Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、携帯用通信機器等の電子機器に用いられる表面実装型圧電発振器に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より、携帯用通信機器等の電子機器に圧電発振器が用いられている。
かかる従来の圧電発振器としては、例えば図4に示す如く、下面に凹部25を有し、内部に水晶振動素子等の圧電振動素子24が収容された容器体23を、発振制御用のIC素子26を上面に搭載した実装用基体21上に、前記IC素子26が凹部25内に収容されるようにして取着・固定した構造のものが知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
【0003】
このような圧電発振器を構成する実装用基体21の上面には、IC素子26の搭載領域にIC素子26の接続パッドに半田等を介して電気的に接続される複数個の電極パッド27と、容器体23の取着領域(図4(a)に示した点線よりも外側の領域)に容器体下面の接合電極に半田等を介して電気的に接続される複数個の接合電極28とが設けられ、また実装用基体21の下面には、この圧電発振器をマザーボード等の外部電気回路と電気的に接続させるための端子となる複数個の外部端子22が被着・形成されている。
【0004】
尚、前記容器体23は、その内部に収容されている圧電振動素子24を大気と遮断して気密封止するためのものであり、電気絶縁性材料から成る基板の上面にシールリングを、該シールリングの内側に圧電振動素子24をそれぞれ取着させ、前記シールリングの上面に金属製の蓋体をシーム溶接(抵抗溶接)等で接合することによって圧電振動素子24が収容される空間を気密封止するようにしている。

【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上述した従来の表面実装型圧電発振器においては、容器体23及び実装用基体21が、その両者間に部分的に介在されている導電性接合材の接合力のみによって機械的に接続されていることから、必ずしも十分な接続強度を備えているとは云えず、容器体23及び実装用基体21間に大きな熱応力等が印加された場合には接合部の破損を招来する恐れがあり、このことが表面実装型圧電発振器の信頼性を低下させる原因の一つとなっていた。
【0007】
また上述した従来の表面実装型圧電発振器においては、IC素子26を収容する容器体23の凹部25が容器体下面の中央に設けられており、凹部25の内壁面がIC素子26を囲繞するように配置されている。それ故、表面実装型圧電発振器の全体構造がIC素子26の外寸よりも一回り大きくならざるを得ず、表面実装型圧電発振器の小型化に供することが不可となる欠点も有していた。
【0008】
更に上述した従来の表面実装型圧電発振器においては、実装用基体21とIC素子26との接合部が凹部25の内壁面等によって取り囲まれており、接合部を直視しにくい構造となっていることから、IC素子26と容器体23とを実装用基体21に対して同時に接合するような場合、製品の検査等に際してIC素子26の接合状態を目視等によって確認することが困難で、検査の作業性が悪いという欠点も有していた。
【0009】
本発明は上記欠点に鑑み案出されたもので、その目的は、生産性及び信頼性に優れ、全体構造の小型化にも供することができる表面実装型圧電発振器を提供することにある。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の表面実装型圧電発振器は、内部に圧電振動素子が収容され、下面に複数の第1接合電極及び直方体状の凹部を有した容器体を、上面に複数個の第2接合電極及び複数個の電極パッドを有した実装用基体上に載置させるとともに、前記実装用基体の上面と前記凹部の内面とで囲まれる領域に、下面に複数個の接続パッドを有した発振制御用の矩形状のIC素子を配置させ、前記第1接合電極と前記第2接合電極、前記電極パッドと前記接続パッドを導電性接合材を介して接続させるようにした表面実装型圧電発振器であって、前記実装用基体及びIC素子間の間隙に樹脂材を充填させるとともに、該樹脂材の外周部を容器体下面と実装用基体上面とが対向する領域まで延在させて前記容器体及び実装用基体間の間隙に充填せしめたことを特徴とするものである。
【0011】
また本発明の表面実装型圧電発振器は、前記導電性接合材の表面が前記樹脂材によって被覆されていることを特徴とするものである。
【0012】
更に本発明の表面実装型圧電発振器は、前記樹脂材が、前記容器体下面と前記実装用基体上面とが対向する領域において実装用基体上面、容器体下面の双方に対し被着されていることを特徴とするものである。
【0013】
また更に本発明の表面実装型圧電発振器は、前記凹部が容器体の側面に開口させてあり、該凹部の内側面と対向するIC素子の2個の側面を前記凹部の内側面に近接配置させるとともに、前記IC素子の前記側面と直交する側面を前記開口部より露出させたことを特徴とするものである。
【0014】
本発明の表面実装型圧電発振器によれば、実装用基体及びIC素子間の間隙に樹脂材を充填させるとともに、該樹脂材の外周部を容器体下面と実装用基体上面とが対向する領域まで延在させて容器体及び実装用基体間の間隙にも充填させて樹脂材を容器体下面、実装用基体上面の双方に対し被着させるようにしたことから、IC素子の回路形成面(下面)を樹脂材の被覆により良好に保護することができるとともに、前記実装用基体に対する容器体及びIC素子の取着強度を樹脂材でもって補強し、表面実装型圧電発振器の機械的強度を高く維持して信頼性を向上させることが可能となる。
【0015】
また本発明の表面実装型圧電発振器によれば、前記導電性接合材の表面を前記樹脂材によって被覆しておくことにより、大気中に含まれている水分等の接触による導電性接合材の腐食等が有効に防止され、導電性接合材が樹脂材でもって良好に保護されるようになる。
【0016】
更に本発明の表面実装型圧電発振器によれば、容器体下面の凹部を容器体の側面に開口させた上、該凹部の内側面と対向するIC素子の2個の側面を前記凹部の内側面に近接配置させるとともに、IC素子の前記側面と直交する2個の側面を前記開口部より露出させることにより、表面実装型圧電発振器の全体構造を小型化することができるようになる。
【0017】
しかもこの場合、前記樹脂材を導電性接合材を透視し得る程度の透光性を有した樹脂で形成しておけば、IC素子と実装用基体との接合部の状態や樹脂材の被着状態を目視等によって容易に確認することができるため、製品の検査等が簡単になり、表面実装型水晶発振器の生産性を向上させることが可能となる。
【0018】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を添付図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。
図1は本発明の表面実装型圧電発振器を表面実装型水晶発振器に適用した実施形態を示す分解斜視図、図2は図1の表面実装型水晶発振器の断面図、図3は図1の表面実装型水晶発振器を下方より見た平面図であり、これらの図に示す表面実装型水晶発振器は、内部に圧電振動素子としての水晶振動素子5を収容した容器体1と、発振制御用のIC素子7とを、実装用基体6の上面に取着・固定した構造を有している。
【0019】
前記容器体1は、例えば、ガラス−セラミック、アルミナセラミックス等のセラミック材料から成る基板2と、42アロイやコバール,リン青銅等の金属から成るシールリング3と、該シールリング3と同様の金属から成る蓋体4とから成り、前記基板2の上面にシールリング3を取着させ、その上面に蓋体4を載置・固定させることによって容器体1が構成され、シールリング3の内側に位置する基板2の上面に水晶振動素子5が実装される。
【0020】
前記容器体1は、その内部、具体的には、基板2の上面とシールリング3の内面と蓋体4の下面とで囲まれる空間内に水晶振動素子5を収容して気密封止するためのものであり、基板2の上面には水晶振動素子5の振動電極に接続される一対の搭載パッド8a等が、また基板2の下面には容器体1の側面に開放された概略直方体状の凹部1cと、該凹部1cの両側に配され、実装用基体6の接合電極9bに後述する導電性接合材11を介して電気的に接続される複数個の接合電極8b(以下、第1接合電極という。)を下面に有した一対の脚部1a,1bが設けられている。
【0021】
前記容器体1の内部に収容される水晶振動素子5は、所定の結晶軸でカットした水晶片の両主面に一対の振動電極を被着・形成してなり、外部からの変動電圧が一対の振動電極を介して水晶片に印加されると、所定の周波数で厚みすべり振動を起こすようになっている。
【0022】
この水晶振動素子5は、一対の振動電極を導電性接着材10を介して基板上面の対応する搭載パッド8aに電気的に接続させることによって基板2の上面に搭載され、これによって水晶振動素子5と容器体1との電気的接続及び機械的接続が同時になされる。
【0023】
また前記容器体1の下面に設けられている凹部1cは、その内部に後述するIC素子7を収容するためのものであり、また前記脚部1a,1bは容器体1と同質の材料によって一体的に取着・形成され、容器体1の凹部底面と実装用基体6の上面との間にIC素子7を配置させるための空間を確保するスペーサとして機能するものである。
【0024】
このような凹部1cは、容器体1の下面に、その中央域を略一定の幅で縦断するように矩形状に形成され、その両側に配される一対の脚部1a,1bも各々が概略矩形状をなすように形成される。
【0025】
尚、上述した容器体1の基板2は、ガラス−セラミック等のセラミック材料から成る場合、例えば、セラミック材料粉末に適当な有機溶剤等を添加・混合して得たセラミックグリーンシートの表面等に配線導体8となる導体ペーストを所定パターンに印刷・塗布するとともに、これを複数枚積層してプレス成形した後、高温で焼成することによって製作される。このような基板2の製造工程において、セラミックグリーンシートの積層前に、積層シートの下方に配されるセラミックグリーンシートの所定箇所に貫通穴を設けておくことにより凹部1cが形成される。
【0026】
また前記容器体1のシールリング3及び蓋体4は従来周知の金属加工法を採用し、42アロイ等の金属を所定形状に成形することによって製作され、得られたシールリング3を基板2の上面に予め被着させておいた導体層にロウ付けし、続いて水晶振動素子5を導電性接着剤10を用いて基板2の上面に実装・固定した後、上述の蓋体4を従来周知の抵抗溶接等によってシールリング3の上面に接合することによって容器体1が組み立てられる。このようにシールリング3と蓋体4とを抵抗溶接によって接合する場合、シールリング3や蓋体4の表面には予めNiメッキ層やAuメッキ層等が被着される。
【0027】
ここで容器体1の金属製蓋体4を容器体1の配線導体8や実装用基体6の配線導体9を介して後述するグランド端子用の外部端子9cに接続させておけば、その使用時、蓋体4がアースされることによりシールド機能が付与されることとなるため、水晶振動素子5や後述するIC素子7を外部からの不要な電気的作用より良好に保護することができる。従って、容器体1の金属製蓋体4は容器体1の配線導体8や実装用基体6の配線導体9を介してグランド端子用の外部端子9cに接続させておくことが好ましい。
【0028】
尚、上述した容器体1の第1接合電極8bや搭載パッド8aは、基板表面の配線パターンや基板内部に埋設されているビアホール導体等の配線導体8を介して、対応するもの同士、相互に電気的に接続される。
【0029】
そして、上述した容器体1やIC素子7等が取着・搭載される実装用基体6の上面には、IC素子7の搭載領域にIC素子下面の接続パッド7aに電気的に接続される複数個の電極パッド9aが、容器体1の取着領域に脚部下面の第1接合電極8bに電気的に接続される複数個の接合電極(以下、第2接合電極という。)9bが設けられ、また実装用基体6の下面には、4つの外部端子9c(電源電圧端子、グランド端子、発振出力端子、発振制御端子)が設けられている。
【0030】
前記実装用基体6は、ガラス布基材エポキシ樹脂やポリカーボネイト,エポキシ樹脂,ポリイミド樹脂等の樹脂材料やガラス−セラミック,アルミナセラミックス等のセラミック材料等によって平板状をなすように形成されており、その表面に設けられる電極パッド9a、第2接合電極9b、外部端子9c等は実装用基体6に埋設されたビアホール導体等の配線導体9を介して相互に電気的に接続される。
【0031】
また上述した4個の外部端子9cは、表面実装型水晶発振器をマザーボード等の外部電気回路に搭載する際、外部電気回路の回路配線と半田等の導電性接着剤を介して電気的に接続されるようになっており、これら4個の外部端子9cのうち、グランド端子と発振出力端子を近接配置させておくようにすれば、発振出力端子より出力される発振信号にノイズが干渉するのを有効に防止することができる。従って、グランド端子と発振出力端子とを近接配置させておくことが好ましい。
【0032】
尚、前記実装用基体6は、ガラス布基材エポキシ樹脂から成る場合、ガラス糸を編み込んで形成したガラス布基材にエポキシ樹脂の液状前駆体を含浸させるとともに、該前駆体を高温で加熱・重合させることによってベースが形成され、その表面に貼着される銅箔等の金属箔を従来周知のフォトエッチング等を採用し、所定パターンに加工することによって配線導体が形成される。
【0033】
また一方、前記実装用基体6上に搭載されるIC素子7としては、その下面に実装用基体6の対応する電極パッド9aに電気的に接続される複数個の接続パッド7aを有した矩形状のフリップチップ型ICが用いられ、その内部には、周囲の温度状態を検知する感温素子(サーミスタ)、水晶振動素子5の温度特性を補償する温度補償データを有し、該温度補償データに基づいて前記水晶振動素子5の振動特性を温度変化に応じて補正する温度補償回路、該温度補償回路に接続されて所定の発振出力を生成する発振回路等が設けられている。このようなIC素子7の発振回路で生成された発振出力は、外部に出力された後、例えば、クロック信号等の基準信号として利用されることとなる。
【0034】
このようなIC素子7は、その下面に設けられている複数の接続パッド7aを、実装用基体上面の対応する電極パッド9aに後述する導電性接着剤11を介して電気的に接続させることによって実装用基体6の上面に取着され、これによってIC素子7内の電子回路が容器体1の配線導体8や実装用基体6の配線導体9等を介して水晶振動素子5や外部端子9c等と電気的に接続される。
【0035】
尚、前記IC素子7の温度補償回路に温度補償データを書き込むための書込制御端子(図示せず)は実装用基体6の側面や下面等に設けられ、これらの書込制御端子にデータ書込装置のプローブ針を当て、IC素子7の温度補償回路内に設けられているメモリに水晶振動素子5の温度特性に応じた温度補償データを書き込むことによって温度補償回路内に温度補償データが格納される。また、このような書込制御端子は、表面実装型水晶発振器の製造プロセス中、実装用基体6等と一体的に設けられる外部の捨代部に配置させておき、温度補償データの書き込みが終了した後でこの捨代部を実装用基体6等から切り離すようにしても良く、そのようにして表面実装型水晶発振器を製造することにより、全体構造を小型化して、構成を簡素化することができる。
【0036】
また更に上述したIC素子7は、4個の側面のうち平行に配置されている2個の側面が、その全面にわたり、上述した一対の脚部1a,1bの側面に対向して近接配置されるようになっており、この2個の側面と直交する残りの2個の側面を容器体1の側面、具体的には、一対の脚部1a,1bの端面間の領域より露出させている。ここで、前記IC素子7の側面と前記脚部1a,1bの側面との間にできる間隙の幅は、例えば10μm〜500μmに設定され、またIC素子7の2個の露出側面は、容器体1の外周部よりも若干内側、例えば、容器体1の外周より1μm〜500μmだけ内側に、容器体1の外周部に沿って配されている。
【0037】
このような表面実装型水晶発振器は、IC素子7の露出側面と直交する方向に係る容器体1や実装用基体6の幅寸法がIC素子7の一辺の長さと略等しくなるように設計され、またIC素子7の露出側面と平行な方向に係る容器体1の幅寸法がIC素子7の一辺の長さと脚部1a,1bの幅との和と略等しくなるように設計されているため、表面実装型水晶発振器の全体構造を縦・横いずれの方向にも小型に構成することができるようになる。
【0038】
そして、上述した実装用基体6に対する容器体1及びIC素子7の取着には、半田等の導電性接合材11とエポキシ樹脂等の樹脂材12とが用いられる。
具体的には、実装用基体6の電極パッド9aとICチップ7の接続パッド7aとの電気的接続及び機械的接続や、実装用基体6の第2接合電極9bと容器体1の第1接合電極8bとの電気的接続及び機械的接続には導電性接合材11が用いられ、更に樹脂材12を用いて双方の接合強度を補強するようにしている。
【0039】
かかる樹脂材12は、その一部を実装用基体6とIC素子7との間の間隙に充填し、この部分をICチップ7の下面と実装用基体6の上面の双方に被着させることによって実装用基体6に対するICチップ7の接合強度を補強し、また樹脂材12の外周部を容器体1の下面と実装用基体6の上面とが対向する領域まで延在させるとともに、該延在部を容器体1と実装用基体6との間の間隙に充填し、この部分を実装用基体6の上面と容器体1の下面の双方に被着させることによって実装用基体6に対する容器体1の接合強度を補強しており、このような樹脂材12によって第1接合電極8b及び第2接合電極9bを接合する導電性接合材11の表面と、接続パッド7a及び電極パッド9aを接合する導電性接合材11の表面とが被覆されている。
【0040】
前記樹脂材12は、IC素子7の取着領域から容器体1(脚部1a,1b)の取着領域にかけて単一の膜状をなすように連続的に介在されており、かかる樹脂材12を用いて実装用基体6に対するIC素子7及び容器体1の取着強度を補強することにより、表面実装型圧電発振器の機械的強度を高く維持して、その信頼性を向上させることができる。
【0041】
また前記IC素子7は、その下面(回路形成面)が樹脂材12でもって被覆されており、樹脂材12が電子回路を保護するための保護膜として機能するようになっていることから、電子回路の腐食等が有効に防止され、これによっても表面実装型圧電発振器の信頼性を向上させることができる。
【0042】
更に前記樹脂材12は導電性接合材11の表面にも被着され、これらの導電性接合材11も樹脂材12でもって被覆されているため、大気中に含まれている水分等の接触による腐食から導電性接合材11も良好に保護されるようになり、これによっても表面実装型圧電発振器の信頼性が向上される。
【0043】
またこの場合、前記樹脂材12を導電性接合材11を透視し得る程度の透光性を有した樹脂により形成しておけば、IC素子7と実装用基体6との接合部の状態や樹脂材12の被着状態を目視等によって容易に確認することができるため、製品の検査等が簡単になり、表面実装型水晶発振器の生産性を向上させることが可能となる。
【0044】
尚、前記容器体1及びIC素子7を実装用基体6上に取着させるには、例えば、まず実装用基体上面の第2接合電極9b及び電極パッド9a上に従来周知のスクリーン印刷等によってクリーム半田(導電性接合材)を印刷・塗布し、次に、IC素子7及び容器体1を、IC素子7の接続パッド7aが対応する電極パッド9a上に、また容器体1の第1接合電極8bが対応する第2接合電極9b上に配されるようにして両者を前記クリーム半田を介して実装用基体6上に載置させ、続いて前記クリーム半田を熱の印加によって溶融させ、対応する電極同士、パッド同士を半田接合することによって導電性接合材11による電気的・機械的接続を行ない、しかる後、硬化剤を配合したエポキシ樹脂の液状体をディスペンサ等を用いて容器体側面の開口部等からICチップ7の搭載領域等に塗布し、これを毛細管現象等によってICチップ7−実装用基体6間の間隙と容器体1−実装用基体6間の間隙の双方に浸透させた後、前記液状樹脂を高温で加熱・重合させることによって樹脂材12が形成され、これによって樹脂材12による機械的強度の補強がなされる。このとき、液状樹脂を上記間隙に短時間で良好に浸透させるには、例えば、実装用基体6−IC素子7間の間隙や容器体1−実装用基体6間の間隙が10μm〜50μmの場合、液状樹脂の粘度を10Pa・s〜30Pa・sの範囲内に調整しておくことが好ましい。
【0045】
尚、本発明は上述の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々の変更、改良等が可能である。
【0046】
例えば、上述した実施形態においては、圧電振動素子として水晶振動素子を用いた表面実装型水晶発振器を例にとって説明したが、これに代えて、圧電振動素子としてSAWフィルタ等の他の圧電振動素子を用いる場合にも本発明は適用可能である。
【0047】
また上述した実施形態においては、容器体1の蓋体4をシールリング3を介して基板2に接合させるようにしたが、これに代えて、基板2の上面に接合用のメタライズパターンを形成しておき、このメタライズパターンに対して蓋体4をダイレクトに溶接するようにしても構わない。
【0048】
更に上述した実施形態においては、容器体1の基板上面に直接シールリング3を取着させるようにしたが、これに代えて、基板2の上面に基板2と同材質のセラミック材料等から成る枠体を一体的に取着させた上、該枠体の上面にシールリング3を取着させるようにしても構わない。
【0049】
また更に上述した実施形態においては、脚部1a,1bの形状を矩形状となしたが、このような脚部1a,1bの内側面や外側面,角部等に切り欠きを設け、この切り欠きと接する脚部1a,1bの表面に導体パターンを被着させたり、或いは、切り欠きによってできた実装用基体上面のスペースにチップ状コンデンサ等の小さな電子部品素子を配置させるようにしても構わない。
【0050】
更にまた上述した実施形態において、IC素子7の側面と脚部1a,1bの側面との間にできる間隙に補強や封止等を目的として樹脂材等を充填するようにしても良いことは言うまでもない。
【0051】
【発明の効果】
本発明の表面実装型圧電発振器によれば、実装用基体及びIC素子間の間隙に樹脂材を充填させるとともに、該樹脂材の外周部を容器体下面と実装用基体上面とが対向する領域まで延在させて容器体及び実装用基体間の間隙にも充填させて樹脂材を容器体下面、実装用基体上面の双方に対し被着させるようにしたことから、IC素子の回路形成面(下面)を樹脂材の被覆により良好に保護することができるとともに、前記実装用基体に対する容器体及びIC素子の取着強度を樹脂材でもって補強し、表面実装型圧電発振器の機械的強度を高く維持して信頼性を向上させることが可能となる。
【0052】
また本発明の表面実装型圧電発振器によれば、前記導電性接合材の表面を前記樹脂材によって被覆しておくことにより、大気中に含まれている水分等の接触による導電性接合材の腐食等が有効に防止され、導電性接合材が樹脂材でもって良好に保護されるようになる。
【0053】
更に本発明の表面実装型圧電発振器によれば、容器体下面の凹部を容器体の側面に開口させた上、該凹部の内側面と対向するIC素子の2個の側面を前記凹部の内側面に近接配置させるとともに、IC素子の前記側面と直交する2個の側面を前記開口部より露出させることにより、表面実装型圧電発振器の全体構造を小型化することができるようになる。
【0054】
しかもこの場合、前記樹脂材を導電性接合材を透視し得る程度の透光性を有した樹脂で形成しておけば、IC素子と実装用基体との接合部の状態や樹脂材の被着状態を目視等によって容易に確認することができるため、製品の検査等が簡単になり、表面実装型水晶発振器の生産性を向上させることが可能となる。

In such a manufacturing process of the substrate 2, a concave portion 1 c is formed by providing a through hole at a predetermined position of the ceramic green sheet disposed below the laminated sheet before laminating the ceramic green sheet.
[0026]
The seal ring 3 and the lid 4 of the container body 1 are manufactured by molding a metal such as a 42 alloy into a predetermined shape by employing a conventionally known metal working method. After brazing to a conductor layer previously adhered to the upper surface, and then mounting and fixing the crystal resonator element 5 to the upper surface of the substrate 2 using a conductive adhesive 10, the above-described lid 4 is conventionally known.

[0027]
If the metal lid 4 of the container 1 is connected to an external terminal 9c for a ground terminal, which will be described later, via the wiring conductor 8 of the container 1 and the wiring conductor 9 of the mounting base 6, the metal lid 4 can be used at the time of use. Since the cover 4 is grounded to provide a shielding function, the quartz vibrating element 5 and an IC element 7 described later can be better protected from unnecessary external electrical action. Therefore, it is preferable that the metal lid 4 of the container 1 is connected to the external terminal 9c for the ground terminal via the wiring conductor 8 of the container 1 and the wiring conductor 9 of the mounting substrate 6.

If the ground terminal and the oscillation output terminal among these four external terminals 9c are arranged close to each other, noise does not interfere with the oscillation signal output from the oscillation output terminal. It can be effectively prevented. Therefore, it is preferable to arrange the ground terminal and the oscillation output terminal close to each other.

In addition, such a write control terminal is disposed in an external cut-off portion provided integrally with the mounting base 6 and the like during the manufacturing process of the surface mount type crystal oscillator, and the writing of the temperature compensation data is completed. After that, the cut-off portion may be separated from the mounting base 6 or the like. By manufacturing the surface-mounted crystal oscillator in this manner, the overall structure can be reduced in size and the configuration can be simplified. it can.
[0036]
Further, in the IC element 7 described above, two side faces arranged in parallel among the four side faces are arranged so as to face the side faces of the pair of legs 1a and 1b over the entire surface thereof. The remaining two side surfaces orthogonal to the two side surfaces are exposed from the side surface of the container body 1, specifically, the region between the end surfaces of the pair of leg portions 1a and 1b. Here, the width of the gap formed between the side surface of the IC element 7 and the side surfaces of the legs 1a and 1b is set to, for example, 10 μm to 500 μm, and the two exposed side surfaces of the IC element 7 are 1 is arranged along the outer periphery of the container body 1 slightly inside, for example, 1 μm to 500 μm inside the outer periphery of the container body 1.

Such a surface mount type crystal oscillator is designed such that the width dimension of the container 1 and the mounting base 6 in the direction orthogonal to the exposed side surface of the IC element 7 is substantially equal to the length of one side of the IC element 7. Further, since the width dimension of the container body 1 in the direction parallel to the exposed side surface of the IC element 7 is designed to be substantially equal to the sum of the length of one side of the IC element 7 and the widths of the legs 1a and 1b, The entire structure of the surface mount type crystal oscillator can be made compact in both vertical and horizontal directions.

[0039]
By filling a part of the resin material 12 into a gap between the mounting substrate 6 and the IC element 7, the resin material 12 is attached to both the lower surface of the IC chip 7 and the upper surface of the mounting substrate 6. The bonding strength of the IC chip 7 to the mounting substrate 6 is reinforced, and the outer peripheral portion of the resin material 12 is extended to a region where the lower surface of the container body 1 and the upper surface of the mounting substrate 6 are opposed to each other.

[0040]
The resin material 12 is continuously interposed in a single film form from the attachment area of the IC element 7 to the attachment area of the container 1 (legs 1a, 1b). By reinforcing the attachment strength of the IC element 7 and the container body 1 to the mounting base 6 by using, the mechanical strength of the surface-mount type piezoelectric oscillator can be maintained high and the reliability thereof can be improved.

Further, the resin material 12 is also adhered to the surface of the conductive bonding material 11, and since the conductive bonding material 11 is also covered with the resin material 12, the resin material 12 is contacted by moisture or the like contained in the atmosphere. The conductive bonding material 11 is also well protected from corrosion, which also improves the reliability of the surface mount type piezoelectric oscillator.
[0043]
Further, in this case, if the resin material 12 is formed of a resin having a light transmitting property enough to allow the conductive bonding material 11 to be seen through, the state of the bonding portion between the IC element 7 and the mounting base 6 and the resin Since the adhered state of the material 12 can be easily confirmed visually or the like, the inspection of the product and the like can be simplified, and the productivity of the surface mount type crystal oscillator can be improved.

The electrodes and the pads are solder-bonded to perform electrical and mechanical connection by the conductive bonding material 11. Thereafter, a liquid material of epoxy resin containing a curing agent is applied to the side of the container body using a dispenser or the like. It was applied to the mounting area of the IC chip 7 or the like from the mouth or the like, and this was penetrated into both the gap between the IC chip 7 and the mounting base 6 and the gap between the container 1 and the mounting base 6 by capillary action or the like. Thereafter, the resin material 12 is formed by heating and polymerizing the liquid resin at a high temperature, whereby the mechanical strength of the resin material 12 is reinforced. At this time, in order to allow the liquid resin to penetrate the gap well in a short time, for example, when the gap between the mounting base 6 and the IC element 7 and the gap between the container body 1 and the mounting base 6 are 10 μm to 50 μm, Preferably, the viscosity of the liquid resin is adjusted within a range of 10 Pa · s to 30 Pa · s.
