Abstract
An oscillation piece includes a first oscillation arm and a second oscillation arm, a first base that connects ends of the first oscillation arm and the second oscillation arm on one side to each other and a second base that connects ends of the first oscillation arm and the second oscillation arm on the other side to each other, and weight films provided on each of the first oscillation arm and the second oscillation arm. The drive electrodes are disposed in positions where the amount of distortion produced in the first oscillation arm and the second oscillation arm is maximized, and the weight films are disposed in positions where the amount of distortion produced in the first oscillation arm and the second oscillation arm is minimized. The oscillation frequency of the oscillation piece can be precisely adjusted by removing part of the weight films.
