  • Publication number: 20230132534
    Abstract: An oscillator frequency modulation method includes: providing a piezoelectric material having a surface and an interior; and performing a pattern process on the piezoelectric material by a laser. A patterned processing zone is formed on the surface and/or in the interior of the piezoelectric material. The pattern process may be a material removal and/or a material modification. Therefore, without changing the appearance of the piezoelectric material, the pattern process on the piezoelectric material through the laser can accurately adjust the frequency of the oscillator and block unnecessary mode at the same time. An oscillator piezoelectric structure with frequency modulation is also provided.
