Abstract
A piezoelectric resonator using a thickness extensional vibration mode, comprises a vibrator portion made up of two or more layers of piezoelectric thin-films where the piezoelectric thin-films and a plurality of insulating thin films are alternately laminated. An alternating voltage is independently applied to each layer of the piezoelectric thin-films for a higher-order vibration mode to be dominantly excited.
