Abstract
A vibration element includes a substrate having first and second principal surfaces, a first excitation electrode on the first principal surface, a second excitation electrode on the second principal surface, and a first extraction electrode on the first principal surface, and connected to the first excitation electrode. The first extraction electrode includes a first electrode section, and a second electrode section extending from the first electrode section in a first direction and connected to the first excitation electrode. The second electrode section is narrower in a second direction than the first electrode section. When an area of the first excitation electrode is S1, and an area of an overlapping part where the second electrode section overlaps the second excitation electrode is S2, (S2/S1)≦0.1.
