A quartz crystal resonator unit that includes a quartz crystal resonator, a lid member and a base member defining an internal space that accommodates the quartz crystal resonator, and a sealing frame and a joining material joining the lid member and the base member to each other. In a plan view of a principal surface of the base member, the sealing frame and the joining material have a frame shape surrounding the quartz crystal resonator, and the frame shape has a uniform width.

Piezoelectric resonator unit and method for manufacturing the piezoelectric resonator unit

A quartz crystal resonator that includes an AT-cut quartz crystal blank that is plate-shaped and that is rectangular when viewed in a direction normal to a main surface thereof; and a first outer electrode and a second outer electrode disposed on the main surface and arranged in a short-side direction of the main surface. Long sides of the main surface are substantially parallel to a Z' axis of the quartz crystal blank. The short sides of the main surface are substantially parallel to an X axis of the quartz crystal blank. A frequency of a main vibration of the quartz crystal blank is in a range of 20.0 MHz to 60.0 MHz, and 0.050&#x2264;P&#x2264;&#x2212;0.0047&#xd7;F+1.728, where P (mm) is a distance between the first outer electrode and the second outer electrode in the short-side direction, and F (MHz) is the frequency of the main vibration.

Quartz crystal resonator and quartz crystal resonator unit

A method for manufacturing a piezoelectric resonator unit by forming a via conductor in a through hole of a ceramic substrate, forming a connection electrode foundation layer connected to the via conductor, and forming a sealing frame foundation layer in a substantially frame shape. The ceramic substrate is then fired together with the via conductor, the connection electrode foundation layer, and the sealing frame foundation layer. The surface of the connection electrode foundation layer and the surface of the sealing frame foundation layer are flattened by pressing the ceramic substrate from a first main surface side and a second main surface side thereof. A plating treatment is carried out to form a connecting electrode and a sealing frame. A piezoelectric resonator is electrically connected to the connection electrode.

Piezoelectric resonator unit and manufacturing method for the same

A rectangular quartz crystal blank having long sides substantially parallel to a Z' axis of the quartz crystal blank, and short sides substantially parallel to an X axis of the quartz crystal blank. The quartz crystal blank includes a first center region, a second region and a third region that are adjacent to the first region along a long-side direction, and a fourth region and a fifth region that are adjacent to the first region along a short-side direction.
