Abstract: A piezoelectric vibrator, an oscillator, an electronic device and a ratio timepiece are provided which are capable of increasing a capacitance C0 while achieving miniaturization and cost reduction. The piezoelectric vibrator includes a base substrate, a lid substrate, a piezoelectric vibrating reed on which an excitation electrode is formed, and external electrodes. An electrode pattern for capacitance adjustment, which extends along a routing electrode, is provided extending from a routing electrode.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a piezoelectric vibrator is provided. The piezoelectric vibrator includes: a package in which a first substrate and a second substrate are superimposed so as to form a cavity therebetween; extraction electrodes which are formed on the first substrate so as to be extracted from the inner side of the cavity to an outer edge of the first substrate; a piezoelectric vibrating reed which is sealed in the cavity and electrically connected to the extraction electrodes at an inner side of the cavity; and outer electrodes which are formed on an outer surface of the package so as to be electrically connected to the extraction electrodes at the outer side of the cavity.

Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a piezoelectric vibrator of the invention, the piezoelectric vibrator including a tuning fork type piezoelectric vibrating reed including a pair of vibration arm portions, a package that accommodates the piezoelectric vibrating reed, and a pair of regulation films that is formed along a longitudinal direction of the vibration arm portions corresponding to each of the pair of vibration arm portions, the piezoelectric vibrator being capable of regulating a degree of vacuum in the package more than a certain level by irradiating the regulation films with a laser to evaporate a part of the regulation films. The method includes a gettering process of irradiating a laser in symmetrical positions via a center axis of the pair of vibration arm portions in the pair of regulation films.

Abstract: A piezoelectric vibrating piece includes a pair of vibration arm portions that is placed in a row in a width direction; a base portion to which proximal end sides in the pair of vibration arm portions in an extending direction are connected; and weight metal films that are formed on outer surfaces of the vibration arm portions, wherein the weight metal films are formed in positions that avoid regions of tip portions in the vibration arm portions in a longitudinal direction.
