Abstract
A piezoelectric vibrator has a container having a hermetically sealed cavity and a transparent portion for transmitting therethough a laser beam into the hermetically sealed cavity. A piezoelectric vibrator piece is disposed in the hermetically sealed cavity. A gettering substance is disposed directly on a surface of the piezoelectric vibrator piece so that when a laser beam is irradiated on the metal film through the transparent portion of the container the metal film is vaporized to absorb any gases contained in the hermetically sealed cavity of the container to thereby increase a degree of vacuum within the hermetically sealed cavity.
