The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a piezoelectric vibrating piece composed of a piezoelectric material such as crystal or tantalum, and a piezoelectric vibrating piece manufactured thereby, having The piezoelectric vibrator and the oscillator having the piezoelectric vibrator, the electronic device, and the radio wave clock. [Prior Art] In recent years, in a mobile phone or mobile information terminal device, a piezoelectric vibrator using a crystal or the like is used as a timing source or a reference signal source for a time source or a control signal. In view of the above, a piezoelectric vibrating piece having a tuning fork type is known. The piezoelectric vibrating piece is a vibrating piece that vibrates in a direction in which the vibrating arms are in close proximity or spaced apart from each other at a predetermined resonance frequency. However, in recent years, miniaturization of various electronic devices incorporating built-in piezoelectric vibrators has been developed, as represented by mobile phones and the like. Therefore, even with regard to the piezoelectric vibrating piece constituting the piezoelectric vibrator, further miniaturization is required. Therefore, regarding the piezoelectric vibrating piece, it is expected to reduce the length of the vibrating arm portion or the length of the base portion, and to shorten the total length. However, when the total length of the piezoelectric vibrating reed is shortened by shortening the length of the base portion, the mounting performance is lowered, and the vibration of the vibrating arm portion is likely to be unstable, and leakage vibration (leakage of vibration energy) is likely to occur through the base portion. Therefore, there is a possibility that CI値 (Crystal Impedance) will rise. Therefore, in order to shorten the overall length of the piezoelectric vibrating piece and to reduce the size, it is effective to shorten the length of the vibrating arm portion on the non-base side of the -5-201251317. However, when the length of the vibrating arm is shortened, R 1 値 (series resonance resistance 値) becomes high, and the vibration characteristics tend to deteriorate. In particular, since the RI is proportional to the effective resistance 値Re, the number 値 becomes high, and it is difficult to operate the piezoelectric vibrating piece with low power. Thus, in order to lower the R1 値, it is known that the vibration arm is The both main surfaces (back surface) form a groove along each of the longitudinal sides of the vibrating arm (see Patent Document 1). In the piezoelectric vibrating piece, a pair of vibrating arms are formed in a cross-sectional shape by the groove portion, so that the pair of vibrating electrodes are opposed to each other as much as possible. Therefore, the efficiency is better and the electric field is more likely to act than when the groove portion is not formed, and the vibration loss can be reduced. Therefore, the vibration characteristics can be improved, and R1 can be suppressed to be low. In order to reduce the size of the piezoelectric vibrating piece while suppressing the rise of R1値, it is effective to form a groove portion in the vibrating arm portion and shorten the length of the vibrating arm portion. The excitation electrodes are made of, for example, Au, Cr, or the like, and are arranged to be spaced apart at regular intervals. This configuration is then formed by photolithographic techniques using photoresist. The manufacturing process of the photolithography is performed by sputtering or the like on the surface of a pair of vibrating arms, and a photoresist film is disposed thereon, and a photoresist pattern is formed by exposure through the photomask. Then, the photoresist pattern is etched as a mask to form a pair of excitation electrodes. Here, the photoresist for the photoresist film is composed of a resin having a fluidity of sensitivity to ultraviolet light, and so on the surface of a pair of vibrating arms.

Therefore, as shown in Fig. 27(a), when the photoresist film 2〇1 is partially thick (Part A), as shown in Fig. 27(b), At the time of exposure, the bottom surface 202 is not exposed. As shown in Fig. 27(c), after development, the photoresist film 20 1 (part B) remains. Then, when the etching process is directly performed as described above, the pair of excitation electrodes are connected to each other, so that the electrode is short-circuited. Therefore, in order to make the surface uniform, it is known that the exposure time is increased and the thickness portion is sufficiently removed at the time of exposure. Further, there has been proposed a method of irradiating a laser to the formed photoresist pattern to adjust the shape of at least a part of the pattern (see Patent Document 2). [PRIOR ART DOCUMENT] [Patent Document 1] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2004- 1 20 556 [Patent Document 2] JP-A-2003-135A No. 875 (Invention) [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-described conventional (growth exposure time) manufacturing method, as shown in FIG. 28, in the region (C portion) where the thickness of the photoresist film 201 is formed in the normal range, the original region is When the width L1 is removed, the removal width L2 which is wider than this is removed. That is, there is a problem that the amount of removal is excessive, and the pattern size becomes thinner than expected, which affects the characteristics such as an increase in R1. Further, in the manufacturing method described in Patent Document 2, since the laser is irradiated to one of the uneven portions after the development, the 201251317 has a problem that it takes time and becomes expensive. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a piezoelectric vibrating piece manufactured by the piezoelectric vibrating piece manufactured by the present invention, which can improve the short-circuit defect of the electrode without increasing the resistance 値R1.

The opening width of the second opening is less than the opening width of the first opening. Therefore, the surface area of the photoresist film to be left is not deleted. The two exposure works sufficiently remove the photoresist film to be removed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a short circuit failure of a pair of electrodes. Further, a method of manufacturing a piezoelectric vibrating piece according to the present invention is to form a shape of a piezoelectric plate outside the shape forming process, and the piezoelectric plate has a pair of vibrating arms arranged in parallel a base portion integrally fixed to the pair of vibrating arms, and a longitudinal groove formed on a main surface of the pair of vibrating arms from a base end portion of the vibrating arm portion toward a distal end portion, wherein the pair of electrodes are formed The main surface electrode portion in the groove portion and the side surface electrode portion formed on the side surface of the vibrating arm portion, the gap between the pair of electrodes is a gap between the main surface electrode portion and the side surface electrode portion. In general, the interval between the side surface of the vibrating arm portion and the groove portion in the piezoelectric vibrating piece is extremely narrow due to the suppression of R 1 成 to be low. Therefore, the gap between the main surface electrode portion formed in the groove portion and the side surface electrode portion formed on the side surface of the vibrating arm portion becomes extremely narrow. In the method of manufacturing a piezoelectric vibrating piece according to the present invention, since the second opening portion is disposed in a region corresponding to the gap between the main surface electrode portion and the side surface electrode portion, the gap can be surely removed by the second exposure process. Photoresist film. Therefore, it is possible to prevent short-circuit failure of the main surface electrode portion and the side surface electrode portion in the gap. Further, in the piezoelectric vibrating piece manufacturing method according to the present invention, the opening width of the second opening portion is 0.6 times or more and 0.7 times or less the width of the opening of the first opening portion. 201251317 In the method of manufacturing a piezoelectric vibrating piece according to the invention, it is possible to prevent a short circuit between the electrodes and to secure a better gap. Further, a method of manufacturing a piezoelectric vibrating piece according to the present invention is to form a piezoelectric plate outer shape when the outer shape forming process is performed, and the piezoelectric plate has a pair of vibrating arms arranged in parallel, and The pair of vibrating arms are integrally fixed to the base portion, and the opening width of the first opening portion and the opening width of the second opening portion are substantially the same in a region corresponding to the fork portion of the pair of vibrating arms. In the vicinity of the fork portion, even if the amount of removal of the electrode film is excessive, the characteristic 等 such as an increase in R 1 is not affected. Here, by making the opening width of the first opening portion and the opening width of the second opening portion substantially the same, and removing the photoresist of the gap, it is possible to reliably prevent short-circuit defects between the electrodes. When the piezoelectric vibrating reed is manufactured by the method for producing the piezoelectric vibrating reed, the short circuit between the electrodes can be preferably suppressed. Further, the piezoelectric vibrator according to the present invention has the piezoelectric vibrating piece of the present invention described above.

(Manufacturing Method of Piezoelectric Vibrating Piece) Next, a method of manufacturing the above-described piezoelectric vibrating member 1 using a wafer made of a piezoelectric material will be described below with reference to a flowchart shown in Fig. 4 . First, the polishing is finished, and the wafer s (s 1) of a specific thickness is prepared by high precision grinding. Next, the wafer s is etched by photolithography to perform a shape forming process (S2) in which the plurality of piezoelectric plates 2 are formed on the wafer S. Specific instructions for the project. First, as shown in Fig. 5, an etching protection film 30 (S 2a) is formed on both sides of the wafer S. In the etching protection film 30, for example, a number of m chrome (C 〇 film is formed. Next, a photoresist film (not shown) is patterned on the etching protection film 30 by photolithography. At this time, patterning is performed. Surrounding the periphery of the piezoelectric plate 2 composed of a pair of vibrating arms 3, 4 and a base 5. Then, the photoresist film is etched as a mask, and the etching without masking is selectively removed. The protective film 30. Then, the photoresist film is removed after the etching process. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the shape may be along the outer shape of the piezoelectric plate 2, that is, a pair of vibrating arms 3 The etching protection film 30 (S2b) is patterned in a shape of 4, 4 and the base 5. In this case, patterning is performed only by the number of the plurality of piezoelectric plates 2. Further, Fig. 7 to Fig. 1 are along the 6 is a cross-sectional view of the BB line shown in Fig. 6. Next, the patterned etching protective film 30 is used as a mask, and the double-sided (S2c) of the wafer S is etched by -15-201251317. As shown in Fig. 8, in the region where the etching protection film 30 selectively removes the mask, the shape of the piezoelectric plate 2 can be made. Then, the outer shape forming process is completed (S2). Next, the groove forming process for forming the groove portion 6 on the main surfaces of the pair of vibrating arms 3 and 4 is performed (S3). Specifically, the etching is performed in the same manner as in the case of forming the outer shape. A photoresist film is formed on the protective film 30. Then, by using a photolithography technique, a photoresist film is patterned by vacating the region of the groove portion 6. Then, the patterned photoresist film is used as a mask. The uranium engraving process and selectively removing the etching protection film 30. Thereafter, by removing the photoresist film, as shown in Fig. 9, the etching protective film which has been patterned can be formed in a state where the groove portion 6 is vacated Then, the etching protection film 30 which is patterned again is used as a mask, and after the wafer S is etched, the etching protection film 30 serving as a mask is removed. As shown in the figure, the groove portion 6 can be formed on each of the two main surfaces of the pair of vibrating arms 3 and 4. Further, the plurality of piezoelectric plates 2 are unillustrated until the cutting process is performed after the execution. The connection portion is shown and connected to the state of the wafer S. (Electrode forming process) Next, by performing exposure through a mask (not shown), an electrode film is patterned on the outer surfaces of the plurality of piezoelectric plates 2, and the excitation electrodes 10 and 11 and the extraction electrode 16 are formed. The electrode forming process of the electrodes 12 and 13 is performed (S4). This project will be described in detail. In the electrode forming process, first, as shown in Fig. 11, in the formation of -16-

Further, the vibrating wrist portion 3 of the eleventh, fourteenth and fifteenth aspects. Next, a photoresist film forming process (S4b) (not shown) is formed on the electrode film 31. The photoresist is a compound based on an ultraviolet light-sensing resin, and a positive resistance is employed in the present embodiment. Since the photoresist has fluidity, it is coated by spray coating or the like, and as shown in Fig. 12, the photoresist mask 33 is formed to expose the photoresist film to the ultraviolet light (not shown). Light Engineering (S4c). At this time, a portion of the electrode film 31 to be left is formed so as to be coated with a photoresist film (not shown). A light blocking portion is formed in a portion of the photoresist 3 where the photoresist film remains, and the photoresist film is removed to have a first opening portion 32. Here, the first opening portion 32 is formed at W1 corresponding to the main surface electrode portion 20 and the side surface electrode. Part 2 W0 part. Further, the first opening portion 32 is formed at a portion P corresponding to the fork portion 15 of the rotor piece 1. Here, the gap U0 corresponding to the inner side surface of the one side portion 3 and the side surface electrode portion 21 formed on the inner side surface of the other arm portion 4 are in the opening width U 1 » Fig. 16 (a ) is the state before the first exposure project, the state after the first first exposure project. In the portion (C portion) where the photoresist film 36 is formed, the thickness is exposed by the first exposure process. However, in the partially thick portion (Part A) of the photoresist film 36, the thickness is not controlled by the first exposure project. After exposure, the photoresist film 36 remains. The formation of the electrogram only shows the light of the film. The first exposure of the mouth portion 32 is patterned in the shape of the opening portion of the pattern. The width of the gap is 1: the gap between the vibrations of the piezoelectric vibration and the shape of the vibration of the piezoelectric vibration, and the shape (6) is a predetermined thickness. Direction Whole -17-201251317 (Second Exposure Project) Thus, as shown in Fig. 13, 'the second exposure of the photoresist film to the ultraviolet light is performed by the correction mask 35 provided with the second opening portion 34 Engineering (S4d). The second opening portion 34 of the correction mask 35 is formed at a position partially overlapping with one of the first opening portions 32 of the reticle 33. First, the second opening portion 34 is formed at a portion corresponding to the gap W0 between the main surface electrode portion 20 and the side surface electrode portion 2 1 . The opening width W2 of the second opening portion 34 in this portion is formed below the opening width W 1 of the first opening portion 32. The opening width W2 is preferably 0.6 times or more and 0.7 times or less the opening width W1. Also, the exposure conditions in the second exposure project are the same as those in the first exposure project. Fig. 16(c) shows the state after the second exposure project, and Fig. 16(d) shows the state after the development project described later. Even in a portion where the photoresist film 36 is partially thick, the entire exposure direction is extended by the second exposure process to expose the entire thickness direction. Accordingly, the photoresist film corresponding to the portion of the gap W0 between the main surface electrode portion 20 and the side surface electrode portion 21 can be surely removed. As a result, the gap W 0 between the main surface electrode portion 20 and the side surface electrode portion 21 can be ensured by a metal etching process to be described later. In general, the sound insulation between the side faces of the vibrating arms 3, 4 and the groove portion 6 in the piezoelectric vibrating piece 1 suppresses R 1 成 to be low, so that it is formed extremely narrow. Therefore, the gap W0 between the main surface electrode portion 20 formed in the groove portion 6 and the side surface electrode portion 21 formed on the side faces of the vibrating arms portions 3, 4 is extremely narrow. In this regard, the manufacturing method of the piezoelectric vibrating piece according to the present embodiment -18-

S 201251317 時’則可以確實地防止該間隙W 0中之主面電極部2 〇和 側面電極部2 1之短路不良。 而且,補正光罩35之第二開口部34之開口寬度W2 因形成光罩33之第一開口部32之開口寬度W1以下,故 即使藉由第二曝光工程通算曝光時間延長,曝光範圍也不 會超過間隙W0。因此,可以在成爲主面電極部20及側面 電極部21之區域殘留光阻膜。其結果,因經過後述金屬 蝕刻工程,可以將主面電極部2 0及側面電極部2 1形成規 定形狀,故可以將R1値抑制成低。 返回第13圖,第二開口部34被形成在對應於壓電振 動片1之叉部15的部分P’。即是,被形成在對應於—方 之振動腕部3之內側面之側面電極部21和另一方之振動 腕部4之內側面之側面電極部21之間隙U 0的部分。該 部分中之第二開口部34之開口寬度U2被形成與第一開 口部32之開口寬度U1大略相同。因藉由使用該補正光 罩35而進行第二曝光工程,通算曝光時間延長,故叉部 15之光阻膜之全部被曝光。因此,可以確實地除去叉部 1 5之光阻膜。其結果,經過後述金屬蝕刻工程,可以確 保一方之振動腕部3之內側面之側面電極部21,和另一 方之振動腕部4之內側面之側面電極部2 1之間隙U0。 並且,在叉部15之附近,即使電極膜之除去量過 剩,也不會影響到R1之增加等之特性値。在此,藉由使 第二開口部34之開口寬度U2與第一開口部32之開口寬 度U1大略成爲相同,而除去叉部15之光阻膜,則可以 -19- 201251317 確實地防止電極間之短路不良。 曝光後,藉由顯像液除去不需要之部分而經加熱工程 等使無圖示之光阻膜固化(S4e)。然後,藉由金屬蝕刻 (S4f),如第14圖所示般,形成依據對應於電極形成部分 之形狀之光阻膜36的光阻圖案。如此一來,藉由除去光 阻膜36(S4g),如第15圖所示般,形成勵振電極10、 11、引出電極16、安裝電極12、13而結束電極形成工程 (54) 。 最後,切斷連結晶圓S和壓電板2之連結部,而執行 自晶圆S切離複數壓電板2使成爲小片化之切斷工程 (55) 。依此,可以從一片晶圓S,一度製造複數音叉型之 壓電振動片1。在該時點,結束壓電振動片1之製造工 程,可以取得第1圖所示之壓電振動片1。 如上述般,在與本實施型態有關之壓電振動片之製造 方法中’在光阻膜形成工程成膜之光阻膜之厚度成爲不均 勻’即使有在第一曝光工程無法充分除去光阻膜之部位, 第二開口部34之開口寬度因係第一開口部32之開口寬度 以下’故不會刪減應殘留之光阻膜之表面積,可以藉由第 ~曝光工程充分除去應除去之光阻膜。因此,可以防止— 對電極之短路不良。 (AT切割壓電振動片之製造方法) 亦可以將與本實施型態有關之壓電振動片之製造方法 適用於AT切割壓電振動片(以下稱爲r AT振動片」)。In the case of S 201251317, it is possible to reliably prevent the short-circuit failure of the main surface electrode portion 2 〇 and the side surface electrode portion 21 in the gap W 0 . Further, since the opening width W2 of the second opening portion 34 of the correcting mask 35 is equal to or smaller than the opening width W1 of the first opening portion 32 of the mask 33, even if the exposure time is extended by the second exposure project, the exposure range is not increased. Will exceed the gap W0. Therefore, the photoresist film can remain in the regions to be the main surface electrode portion 20 and the side surface electrode portion 21. As a result, the main surface electrode portion 20 and the side surface electrode portion 21 can be formed into a predetermined shape by a metal etching process which will be described later, so that R1値 can be suppressed to be low. Returning to Fig. 13, the second opening portion 34 is formed in a portion P' corresponding to the fork portion 15 of the piezoelectric vibration piece 1. That is, a portion formed in the gap U 0 of the side surface electrode portion 21 corresponding to the inner side surface of the inner side of the vibrating arm portion 3 and the side surface electrode portion 21 on the inner side surface of the other vibrating arm portion 4. The opening width U2 of the second opening portion 34 in this portion is formed to be substantially the same as the opening width U1 of the first opening portion 32. Since the second exposure process is performed by using the correction mask 35, the exposure time is extended, and all of the photoresist films of the fork portion 15 are exposed. Therefore, the photoresist film of the fork portion 15 can be surely removed. As a result, the gap U0 between the side surface electrode portion 21 on the inner side surface of the vibrating arm portion 3 and the side surface electrode portion 21 on the inner side surface of the other vibrating arm portion 4 can be ensured by a metal etching process which will be described later. Further, in the vicinity of the fork portion 15, even if the amount of removal of the electrode film is excessive, the characteristic 等 such as an increase in R1 is not affected. Here, by making the opening width U2 of the second opening portion 34 and the opening width U1 of the first opening portion 32 substantially the same, and removing the photoresist film of the fork portion 15, the electrode can be reliably prevented from -19 to 201251317. The short circuit is poor. After the exposure, the unnecessary portion is removed by the developing solution, and the photoresist film (not shown) is cured by heating (S4e). Then, by metal etching (S4f), as shown in Fig. 14, a photoresist pattern according to the photoresist film 36 corresponding to the shape of the electrode forming portion is formed. In this manner, by removing the photoresist film 36 (S4g), as shown in Fig. 15, the excitation electrodes 10, 11, the extraction electrode 16, and the mount electrodes 12, 13 are formed, and the electrode formation process (54) is completed. Finally, the connection portion between the connection wafer S and the piezoelectric plate 2 is cut, and the cutting of the plurality of piezoelectric plates 2 from the wafer S is performed to make the chipping process (55). According to this, the piezoelectric vibrating piece 1 of the complex tuning fork type can be manufactured from one wafer S at a time. At this time, the manufacturing process of the piezoelectric vibrating reed 1 is completed, and the piezoelectric vibrating reed 1 shown in Fig. 1 can be obtained. As described above, in the method of manufacturing a piezoelectric vibrating piece according to the present embodiment, the thickness of the photoresist film formed in the photoresist film forming process becomes uneven, even if the light cannot be sufficiently removed in the first exposure process. In the portion of the resist film, the opening width of the second opening portion 34 is less than the opening width of the first opening portion 32. Therefore, the surface area of the resist film to be left is not removed, and it can be removed by the first exposure process. Photoresist film. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a short circuit to the electrode. (Manufacturing method of the AT-cut piezoelectric vibrating piece) The manufacturing method of the piezoelectric vibrating piece according to the present embodiment can be applied to an AT-cut piezoelectric vibrating piece (hereinafter referred to as r AT vibrating piece).

A rectangular excitation electrode 140 is formed at a central portion of the piezoelectric plate 149. A pair of mounting electrodes 141 are formed at both ends of one side of the piezoelectric plate 149. The excitation electrode 140 and the pair of mounting electrodes 141 are formed on both surfaces of the piezoelectric plate 149. The double-sided mounting electrodes 141 are connected to each other by the side electrodes 144 formed on the side faces of the piezoelectric plates 149. The pair of side electrodes 144 are disposed via the gap T0. Then, the excitation electrode 140 on the surface of the piezoelectric plate 149 is connected to one of the mounting electrodes 141, and the excitation electrode 140 on the back surface of the piezoelectric plate 149 is connected to The other mounting electrode 14 is formed by using the photomask 143 shown in Fig. 25 for the first exposure process. A first opening portion 146 is formed in the photomask 143. The first opening portion 146 is formed with a portion corresponding to the gap T0 of the pair of side surface electrodes 1 44 at the opening width T 1 . In the first exposure process, since the photoresist film disposed on the side surface of the piezoelectric plate 149 is exposed through the opening width T1, there is a possibility that a portion of the photoresist film disposed in the gap T0 is not exposed and remains. . At this time, the gap T0 of the pair of side electrodes 144 is connected to cause a short circuit. Then, the second exposure process is performed using the correction mask 145 which is not shown in Fig. 26. A second opening portion 147 is formed in the correction mask 145. The second opening portion 1 47 is formed at a portion corresponding to the gap T0 of the pair of side surface electrodes 1 44. The opening width T2 of the second opening portion 47 in this portion is formed to be substantially the same as the opening width T1 of the first opening portion 146. Further, since there is a possibility that the light is blocked from the side of the piezoelectric plate 149 except for the gap T 0 , the second opening portion 1 4 is formed on the side surface other than the gap το. . Since the second exposure process is performed by using the correction mask I45, the exposure time is extended, so that all of the photoresist films disposed in the gap Τ0 of the pair of side electrodes 1 44 are exposed. Therefore, the photoresist film of the gap TO can be surely removed. As a result, the gap T0 between the pair of side electrodes 144 can be ensured. Further, in the gap T0 between the pair of side surface electrodes 1 44, even if the amount of removal of the electrode film is excessive, the characteristic 等 such as an increase in R 1 is not affected. Here, by making the opening width T2 of the second opening portion and the opening width T1 of the first opening portion M6 substantially the same, and removing the photoresist film of the gap T0, it is possible to more reliably prevent the pair of side surface electrodes 1 44. Bad short circuit. (Plasma Mounted Piezoelectric Vibrator) Next, an embodiment of the piezoelectric vibrator according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 17 to 20 . Further, in the present embodiment, a surface mount type of glass package type piezoelectric vibrator will be described as an example of a piezoelectric vibrator.

More specifically, the two bumps B formed on the lead electrodes 48 and 49, which will be described later on the base substrate 41, are in contact with each other in a state in which the pair of mounting electrodes 12 and 13 are in contact with each other. Bump joints. As a result, the piezoelectric vibrating reed 1 is supported in a state of being floated from the upper surface of the base substrate 41, and the mount electrodes 12 and 13 and the lead electrodes 48 and 49 are electrically connected to each other. The top cover substrate 42 is a transparent insulating substrate made of a glass material such as soda lime glass, and is formed into a plate shape as shown in Figs. 7, 17 and 20. Then, a rectangular recessed portion 42a for accommodating the piezoelectric vibrating reed 1 is formed on the joint surface side of the bonded base substrate 41. The recessed portion 42a is a recessed portion 42a for a cavity in which the cavity C of the piezoelectric vibrating reed 1 is housed when the two substrates 41 and 42 are stacked. Then, the top cover substrate 42 is anodically bonded to the base substrate 41 in a state where the concave portion 42a faces the base substrate 41 side. The base substrate 41 is a transparent insulating substrate made of a glass material such as soda lime glass, similar to the top cover substrate 4 1 , as shown in FIGS. 17 to 20 , so as to be overlapped with the top cover substrate 42 . The size is formed into a plate shape. The base substrate 41 is formed with a pair of through holes (through holes) 43 and 44 penetrating through the base substrate 41. At this time, the pair of through holes 43, 44 are formed to be housed in the cavity C. When it is described in more detail, the through hole 43 is formed on the side of the base portion 5 of the piezoelectric vibrating reed 1 to be mounted, and the other through hole 44 is located on the front end side of the vibrating arms 3 and 4. In the present embodiment, the through holes 43 and 44 penetrating the base substrate 4 1 are described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this case, and is formed, for example, toward the lower surface of the base substrate 41. The tapered shape of the tapered diameter can also be used. Either way, it is sufficient to penetrate the base substrate 4 1 . Then, a pair of through electrodes 45, 46 formed to bury the through holes 43, 44 are formed in the pair of through holes 43, 44.

On the upper surface side of the base substrate 41 (on the bonding surface side of the bonding cap substrate 42), a bonding film 47 for anodic bonding, and a pair of routing electrodes 48, 49 are patterned by a conductive material (for example, aluminum). . The bonding film 47 is formed along the periphery of the base substrate 41 so as to surround the recess 42a formed on the top substrate 42. Further, the pair of routing electrodes 48 and 49 are electrically connected to the pair of through electrodes 45 and 46, and one of the electrodes 45 and the mounting electrode 12 of one of the piezoelectric vibrating reeds 1 are electrically connected to each other. The other one of the through electrode 46 and the piezoelectric vibrating piece 1 is mounted on the electrode 13. As will be described in more detail, as shown in FIGS. 18 to 20, one of the lead electrodes 48 is formed directly on the base 5 of the piezoelectric vibrating reed 1 so as to be formed on one of the through electrodes 45. Above. Further, the other lead electrode 49 is formed adjacent to one of the lead electrodes 48.

Then, B is formed on each of the pair of routing electrodes 48, 49, and the piezoelectric vibrating reed 1 is mounted by the bumps B. Accordingly, one of the piezoelectric electrodes 1 is electrically connected to the one via electrode 45 via one of the lead electrodes 48, and the other mounting electrode 13 is electrically connected to the other through electrode 46 via the other electrode 49. Further, on the lower surface of the base substrate 41, external electrodes 50, 51 electrically connected to the pair of through portions 45, 46, respectively, are formed as shown in Fig. 17, and FIG. Accordingly, the pair of external electrodes 51 are electrically connected to one of the piezoelectric vibrating reed electrodes 1 through the pair of through electrodes 45 and 46 and the pair of routing electrodes 48, and are: When the piezoelectric vibrator 40 is configured to operate, a specific driving voltage is applied between the external electrodes 50 and 51. In response to this, an electric current is caused to flow through the excitation electrodes 1 〇 and 1 of the piezoelectric vibrating reed 1 to cause the pair of vibrating arms 3 and 4 to vibrate in close proximity or at intervals. The vibration can then be utilized as a source of time, a source of control signals, or a source of reference signals. When the piezoelectric vibrator 40 of the present embodiment is used, the piezoelectric vibrator which is highly reliable and reliable can be used because it is less likely to have a line and is reliable.
