Abstract
A smaller oscillator module enables oscillation frequency to be adjusted from the back after assembly is finished. The oscillator has oscillator circuit components mounted on the front of a circuit board having an internal dielectric layer, a back conductor layer covering a major part of the back of the circuit board, and at least a part of an inductor element of the oscillator circuit disposed internally with a part of an intervening dielectric layer from the back conductor layer. A slit or pinhole is formed in the back conductor. The oscillation frequency can then be adjusted after assembly is completed by emitting a trimming laser through this slit or pinhole to change the inductance by partially removing the dielectric layer and inductor element.
