In addition, since each case is formed of a glass substrate or the like, the processing is complicated, and it cannot always be said that it is suitable for downsizing.

(Piezoelectric vibration device)
The piezoelectric vibration device according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view for explaining the piezoelectric vibration device according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the piezoelectric vibration device according to the present embodiment, and FIG. Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along line III-III.
 図1に示すように、本実施形態に係る圧電振動デバイス1は、圧電振動子100と、リッド部材200と、ベース部材300とを備える。リッド部材200及びベース部材300は、圧電振動子100の一部(圧電振動片)を収容するためのケース又はパッケージである。圧電振動子100、リッド部材200及びベース部材300は、XY平面視において略同じ寸法及び形状を有しており、例えばX方向に平行な長手方向とY方向に平行な短手方向を有する略矩形の外形形状を有する。なお、図1において外部電極は省略している。 As shown in FIG. 1, the piezoelectric vibration device 1 according to this embodiment includes a piezoelectric vibrator 100, a lid member 200, and a base member 300. The lid member 200 and the base member 300 are cases or packages for housing a part of the piezoelectric vibrator 100 (piezoelectric vibrating piece). The piezoelectric vibrator 100, the lid member 200, and the base member 300 have substantially the same size and shape in an XY plan view, for example, a substantially rectangular shape having a longitudinal direction parallel to the X direction and a short direction parallel to the Y direction. It has the outer shape. In FIG. 1, external electrodes are omitted.
 図2に示すように、圧電振動子100は、圧電振動片110と、圧電振動片110の外周を囲む枠体120とを備える。圧電振動片110は、枠体120との接続部111を有しており、接続部111は、圧電振動片110の長手方向の一方端に配置されている。すなわち、圧電振動片110は、接続部111を除いて枠体120から離間して設けられている。なお、圧電振動片110は、例えば略矩形の外形形状を有していてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 2, the piezoelectric vibrator 100 includes a piezoelectric vibrating piece 110 and a frame body 120 that surrounds the outer periphery of the piezoelectric vibrating piece 110. The piezoelectric vibrating piece 110 has a connecting portion 111 with the frame body 120, and the connecting portion 111 is disposed at one end in the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric vibrating piece 110. That is, the piezoelectric vibrating piece 110 is provided apart from the frame body 120 except for the connection portion 111. The piezoelectric vibrating piece 110 may have, for example, a substantially rectangular outer shape.
 圧電振動片110及び枠体120は、所与の圧電材料から一体的に形成されてもよい。圧電振動片110及び枠体120に使用される圧電材料は限定されるものではないが、例えば水晶であってもよく、ATカットで形成された水晶であってもよい。ATカット水晶を用いた圧電振動子100は、広い温度範囲で極めて高い周波数安定性を有し、また、経時変化特性にも優れている上、低コストで製造することが可能である。また、ATカット水晶で構成された圧電振動子100は、厚みすべり振動モード(Thickness Shear Mode)を主振動として用いられることが多い。なお、圧電振動片110と枠体120は、同一材料で形成されるものに限らずに異なる材料によって形成されてもよく、この場合、少なくとも圧電振動片110が圧電材料から形成されればよい。 The piezoelectric vibrating piece 110 and the frame body 120 may be integrally formed from a given piezoelectric material. The piezoelectric material used for the piezoelectric vibrating piece 110 and the frame body 120 is not limited, but may be, for example, quartz or quartz formed by AT cut. The piezoelectric vibrator 100 using an AT-cut quartz has extremely high frequency stability in a wide temperature range, is excellent in aging characteristics, and can be manufactured at low cost. In addition, the piezoelectric vibrator 100 made of AT-cut quartz often uses a thickness shear vibration mode as a main vibration. The piezoelectric vibrating piece 110 and the frame body 120 are not limited to being formed of the same material, and may be formed of different materials. In this case, at least the piezoelectric vibrating piece 110 may be formed of a piezoelectric material.
 圧電振動片110及び枠体120は、シリコン単結晶材料から一体的に形成されてもよい。この場合、ウエハ状のシリコン材料に半導体製造技術(マスク露光とエッチングなど)でデバイスを作製したシリコンMEMS(メムス、MicroElectro Mechanical Systems)、所謂Si-MEMSであってもよく、圧電振動片110は、圧電材料、例えばAlN、LT、PZTなどの所謂圧電MEMSであってもよい。この場合、リッド部材は熱膨張係数の近いシリコン材料が好ましく、これにより接合部の応力が低減される。 The piezoelectric vibrating piece 110 and the frame body 120 may be integrally formed from a silicon single crystal material. In this case, it may be a silicon MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems), a so-called Si-MEMS, in which a device is fabricated on a wafer-like silicon material by a semiconductor manufacturing technique (mask exposure and etching, etc.). A so-called piezoelectric MEMS such as AlN, LT, PZT, or the like may be used. In this case, the lid member is preferably made of a silicon material having a close thermal expansion coefficient, which reduces the stress at the joint.
 圧電振動片110の第1面112には第1励振電極130が形成され、他方、圧電振動片110の第2面114には第2励振電極140が形成されている。第1及び第2励振電極130,140は、一対の電極として、XY平面視において略全体が重なり合うように配置されている。また、枠体120の第1面122には、第1励振電極130に電気的に接続された延出電極132が形成されている。延出電極132は、第1励振電極130から接続部111を通って圧電振動子100の長手方向の一方端(X軸負方向の端部)に向かって延出され、かつ、圧電振動子100の短手方向の一方端(Y軸負方向の端部)に向かって延出されおり、枠体120の圧電振動片側の側面を通って、枠体120の第2面124にさらに延出され、この面に形成された接続電極134と電気的に接続されている。他方、枠体120の第2面124には、第2励振電極140に電気的に接続された延出電極142が形成されている。延出電極142は、第2励振電極140から接続部111を通って圧電振動子100の長手方向の一方端(X軸負方向の端部)に向かって延出され、かつ、圧電振動子100の短手方向の他方端(Y軸正方向の端部)に向かって延出されており、枠体120の第2面124に形成された接続電極144に電気的に接続されている。また、枠体120の第2面124には、他の接続電極154,164が形成されていてもよい。図2に示す例では、枠体120の第2面124において、圧電振動子100の長手方向の他方端(X軸正方向の端部)で、かつ圧電振動子100の短手方向の他方端(Y軸正方向の端部)に接続電極154が形成されており、圧電振動子100の長手方向の他方端(X軸正方向の端部)で、かつ圧電振動子100の短手方向の一方端(Y軸負方向の端部)に接続電極164が形成されている。このように、図2に示す例では、第1及び第2励振電極130,140と電気的に接続された接続電極134,144が、枠体120の長手方向の一方端側(すなわちX軸負方向の短辺側)に配置されており、接続電極154,164が、枠体120の長手方向の他方端(すなわちX軸正方向の短辺側)に配置されている。 The first excitation electrode 130 is formed on the first surface 112 of the piezoelectric vibrating piece 110, while the second excitation electrode 140 is formed on the second surface 114 of the piezoelectric vibrating piece 110. The first and second excitation electrodes 130 and 140 are arranged as a pair of electrodes so as to substantially overlap each other in the XY plan view. An extension electrode 132 that is electrically connected to the first excitation electrode 130 is formed on the first surface 122 of the frame body 120. The extension electrode 132 extends from the first excitation electrode 130 through the connection portion 111 toward one end in the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric vibrator 100 (end in the negative X-axis direction), and the piezoelectric vibrator 100. Extending toward one end in the short direction (end in the negative Y-axis direction), and further extending to the second surface 124 of the frame body 120 through the side surface of the frame body 120 on the piezoelectric vibrating piece side. The electrode is electrically connected to the connection electrode 134 formed on this surface. On the other hand, an extended electrode 142 that is electrically connected to the second excitation electrode 140 is formed on the second surface 124 of the frame body 120. The extension electrode 142 extends from the second excitation electrode 140 through the connection portion 111 toward one end in the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric vibrator 100 (end in the negative direction of the X axis), and the piezoelectric vibrator 100. Is extended toward the other end in the short direction (end in the positive Y-axis direction), and is electrically connected to the connection electrode 144 formed on the second surface 124 of the frame body 120. In addition, other connection electrodes 154 and 164 may be formed on the second surface 124 of the frame body 120. In the example shown in FIG. 2, on the second surface 124 of the frame body 120, the other end in the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric vibrator 100 (the end portion in the positive X-axis direction) and the other end in the short direction of the piezoelectric vibrator 100. A connection electrode 154 is formed on the (Y-axis positive end), the other end in the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric vibrator 100 (X-axis positive end), and the short side of the piezoelectric vibrator 100. A connection electrode 164 is formed at one end (end in the negative Y-axis direction). As described above, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the connection electrodes 134 and 144 electrically connected to the first and second excitation electrodes 130 and 140 are connected to one end side in the longitudinal direction of the frame body 120 (that is, the X-axis negative electrode). The connection electrodes 154 and 164 are arranged at the other end in the longitudinal direction of the frame body 120 (that is, the short side in the positive direction of the X axis).
 なお、図2に示す例では、接続電極134,144は枠体120の同じ短辺側の2つのコーナー部に配置され、かつ接続電極154,164は枠体120の他方の短辺側の2つのコーナー部に配置されているが、接続電極134,144,154,164の配置はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば、接続電極134,144は枠体120の同じ長辺側の2つのコーナー部に配置され、かつ接続電極154,164は枠体120の他方の長辺側の2つのコーナー部に配置されていてもよく、または、接続電極134,144はXY平面視における枠体120の対角上の2つのコーナー部に配置され、かつ接続電極154,164は他の対角上の2つのコーナー部に配置されていてもよい。この場合、延出電極は励振電極と接続電極との間を適宜延出させればよい。 In the example shown in FIG. 2, the connection electrodes 134 and 144 are arranged at two corners on the same short side of the frame 120, and the connection electrodes 154 and 164 are 2 on the other short side of the frame 120. However, the arrangement of the connection electrodes 134, 144, 154, 164 is not limited to this, and for example, the connection electrodes 134, 144 are two on the same long side of the frame 120. The connection electrodes 154 and 164 may be disposed at the two corners on the other long side of the frame body 120, or the connection electrodes 134 and 144 may be disposed at the corner portion in the XY plan view. The connection electrodes 154 and 164 may be arranged at two corners on the other diagonal. In this case, the extension electrode may be appropriately extended between the excitation electrode and the connection electrode.
 第1及び第2励振電極130,140を含む上記各電極は、例えば、下地をクロム(Cr)層で形成し、クロム層の表面に金(Au)層を形成してもよく、その材料は限定されるものではない。 Each of the electrodes including the first and second excitation electrodes 130 and 140 may be formed, for example, by forming a base with a chromium (Cr) layer and forming a gold (Au) layer on the surface of the chromium layer. It is not limited.
 リッド部材200は、接合材210を介して、枠体120の第1面122に接合されている。リッド部材200は、例えば絶縁セラミック、シリコン及び水晶のいずれかの材料によって形成されてもよい。例えば、リッド部材200は、圧電振動子100と同じ材料(例えば水晶)によって形成されてもよい。 The lid member 200 is bonded to the first surface 122 of the frame body 120 via the bonding material 210. The lid member 200 may be formed of, for example, any material of insulating ceramic, silicon, and quartz. For example, the lid member 200 may be formed of the same material (for example, quartz) as the piezoelectric vibrator 100.
 接合材210は、枠体120の外周に沿って一体的に設けられ、リッド部材200と枠体120との間を隙間なく密封封止する。接合材210の材料は限定されるものではないが、例えば、低融点ガラス(例えば鉛ホウ酸系や錫リン酸系等)や、低温で乾燥するガラス(例えばアルミナ、シリカ等)や、樹脂材料(例えばエポキシ接着剤)を用いることができる。 The bonding material 210 is integrally provided along the outer periphery of the frame body 120 and hermetically seals the gap between the lid member 200 and the frame body 120 without a gap. Although the material of the bonding material 210 is not limited, for example, low melting point glass (for example, lead boric acid type or tin phosphoric acid type), glass that is dried at a low temperature (for example, alumina, silica, etc.), resin material, etc. (For example, an epoxy adhesive) can be used.
 ベース部材300は、接着剤310を介して、枠体120の第2面124に接合されている。ベース部材300は、リッド部材200とは異なる材料によって形成され、具体的には、絶縁性樹脂材料によって形成されている。このような絶縁性樹脂材料としては、圧電振動デバイスの製造工程におけるハンダリフロー温度(例えば270℃乃至300℃以上の温度)に対して耐熱性を有する材料が選択される。このような耐熱性を有する材料として、ポリイミド樹脂を用いてもよい。あるいは、ベース部材300は、絶縁性樹脂材料によって形成されたものであれば特に限定されるものではなく、その他の有機系材料(例えばエポキシ樹脂)又は、無機系及び有機系の複合材料(例えばガラスエポキシ樹脂)などであってもよい。なお、ベース部材300は、圧電振動子100及び/又はリッド部材200よりもフレキシブル性が高い材料から形成されていてもよい。 The base member 300 is joined to the second surface 124 of the frame body 120 via the adhesive 310. The base member 300 is formed of a material different from that of the lid member 200, and specifically is formed of an insulating resin material. As such an insulating resin material, a material having heat resistance to a solder reflow temperature (for example, a temperature of 270 ° C. to 300 ° C. or more) in the manufacturing process of the piezoelectric vibration device is selected. A polyimide resin may be used as such a material having heat resistance. Alternatively, the base member 300 is not particularly limited as long as it is formed of an insulating resin material. Other organic materials (for example, epoxy resins) or inorganic and organic composite materials (for example, glass) Epoxy resin) or the like. Note that the base member 300 may be formed of a material having higher flexibility than the piezoelectric vibrator 100 and / or the lid member 200.
 接着剤310は、枠体120の外周に沿って一体的に設けられ、ベース部材300と枠体120との間を隙間なく密封封止する。接着剤310の材料は限定されるものではないが、ベース部材300の材料と同様に、樹脂材料(例えば、エポキシ接着剤)であることが好ましい。 The adhesive 310 is integrally provided along the outer periphery of the frame body 120 and hermetically seals the gap between the base member 300 and the frame body 120 without any gap.

 次に、図4及び図5を参照しつつ、本実施形態に係る圧電振動デバイスの製造方法を説明する。以下においては製造方法の一例として、いわゆるウエハレベルCSP(Chip Size Pachage)と呼ばれる、ウエハ状態のままパッケージングまでを行う態様を説明する。
(Method for manufacturing piezoelectric vibration device)
Next, a manufacturing method of the piezoelectric vibrating device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following, as an example of a manufacturing method, a mode called so-called wafer level CSP (Chip Size Package), which performs packaging up to a wafer state, will be described.
 まず、図4に示すように、複数の圧電振動子100aの集合体である第1集合基板1000、複数のリッド部材200aの集合体である第2集合基板2000、及び、複数のベース部材300aの集合体である第3集合基板3000を用意する(図5のS10)。第1集合基板1000の複数の圧電振動子100aは、それぞれが圧電振動子100に対応する領域であり、第2集合基板2000の複数のリッド部材200aは、それぞれがリッド部材200に対応する領域であり、第3集合基板3000の複数のベース部材300aは、それぞれがベース部材300に対応する領域であり、それらはいずれもダイシング又はレーザ光によって切断され、個片化される前の状態を有する。第1~第3集合基板1000,2000,3000は互いに略同じ平面寸法及び外形を有する。 First, as shown in FIG. 4, a first aggregate substrate 1000 that is an aggregate of a plurality of piezoelectric vibrators 100a, a second aggregate substrate 2000 that is an aggregate of a plurality of lid members 200a, and a plurality of base members 300a. A third aggregate substrate 3000, which is an aggregate, is prepared (S10 in FIG. 5). The plurality of piezoelectric vibrators 100a of the first collective substrate 1000 are areas corresponding to the piezoelectric vibrators 100, and the plurality of lid members 200a of the second collective board 2000 are areas corresponding to the lid members 200, respectively. Each of the plurality of base members 300a of the third collective substrate 3000 is a region corresponding to the base member 300, and each of them has a state before being cut into pieces by dicing or laser light. The first to third collective substrates 1000, 2000, and 3000 have substantially the same planar dimensions and external shape.
 第1集合基板1000は、例えば、水晶基板をエッチングすることによって各圧電振動子100aに、圧電振動片110及び枠体120の外形を形成し、その後、スパッタ法又は真空蒸着法等によって第1及び第2励振電極130,140をはじめとする各種電極を形成する(図2参照)。 For example, the first collective substrate 1000 forms the outer shape of the piezoelectric vibrating piece 110 and the frame body 120 on each piezoelectric vibrator 100a by etching a quartz substrate, and then first and Various electrodes including the second excitation electrodes 130 and 140 are formed (see FIG. 2).
 次に、第1集合基板1000と第2集合基板2000とを接合材210を介して接合する(図5のS12)。その後、必要に応じて、第1集合基板1000のそれぞれの圧電振動子100aの周波数調整を行う。例えば、圧電振動子100aの表面の周波数調整用の金属被覆部(例えば第2励振電極140)にレーザ光などの光ビームを照射することによって、周波数調整を行ってもよい。なお、周波数調整は、接合前の第1集合基板1000に対して行ってもよい。 Next, the first collective substrate 1000 and the second collective substrate 2000 are bonded through the bonding material 210 (S12 in FIG. 5). Thereafter, the frequency of each piezoelectric vibrator 100a of the first collective substrate 1000 is adjusted as necessary. For example, the frequency adjustment may be performed by irradiating the surface of the piezoelectric vibrator 100a with a light beam such as a laser beam on a metal cover for frequency adjustment (for example, the second excitation electrode 140). The frequency adjustment may be performed on the first collective substrate 1000 before bonding.
 次に、第1集合基板1000と第3集合基板3000とを接着剤310を介して接合する(図5のS14)。具体的には、第1集合基板1000の枠体120の第2面124に接着剤310を塗布し、その後、第3集合基板3000を第1集合基板1000に貼付することによって接合する。その際、第3集合基板3000を加熱することによって絶縁性樹脂材料を熱硬化させる。こうして、第1~第3集合基板1000,2000,3000の積層体を形成する。 Next, the first collective substrate 1000 and the third collective substrate 3000 are joined via the adhesive 310 (S14 in FIG. 5). Specifically, the adhesive 310 is applied to the second surface 124 of the frame body 120 of the first collective substrate 1000, and then the third collective substrate 3000 is bonded to the first collective substrate 1000 for bonding. At that time, the insulating resin material is thermally cured by heating the third aggregate substrate 3000. Thus, a laminated body of the first to third aggregate substrates 1000, 2000, and 3000 is formed.
 次に、第3集合基板3000の複数のベース部材300aのそれぞれに、枠体120の第2面124に形成された接続電極134,144,154,164に対応して、複数の貫通穴(図3の貫通穴342,344参照)を形成する(図5のS16)。具体的には、レーザ光によって第3集合基板3000及び接着剤310を貫通した貫通穴を形成し、その後、めっき法などによって貫通穴に金属材料を充填させて、圧電振動子100aの接続電極134,144,154,164と電気的かつ機械的に接続させる。 Next, in each of the plurality of base members 300a of the third collective substrate 3000, a plurality of through holes (see FIG. 5) corresponding to the connection electrodes 134, 144, 154, 164 formed on the second surface 124 of the frame body 120 are formed. 3 through holes 342 and 344) (S16 in FIG. 5). Specifically, a through-hole penetrating the third collective substrate 3000 and the adhesive 310 is formed by laser light, and then the through-hole is filled with a metal material by a plating method or the like to connect the connection electrode 134 of the piezoelectric vibrator 100a. , 144, 154, 164 are electrically and mechanically connected.
 次に、第3集合基板3000の貫通穴にハンダペーストを設け、ハンダペーストをリフロー溶融させる(図5のS18)。ハンダペーストは例えばスクリーン印刷などの印刷法を用いて、それぞれの貫通穴(めっきによる金属材料が充填されている)に対応する位置に設けることができる。そして、ハンダをリフロー溶融させることによって外部電極330~336であるハンダボールを形成することができる。 Next, solder paste is provided in the through holes of the third aggregate substrate 3000, and the solder paste is reflow-melted (S18 in FIG. 5). The solder paste can be provided at a position corresponding to each through hole (filled with a metal material by plating) using a printing method such as screen printing. Then, solder balls as the external electrodes 330 to 336 can be formed by reflow melting the solder.
 最後に、第1~第3集合基板1000,2000,3000の積層体をダイシング又はレーザ光などの光ビームを照射させて切断することによって、圧電振動子100、リッド部材200及びベース部材300を有する圧電振動子1を個片に切り出すことができる(図5のS20)。 Finally, the laminated body of the first to third collective substrates 1000, 2000, and 3000 is cut by irradiating a light beam such as dicing or laser light, thereby having the piezoelectric vibrator 100, the lid member 200, and the base member 300. The piezoelectric vibrator 1 can be cut into individual pieces (S20 in FIG. 5).
