In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an AT-cut crystal resonator, which is an example of a thickness-shear piezoelectric resonator. crystal piece 2
is the X axis with the Z axis rotated approximately 35 degrees around the X axis.
It is cut out parallel to the -Z' plane, and has a rectangular parallelepiped shape with the X-axis direction as the longitudinal direction. In this example, the length is approximately 7.0 mm, the width is approximately 1.8 mm, and the thickness is approximately 1.2 mm.
It is said that On the surfaces 2a and 2b of the crystal blank 2, that is, on the X-Z' plane, aluminum thin films 3, 3, which can be doped with the crystal, are formed by vacuum evaporation or the like, and by doping, the surface layer of the crystal blank 2 is Non-piezoelectric regions 3a, 3a are provided in .

When an electric field is applied to the drive electrodes 4 and 5, the crystal resonator 1 performs thickness shear vibration. Figure 2 shows the vibration displacement of this thickness shear vibration. The vertical axis 7 in this figure represents the line where the vibration displacement is zero. According to this, the piezoelectric region 2c and the non-piezoelectric regions 3a, 3a
It is maximum near the interface with The vibration displacement is then gradually attenuated in the non-piezoelectric regions 3a, 3a. This can be seen from the fact that when the propagation coefficient in the thickness direction is examined from the plane wave solution of the thickness shear vibration, the piezoelectric basic equation, the equation of motion, and Laplace's equation, there is a damping solution in the thickness direction. In the present invention, the vibration displacement on the surfaces 2a and 2b is extremely small and becomes substantially zero.

Further, FIG. 3 shows the charge distribution during vibration of the crystal resonator 1. The vertical axis 8 in this figure represents a line with zero charge. According to this, the charge distribution is also largest near the interface between the piezoelectric region 2c and the non-piezoelectric regions 3a, 3a, and gradually attenuates in the insulating non-piezoelectric regions 3a, 3a. In the present invention, the charge is transferred to the surfaces 2a, 2b in a detectable magnitude. Therefore, drive electrodes 4 and 5 can be formed on surfaces 2a and 2b. The piezoelectric vibration is performed by detecting electric charge using drive electrodes 4 and 5 formed on the surfaces 2a and 2b of the crystal piece 2.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to detect charges in the non-piezoelectric region, so there is no need to expose the piezoelectric region to the surface in order to attach the drive electrode as in the conventional method, and the non-piezoelectric region can be detected over the entire surface of both the front and back surfaces. A drive electrode can be provided there as a piezoelectric region. Furthermore, since the piezoelectric vibrator according to the present invention has extremely small vibrational displacement on both the front and back surfaces of the crystal piece and is virtually zero, it can be directly fixed onto a wiring board by adhesive or the like, eliminating the need for a holding member. This simplifies the configuration. Furthermore, since it can be mounted on the wiring board at the same time as other parts, assembly can be simplified and automated. The resonant frequency of a piezoelectric vibrator is determined by the piezoelectric region in the center, so even if dust or dirt adheres to the surface of the vibrator, which is a non-piezoelectric region, or the electrodes oxidize, the resonant frequency will be affected. There is no fear, and there is no need to use a sealed container, which simplifies the configuration. Furthermore, since the non-piezoelectric region is formed with a predetermined thickness outside the piezoelectric region, the overall thickness of the piezoelectric element can be made thicker than in the past, and a high-frequency thickness-shear vibrator with high strength can be provided.

[Effects] According to the present invention, since the thickness-shear vibrator can be directly mounted on the wiring board without being exposed, a holding member is not required and the mounting process is also simplified. Additionally, since both the front and back sides of the vibrator can be completely non-piezoelectric areas, there is no risk of fluctuations in vibration characteristics due to external influences such as dust or dirt, and there is no need to seal the vibrator. . In this way, the number of parts for installing the vibrator is reduced, the configuration is simple, and the installation space is reduced. Furthermore, the impact resistance and vibration resistance after the vibrator is attached are also improved.
