Abstract
A method of rotating a non-temperature compensated Bechmann curve of a quartz strip. The method includes the steps of determining (102) whether a crystallographic orientation of an AT cut quartz strip is within a desired specification; selecting (104) a predetermined nominal electrode coverage having a nominal electrode width for an in-specification AT cut quartz strip; and tuning (106) an out of specification crystallographic orientation, by: adjusting (108) the electrode width with respect to the nominal electrode width, to bring the out-of-specification crystallographic orientation of an out-of-specification AT cut crystal quartz to within a desired specification having an in-specification Bechmann curve with an inflection point; and rotating (110) an out-of-specification Bechmann curve about the inflection point to substantially approach the desired in-specification Bechmann curve.
