A surface mount type quartz crystal device includes a quartz crystal vibrating piece and a base plate. The quartz crystal vibrating piece is configured to vibrate at a predetermined frequency. The base plate is made of a crystal or a glass. The base plate includes an external electrode disposed on a bottom surface of the base plate to mount the quartz crystal device. The quartz crystal vibrating piece is placed on an opposite surface of the bottom face. The external electrode includes a metal film formed on a surface of the base plate by sputtering, and an electroless plating film formed on a surface of the metal film by electroless plating. The electroless plating film includes a nickel layer including lead and bismuth.

Quartz crystal device and method for fabricating the same

A piezoelectric device includes a piezoelectric vibrating piece, a base plate, and a lid plate. The base plate includes one principal surface where the piezoelectric vibrating piece is placed and includes a connecting electrode electrically connected to the extraction electrode, and another principal surface including a mounting terminal. The lid plate seals the vibrator. The lid plate seals the vibrator. At least a part of the mounting terminal includes a first metal film, a second metal film, and an electroless plating film. The second metal film is formed to cover the first metal film or is formed at a part of a surface of the first metal film. The second metal film has a different area from the first metal film. The electroless plating film is formed at least on a surface of the second metal film by electroless plating.
