A resonance device that includes a MEMS substrate that includes a resonator, a top cover having a silicon oxide film on a surface thereof that faces the MEMS substrate, and a bonding part that bonds the MEMS substrate and the top cover to each other so as to seal a vibration space of the resonator. The silicon oxide film includes a through hole that is formed along at least part of the periphery of the vibration space when the top cover is viewed in a plan view and that penetrates to a surface of the top cover. The through hole includes a first metal layer.

Resonance device with substrate having oxide film containing through hole and metal therin, and manufacturing method therefor

A resonator is provided that includes a vibrating portion including three or more vibrating arms with at least two vibrating arms that bend out of plane with different phases and a base. The resonator also includes a frame that holds the vibrating portion; and a support arm having one end connected to the frame and the other end connected to a rear end portion of the base. The other end of the support arm is connected to a position in a range from −0.1 WB to 0.1 WB, with respect to a base width WB of the base, relative to a position, on the rear end portion of the base where a center line passes in a plan view. A support arm length of the support arm is 0.2 or more times and 0.4 or less times a vibrating arm length of the vibrating arms.

Resonator and resonance device

A resonance device that includes a MEMS substrate including a resonator, an upper lid that seals a vibration space of the resonator, and a ground portion positioned between the MEMS substrate and the upper lid, the ground portion being extended to an inside of the upper lid and electrically connected to the upper lid.

Resonance device and resonance device manufacturing method

A resonator may include a vibrating portion that includes a plurality of vibrating arms to numbering in three or more, each having a fixed end, and including at least two vibrating arms to bend out of plane with different phases and a base portion having a fore end portion to which the fixed end of each of the plurality of vibrating arms to is connected and a rear end portion opposed to the fore end portion; a holding portion configured to hold the vibrating portion; and a support arm having one end connected to the holding portion and the other end connected to the rear end portion of the base portion. The support arm is asymmetric with respect to a center line of the vibrating portion with respect to a longitudinal direction in plan view.

A resonator is provided that includes a vibration member including three or more vibration arms that each have a fixed end with at least two vibration arms performing out-of-plane bending at different phases. The resonator also includes a base having a front end connected to the fixed end of each of the vibration arms and a rear end opposing the front end. A frame holds the vibration member and two support arms are provided with first ends connected to the frame. The second ends of the two support arms are connected to a location in the rear end of the base.
