A quartz crystal device includes a crystal element, a container, a conductive adhesive having flexibility, first pillow portions, and a second pillow portion. The first pillow portions hold the crystal element floated from an inner bottom surface of the container at the proximities of the two positions. The second pillow portion opposes the crystal element at a proximity of a second side. The second side opposes the first side of the crystal element. A height of the first pillow portion is represented as h and a length of the first pillow portion in a direction perpendicular to the first side is represented as X, where the h is 20 &#x3bc;m to 50 &#x3bc;m and the Xis 150 &#x3bc;m or less. The conductive adhesive covers at least a top surface and a side surface of the first pillow portion. The side surface is in a center side of the crystal element.

Quartz crystal device

A single-chamber-type temperature-sensor-provided crystal unit includes: a single chamber; and a quartz-crystal vibrating piece and a temperature sensor, provided in the single chamber. The quartz-crystal vibrating piece has a square planar shape. The quartz-crystal vibrating piece is secured in the single chamber at two securing portions via conductive members. The two securing portions are in proximities of both ends of a first side of the quartz-crystal vibrating piece. The temperature sensor has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The temperature sensor is disposed such that a longitudinal surface of the temperature sensor is parallel to a line segment Y and the temperature sensor is close to a side of the two securing portions within the single chamber, when a line segment connecting the two securing portions is defined as the line segment Y.
