  • Patent number: 7098580
    Abstract: A quartz-crystal oscillator has a configuration wherein a rectangular container 1 accommodating a piezoelectric oscillator device 5 therein is fixed to a rectangular supporting substrate 6 on which an IC device 7 is mounted via spacer members 12 formed of metal bodies. On the surface of the supporting substrate 6, part or all of the IC device 7 and side faces of the spacer members are coated with a resin material. When the quartz-crystal oscillator is implemented on a main board by soldering or the like, the problem that the solder for bonding the quartz-crystal oscillator to the main board is adhered to the spacer members 12, thereby causing a short-circuit can be effectively prevented.

  • Publication number: 20050055814
    Abstract: A master substrate 15 is prepared which is partitioned into plural substrate regions A, formed with a window 16 in each of the substrate regions A, and provided with a throw-away region B between a respective pair of adjoining substrate regions A, the throw-away region including a write control terminal 12. A package 1 including a recess 11 is loaded from one side of the master substrate so as to be mounted on the substrate region A in a manner to close the window 16. A quartz-crystal oscillator device 5 is accommodated in the recess 11 of each package 1, while an aperture of the recess 11 is sealed with a closure 4. An IC 6 is inserted through the window 16 from the other side of the master substrate 15 so as to be mounted to a lower side of the package 1. Temperature compensation data for the quartz-crystal oscillator device 5 are written to a memory in the IC 6 via the write control terminal 12.
