  • Patent number: 9716484
    Abstract: A resonator element includes a quartz crystal substrate having a main surface along a plane including an X-axis and a Z?-axis, and a thickness in a Y?-axis direction. The quartz crystal substrate includes a vibrating portion including a side along the X-axis, a side along the Z?-axis, and a peripheral portion having a thickness smaller than that of the vibrating portion, which is provided along an outer edge of the vibrating portion. The vibrating portion includes a first portion and a second portion having a thickness smaller than that of the first portion, which is provided on at least an outer edge on a +X side of the X-axis and an outer edge on a ?X side thereof, among outer edges of the first portion. When Z is a length of the quartz crystal substrate along the Z?-axis, and t is a thickness of the first portion, 11<Z/t?53.

  • Patent number: 9712110
    Abstract: A resonator element includes a quartz crystal substrate in which a plane including X and Z? axes is set as a main plane and a direction oriented along a Y? axis is a thickness direction. The quartz crystal substrate includes a first region in which thickness shear vibration is generated, a second region that has a thickness thinner than the first region, and first protrusions that are disposed between one pair of electrode pads disposed to be lined in a direction oriented along a Z? axis on a mounted side of the second region. When Lx is a length of the first protrusions along the X axis and ? is a wavelength of flexural vibration of the quartz crystal substrate, a relation of “?/2×(2n+1)?0.1??Lx??/2×(2n+1)+0.1?” (where n is a positive integer) is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 9577574
    Abstract: A resonator includes: a resonator element including a quartz crystal substrate that includes a first area performing a thickness-shear vibration and a second area with a thickness thinner than the first area and located around the first area; and a base substrate to which the second area of the resonator element on one edge side thereof is attached via a bonding material. The quartz crystal substrate has a major surface that is a surface including an X-axis and a Z?-axis, and has a thickness in a direction along a Y?-axis. The resonator satisfies the relation: 1.5×??Xp where Xp is the maximum length of an area of the second area where the bonding material is bonded along the X-axis in a plan view and ? is the wavelength of a flexural vibration occurring in the quartz crystal substrate.
