等価抵抗値を抑えるための一般的な方法の一つとして、図16に示すように圧電振動片203の封止されているキャビティC内を真空に近づけて、等価抵抗値と比例関係にある直列共振抵抗値(R1)を低下させる方法が知られている。キャビティC内を真空に近づける方法として、キャビティC内にアルミニウム等からなるゲッター材220を封止し、外部よりレーザを照射して該ゲッター材220を活性化させる方法(ゲッタリング)が知られている(下記特許文献1参照)。この方法によれば、活性化状態になったゲッター材220によって、陽極接合の際に発生する酸素を吸収することができるので、キャビティC内を真空に近づけることができる。

図8Aに戻り、ゲッター材70は、振動腕部10,11からY方向に距離を置いて配置されている。振動腕部10からゲッター材70の端部70eまでの距離e2は、振動腕部10からゲッター材70の中間部70cまでの距離c2より大きくなっている。
図9Aは、第1実施形態の第1変形例におけるゲッター材の説明図であり、図2に相当する平面図である。図8Aないし図8Dに示す第1実施形態では、ゲッター材70のY方向内側の縁辺が円弧状に形成されていたが、図9Aに示す第1変形例では階段状に形成されている点で異なっている。
第1変形例では、ゲッター材70のY方向内側の縁辺が、振動腕部10,11と平行の直線状に形成されている。そして第1実施形態と同様に、振動腕部10,11からゲッター材70の端部70e,70eまでの距離が、振動腕部10,11からゲッター材70の中間部70cまでの距離より大きくなっている。これにより、ゲッター材70のY方向内側の縁辺が階段状に形成されている。
図9Bは、第1実施形態の第2変形例におけるゲッター材の説明図であり、図2に相当する平面図である。図9Aに示す第2変形例では、ゲッター材70のY方向内側の縁辺が山状に形成されている点で、第1実施形態と異なっている。
第2変形例では、ゲッター材70のY方向内側の縁辺は、X方向の中央部と両端部とを結ぶ直線状に形成されている。そして第1実施形態と同様に、振動腕部10,11からゲッター材の端部70e,70eまでの距離が、振動腕部10,11からゲッター材の中間部70cまでの距離より大きくなっている。これにより、ゲッター材70のY方向内側の縁辺が山状に形成されている。
図10は圧電振動子の製造方法のフローチャートであり、図11は圧電振動子の製造方法の説明図である。なお図11においては、図面を見易くするために、ベース基板用ウエハ40における接合膜35およびゲッター材70の図示を省略している。なお、図11に示す点線Mは、後に行う切断工程で切断する切断線を図示している。本実施形態では、ベース基板用ウエハ40とリッド基板用ウエハ50との間に複数の圧電振動片4を配置して、一度に複数の圧電振動子を製造する。
次に、図4に示すゲッター材70にレーザを照射してゲッター材70を活性化させるゲッタリング工程を行う(S72)。レーザとして、次述する微調工程と同じYAGレーザ等を採用することが可能である。上述したように、リッド基板用ウエハ50の外側からはレーザ照射できないので、ベース基板用ウエハ40の外側からレーザ照射を行う。レーザ照射によりゲッター材70(例えばAl)が蒸発すると、キャビティ内の酸素を吸収して金属酸化物(例えばAl2O3)が生成される。これにより、キャビティ内の酸素が消費されるので、真空度を一定レベル以上に向上させることができる。ここで、一定レベルとは、それ以上真空度を向上させても、直列共振抵抗値に大きな変動がない状態を意味する。これにより、適正な直列共振抵抗値を確保することができる。
なお、ゲッタリング工程において圧電振動片4の周波数が変動しても、次述する微調工程において圧電振動子の周波数の微調整が可能である。しかしながら、ゲッタリング工程において圧電振動片4の周波数が大きく変動すると、微調工程において圧電振動子の周波数を公称周波数の範囲内に収めることが困難または不可能になる。
本実施形態では、ゲッター材70の中間部70cの断面積Scが、端部70eの断面積Seより大きくなっている。そのため、中間部70cにレーザ照射するだけで、多量のゲッター材70を蒸発させることが可能になり、パッケージ内の真空度を確保することができる。しかも、中間部70cにレーザ照射することで、生成物が主に振動腕部10、11の中心部に付着する。したがって、ゲッタリングに伴う圧電振動片の周波数の変動を抑制することができる。
なお、切断工程(S90)を行って個々の圧電振動子1に小片化した後に、ゲッタリング工程(S72)および微調工程(S80)を行う工程順序でも構わない。但し、上述したように、ゲッタリング工程(S72)および微調工程(S80)を先に行うことで、ウエハ体60の状態でゲッタリングおよび微調を行うことができるため、複数の圧電振動子1をより効率良く製造することができる。よって、スループットの向上化を図ることができるため好ましい。
この構成によれば、中間部70cをゲッタリングするだけで、多量のゲッター材を活性化することが可能になり、パッケージ9内の真空度を確保することができる。しかも、中間部70cをゲッタリングすることで、ゲッタリングに伴う生成物が主に振動腕部10、11の中心部に付着する。したがって、ゲッタリングに伴う圧電振動片の周波数の変動を抑制することができる。
この構成によれば、中間部70cを活性化する第1ゲッタリング工程を先に行うので、ゲッタリングに伴う生成物をできるだけ振動腕部10、11の中心部に付着させることが可能になる。したがって、ゲッタリングに伴う圧電振動片の周波数の変動を抑制することができる。
このように、ゲッタリング工程において圧電振動片の周波数の変動を抑制することができるので、次の微調工程において圧電振動子の周波数を公称周波数の範囲内に収めることが可能になる。したがって、圧電振動子の歩留まりを向上させることができる。
図12は、第2実施形態に係る圧電振動子の説明図であり、図2に相当する平面図である。図8Aに示す第1実施形態では、ゲッター材70が圧電振動片4の振動腕部10,11の外側に形成されていたが、図12に示す第2実施形態では、ゲッター材70が圧電振動片4の基部12の周囲に形成されている点で異なっている。なお第1実施形態と同様の構成となる部分については、その詳細な説明を省略する。
次に、本発明に係る発振器の一実施形態について、図13を参照しながら説明する。
本実施形態の発振器100は、図13に示すように、圧電振動子1を、集積回路101に電気的に接続された発振子として構成したものである。この発振器100は、コンデンサ等の電子部品102が実装された基板103を備えている。基板103には、発振器用の上記集積回路101が実装されており、この集積回路101の近傍に、圧電振動子1が実装されている。これら電子部品102、集積回路101及び圧電振動子1は、図示しない配線パターンによってそれぞれ電気的に接続されている。なお、各構成部品は、図示しない樹脂によりモールドされている。
また、集積回路101の構成を、例えば、RTC(リアルタイムクロック)モジュール等を要求に応じて選択的に設定することで、時計用単機能発振器等の他、当該機器や外部機器の動作日や時刻を制御したり、時刻やカレンダー等を提供したりする機能を付加することができる。
次に、本発明に係る電子機器の一実施形態について、図14を参照して説明する。なお電子機器として、上述した圧電振動子1を有する携帯情報機器110を例にして説明する。始めに本実施形態の携帯情報機器110は、例えば、携帯電話に代表されるものであり、従来技術における腕時計を発展、改良したものである。外観は腕時計に類似し、文字盤に相当する部分に液晶ディスプレイを配し、この画面上に現在の時刻等を表示させることができるものである。また、通信機として利用する場合には、手首から外し、バンドの内側部分に内蔵されたスピーカ及びマイクロフォンによって、従来技術の携帯電話と同様の通信を行うことが可能である。しかしながら、従来の携帯電話と比較して、格段に小型化及び軽量化されている。
無線部117は、音声データ等の各種データを、アンテナ125を介して基地局と送受信のやりとりを行う。音声処理部118は、無線部117又は増幅部120から入力された音声信号を符号化及び複号化する。増幅部120は、音声処理部118又は音声入出力部121から入力された信号を、所定のレベルまで増幅する。音声入出力部121は、スピーカやマイクロフォン等からなり、着信音や受話音声を拡声したり、音声を集音したりする。
なお、呼制御メモリ部124は、通信の発着呼制御に係るプログラムを格納する。また、電話番号入力部122は、例えば、0から9の番号キー及びその他のキーを備えており、これら番号キー等を押下することにより、通話先の電話番号等が入力される。
なお、通信部114の機能に係る部分の電源を、選択的に遮断することができる電源遮断部126を備えることで、通信部114の機能をより確実に停止することができる。
次に、本発明に係る電波時計の一実施形態について、図15を参照して説明する。
本実施形態の電波時計130は、図15に示すように、フィルタ部131に電気的に接続された圧電振動子1を備えたものであり、時計情報を含む標準の電波を受信して、正確な時刻に自動修正して表示する機能を備えた時計である。
日本国内には、福島県(40kHz)と佐賀県(60kHz)とに、標準の電波を送信する送信所(送信局)があり、それぞれ標準電波を送信している。40kHz若しくは60kHzのような長波は、地表を伝播する性質と、電離層と地表とを反射しながら伝播する性質とを併せもつため、伝播範囲が広く、上述した2つの送信所で日本国内を全て網羅している。
アンテナ132は、40kHz若しくは60kHzの長波の標準電波を受信する。長波の標準電波は、タイムコードと呼ばれる時刻情報を、40kHz若しくは60kHzの搬送波にAM変調をかけたものである。受信された長波の標準電波は、アンプ133によって増幅され、複数の圧電振動子1を有するフィルタ部131によって濾波、同調される。
本実施形態における圧電振動子1は、上記搬送周波数と同一の40kHz及び60kHzの共振周波数を有する水晶振動子部138、139をそれぞれ備えている。
搬送波は、40kHz若しくは60kHzであるから、水晶振動子部138、139は、上述した音叉型の構造を持つ振動子が好適である。
また、上記実施形態では振動腕部10からゲッター材70の端部70eまでの距離e2を中間部70cまでの距離c2より大きくしたが、距離e2および距離c2を同等に形成した上で、振動腕部10から離れた位置で(Y方向の外側で)端部70eをゲッタリングしてもよい。ただし、距離e2を距離c2より大きくすれば、ゲッター材の材料を節約することができる。
また、上記実施形態ではゲッター材70を中心線Lyに対して線対称形状に形成したが、ゲッター材70を非線対称形状に形成した上で、線対称となるようにゲッタリングしてもよい。
また、上記実施形態では、圧電振動片4をバンプ接合したが、バンプ接合に限定されるものではない。例えば、導電性接着剤により圧電振動片4を接合しても構わない。但し、バンプ接合することで、圧電振動片4をベース基板2の上面から浮かすことができ、振動に必要な最低限の振動ギャップを自然と確保することができる。よって、バンプ接合することが好ましい。
また本発明に係る圧電振動子の製造方法によれば、中間部を活性化する第1ゲッタリング工程を先に行うので、ゲッタリングに伴う生成物をできるだけ振動腕部の中心部付近に付着させることが可能になる。したがって、ゲッタリングに伴う周波数の変動を抑制することができる。
