  • Patent number: 9362885
    Abstract: A piezoelectric device includes a piezoelectric vibrating piece, a lid portion, and a base portion. The piezoelectric vibrating piece includes: a vibrating portion; a framing portion surrounding the vibrating portion; an excitation electrode in the vibrating portion; and an extraction electrode electrically connected to the excitation electrode in the framing portion. The lid portion is bonded to a front surface of the piezoelectric vibrating piece via a bonding material. The base portion includes an external electrode bonded to a back surface of the piezoelectric vibrating piece via a bonding material and electrically connected to the extraction electrode. The excitation electrode and the extraction electrode each include: a foundation film formed of metal to be rendered passive; and a first metal film and a second metal film laminated to the foundation film. The foundation film has a film thickness of 1.0 nm to 8.0 nm.

  • Publication number: 20140252919
    Abstract: A piezoelectric device includes a piezoelectric vibrating piece, a lid portion, and a base portion. The piezoelectric vibrating piece includes a vibrating portion, a framing portion surrounding the vibrating portion, an excitation electrode on the vibrating portion, and an extraction electrode on the framing portion. The extraction electrode is electrically connected to the excitation electrode. The lid portion is bonded to a front surface of the piezoelectric vibrating piece. The base portion is bonded to a back surface of the piezoelectric vibrating piece. The base portion includes an external electrode electrically connected to the extraction electrodes. The framing portion includes a metallic layer that allows a passivation. The metallic layer is disposed at an outer peripheral edge portion corresponding to the extraction electrode on at least one of a front surface and a back surface.
