Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute degassing with heat treatment at a high temperature before sealing by copper-plating the surface of an air tight terminal and a sealing pipe in the container of cylinder type forcing in piezoelectric oscillators, which is constituted of the airtight terminal and the sealing pipe. SOLUTION: An airtight terminal 1 is cleaned, after it has been hermetically sealed by an insulating member (glass in general) 5. At first, strike plating 7 is executed for prescribed thickness in a copper cyanide bath, a uniform, minute and thin plating coat is generated, and adhesion and corrosion resistance are improved. Next, nickel silver is used for a sealing pipe 2, and copper sulfate plating is directly executed on it. Since the melting temperature of used copper is high, the airtight terminal and the sealing pipe after plating can be heat- treated. In the case of copper plating, heat treatment at a high temperature of not less than 300 deg.C can be executed and gas absorbed on the surface, and the plating coat can be removed completely. When a lead wire is copper-plated and soldering is difficult, normal solder plating is executed after sealing.

A tuning-fork type crystal vibrating piece 6 (not shown) on which an excitation electrode and a fixing electrode are formed is fixed to two lead wires 3 with an adhesive or the like. The sealing tube 2 is press-fitted. In the case of the tuning-fork type quartz resonator, the press-fitting operation is performed in a vacuum chamber because the electrical properties are better when the space in which the quartz resonator blank 6 is housed is in a vacuum state.

The press-fitted portions of the hermetic terminal 1 and the sealing tube 2 are plated with a soft metal in order to improve the airtightness after press-fitting. Tin-lead solder plating is frequently used, and in recent years, heat-resistant tuning-fork type quartz vibrators have used lead plating having a high melting point (solder containing 90% by weight or more lead). A combination in which both the hermetic terminal 1 and the sealing tube 2 are plated with a soft metal, and one of which is plated with a metal having high hardness such as nickel,
On the other hand, there is a combination in which a soft metal is plated, and solder plating is used in each case. Copper or nickel is plated as a base for solder plating.

The inside of the piezoelectric vibrator is press-fitted and sealed in a vacuum state, but if the surface of the airtight terminal or the sealing tube facing the space in the vacuum state is plated with solder. Depending on the storage temperature, the organic components and gases occluded in the solder plating film are gradually released into the space, and the pressure in the vacuum space increases. For example, when the pressure at the time of sealing is 1.3 Pa and it is stored at 25 ° C. after the sealing, it hardly changes.

It changes to 133 Pa when stored for 0 hours. Even if the pressure alone changes, the electric characteristics of the piezoelectric vibrator change, but the electric characteristics also change due to the gas or the like adhering to the piezoelectric vibrating reed, and the characteristics generally change in a poor direction.

Although mounting in a reflow furnace is for a short time, a high temperature of 260 ° C. is applied to the piezoelectric vibrator. The lead in the solder plating film evaporates and scatters into the space, and adheres to the surface of the piezoelectric vibrating reed. Also, if chlorine adheres, tin becomes tin chloride at about 100 ° C., evaporates, and adheres to the surface of the piezoelectric vibrating reed.
As described above, the electrical characteristics are deteriorated due to the adhesion.

FIG. 2 is a front sectional view of the hermetic terminal 1. FIG. After being hermetically sealed with an insulating member (generally glass) 5, it is washed. First, strike plating 7 is performed in a copper cyanide bath to a thickness of about 1 μm. In the strike plating method, plating is performed with a large current in a plating solution having a very low concentration of metal ions in a short time, so that a uniform, dense and thin plating film can be formed, and the adhesion and anticorrosion effects can be enhanced. Since the main component of the metal ring 4 and the lead wire 3 is iron, the strike plating 7 can improve the adhesion.
This is because there is no decrease in adhesion due to a substitution reaction between iron and copper generated by ordinary copper sulfate plating.

Next, copper sulfate plating 8 is performed. The plating thickness differs depending on the press-fitting allowance of the hermetic terminal and the sealing tube, and the state of the mating surface of the hermetic terminal and the sealing tube.
10-20 μm is preferred. If the plating thickness is too large, good results are not obtained in terms of economy and quality.

[0012] The sealing tube was made of nickel silver. Since nickel silver is the same alloy containing copper, nickel and zinc as main components, direct copper sulfate plating is possible. When a metal mainly composed of iron is used for the sealing tube, a plating process similar to that for the above-described hermetic terminal may be employed.

Since the melting temperature of copper is high, the hermetically sealed terminal and the sealed tube after plating can be heat-treated at a high temperature. Since normal solder plating softens at 183 ° C and lead plating at 296 ° C, heat treatment is usually 130 ° C for solder plating and 200 ° C or less for lead plating, at most 150 ° C for solder plating and 250 ° C for lead plating. Because of the following heat treatment, the gas occluded on the surface and the plating film could not be completely removed. However, in the case of copper plating, heat treatment at a high temperature of 300 ° C. or more became possible.
