, which has been removed in an annular manner surrounding the circle in the center of the film, is selectively etched.Then, the etching from both sides is stopped midway through so-called half-etching, and the central part is etched. A disc-shaped diaphragm 1 is formed. Grooves 8 and 8' created by this half etching
is provided with a diaphragm 1 and excitation electrodes 2 and 2' for exciting it on the inside, and has an outer peripheral part 9 on the outside, on which support electrodes 2l and 21' for support and electrical connection are provided. be,
The inner excitation electrodes 2, 2' and the support electrodes 21, 2
There are conductive films 22 and 22' connecting 1' and 22', which cross 8 and 8' to provide electrical continuity. However, as shown enlarged in FIGS. 8B and 8C, a conductive film 22 of a metal film is uniformly formed on the concave bottom surfaces 81 and 81' and the side surfaces 82 and 82' of the grooves 8 and 8'. Depositing 22' is difficult because the formation of a film by vapor deposition or the like depends on the direction of deposition. In particular, in practice, as shown in the enlarged part of Fig. 1(b), the deformed groove becomes inclined, and this is due to the direction along the easy axis (two axes) of etching being prioritized in relation to the crystal axis of the crystal. In such a groove, a dark area (a) is formed in the direction of deposition, so the metal does not adhere and an electrical disconnection occurs.However, this slope is caused by the above-mentioned Since it depends on the crystal orientation, the bottom surfaces 81, 81' and side surfaces of the concave portions of grooves 8 and 8' can be the same for all annular grooves, as shown in the enlarged part of FIG. 1(c). There is a portion where the sides of 82 and 82' touch each other at right angles, and the conductive films 22 and 22' are easily formed at this position without forming a dark area (a). The feature of the present invention is that the above-mentioned position is the intersection of the line extending from the center of the ring in the X-axis direction and the circumference, and conductive films 22 and 22' for connection are applied at this position, and the excitation electrode 2 and 2' passes radially to reach the supporting electrodes 2l and 21' on the outer circumference 9. The crystal plate 20 made in this way is held in the case as shown in FIGS. 3(a), (b) and 4.
The support electrodes 21, 21' on the outer peripheral part 9 are fixed to the contact part of the case with a bonding agent 13 such as a conductive adhesive.
Figures (a) and (b) show the case where the package is sealed in a flat package. Figure (a) shows the package lid 1.
2 is a partially cutaway plan view, and FIG. 2(b) is a sectional view from the side thereof. The metallized film 1 is fixed with a bonding agent 13 such as an adhesive.
This flat package, which is led out to the bottom surface of the container 10 at 1, is suitable as a crystal resonator unit when planarly mounted on a circuit board of an electronic device. When sealed in a container 7 similar to the conventional one shown in FIG.
' is the extended boss l4, 14 of the lead terminals 6, 6'
′ is fixed over a wide area. As described above, the vibrator according to the present invention can be easily miniaturized, and the number of parts required for assembly is small, and vibrations are not suppressed even if the vibrator is held firmly, so it can be made simple. .. In the above embodiment, the shape of the outer circumferential portion 9 is rectangular, but of course it may be circular or any other shape.
