Abstract
A method of manufacturing is employed to produce a size-reduced frequency control device (300), according to the present invention. A temperature compensation circuit (304) and an unsealed piezoelectric element (302) are disposed on a substrate (306) such that the compensation circuit and the unsealed piezoelectric element are electrically connected. A hermetic seal (318) is established between a lid (308) and the substrate such that the unsealed piezoelectric element and at least a temperature sensitive portion of the temperature compensation circuit occupy a sealed environment (320). In this manner, dimensions (322, 324) of the frequency control device are reduced.
