  • Method for fabricating a surface-mountable crystal resonator
    Patent number: 5487211
    Abstract: A surface-mountable crystal resonator (100) is provided in the following manner. A first predetermined electrode pattern (105) and a second predetermined electrode pattern (201) are formed on a first major surface (104) and a second major surface (200), respectively, of a piezoelectric crystal substrate (101). Additionally, a first predetermined attachment electrode pattern (106), electrically coupled to the second predetermined attachment electrode pattern, and a second predetermined attachment electrode pattern (202), electrically coupled to the first predetermined attachment electrode pattern, are formed on a first attachment area (102) and a second attachment area (103), respectively. The first and second attachment areas include extensions (107) that, when mounted, allow a conductive adhesive (301), placed on a mounting substrate (300), to flow and establish electrical connections with the first and second predetermined attachment electrode patterns.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 19, 1993
    Date of Patent: January 30, 1996
    Assignee: Motorola, Inc.
    Inventors: Kevin L. Haas, Ken A. Haas, Kimber J. Vought
